![]() The second year after Calamity, David had an unfortunate encounter of his own with a couple of Epics, and he was the lone survivor. No one knows what Calamity is or how the Epics came into being, but there are plenty of theories, including a popular one of a government project gone wrong. Twelve years earlier, “Calamity” appeared in the sky, and the next year, ordinary men started changing into “Epics” – people who had some sort of superpower (which varied among Epics). ![]() The narrator is David Charleston, 18, who is living in a post-apocalyptic Chicago, now called Newcago. I wanted to read this book because it has garnered many awards, especially in the categories of “favorite teen books.” I was surprised (but perhaps should not have been) to find that this book seemed more like a computer game or Marvel Comic Book in prose – sort of like a reverse graphic novel. ![]()
