When a gigantic red star, the Menace, appeared in the sky, some people thought the end had come. They weren’t wrong. The appearance of the Menace gave birth to Epics—people with incredible abilities whom they didn’t deserve. These superhumans could have saved humanity and brought the world to harmony and prosperity. Instead, they burned, killed, and conquered. And once the planet became impoverished and weakened, the Epics began to rule it.
Jax learned the cruelty of the new power from bitter experience. From early childhood, the boy trained with the Replacers— a team that does everything possible to stop the Epics. It is this small detachment that will have to go into battle when the mysterious Supreme Epic arrives with his flying city Lux to plunder what remains of Texas. Jax needs to infiltrate the very heart of the flying fortress to take revenge and defeat the invincible. There is no right to make a mistake, because the fate of all humanity is at stake.
