Seven wonders

Seven Wonders / Adam Christopher 405 pgs.

The Seven Wonders is a super hero group protecting the California metropolis of San Ventura from the evil super villain The Cowl. Somehow they haven't quite managed to eradicate the threat and The Cowl is still active.  One day, mild manner computer sales man Tony Prosdocimi wakes up with a super power...the next day another.  Turns out he is becoming the strongest super hero in the world.  He will finally get The Cowl once and for all. But wait a second.  Things aren't quite a straight forward when he saves a corner store from being robbed but in the process trashes the place and scares the heck our of the clerk who throws all the cash at him and simpers in fear.  Tony needs some money so he ends up taking it.  Now his power has sort of gone to his head.  Is he a good guy or a bad guy?  Hard to tell.  The second act includes an alien invasion that brings out every superhero to fight for the survival of earth.  In the end this book starts out with a bang but then goes on too long.  It isn't a bad book but makes me want to reread the much better "Soon I will be Invincible".
