We see this from a handful of newly powered people moving into this world. It's kind of an uneasy acceptance of one another to keep things from being worse. In exchange, the villains don't go after heroes' families, try not to kill anyone, etc. Rules are in place where as long as the bad guys don't break them, the capes don't come after them hard core. There is a balance of power between the alliance of heroes and the villains' guild. The book is a unique take on the concept of building a super hero universe. I picked it up, got it signed, and then did what I am most likely to do: download the audiobook and listen to it. While I was there, he had a new series starting up called The Villains' Code with the first book, Forging Hephaestus, available in hardcover (Ashley bought the last soft cover copy). He's a nice guy and freely chatted about his work, the process, and gave me some tips for getting my own books onto Audible (working on that). It was an interesting read, and getting to meet Drew in person was very cool. It's a fun tale about an average guy becoming a vampire and basically staying an average guy… until he gets caught up with a girl from high school that fights monsters. My first experience with his work was a novel Ashley had bought for me called The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant.
