The Razor's Edge

by E.L. Randolph

IT IS 2020 IN PARADIGM CITY. THE SUN IS OUT, AND ALL SEEMS PEACEFUL IN THIS BUSTLING CITY-EXCEPT FOR ONE HOUSE, WHERE EVIL LURKS. BETHANY ROTHYCHYLD IS A TORTURED WOMAN. ABUSED BY HER HUSBAND ELI FOR YEARS, BETHANY IS AT THE END OF HER ROPE. AS HE HOLDS A GUN TO THE HUSBAND WHO VIEWS HER AS A TROPHY AND NOTHING MORE, SHE SUDDENLY TURNS THE WEAPON ON HERSELF-WITH THE HOPE OF ENDING THE ABUSE FOREVER. JOHN KNIGHT, THE HEAD OF ULTRA TECH HOSPITAL, IS USED TO SECRETS. A SCIENTIFIC GENIUS GIFTED WITH THE ABILITY TO FORESEE FUTURE EVENTS, JOHN IS ALREADY KNOWN FOR THE MIRACLES HE PERFORMS WITH PROSTHETIC RESEARCH. BUT AS AN EVIL MENACE TERRORIZES PARADIGM CITY, JOHN HURRIES TO CREATE A TEAM OF SUPERHEROES TO DEFEAT THE THREAT. MEANWHILE, BETHANY SURVIVES HER GUNSHOT WOUND BUT SOON REALIZES THAT SHE MAY NEVER ESCAPE ELI AND HIS MISSION TO CONTROL HER. NO ONE IN PARADIGM CITY KNOWS THE NAMES OF THE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED HEROES WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO SAVE THEIR CITY FROM DESTRUCTION. BUT ONE MAN IS DETERMINED TO STOP THEM-NO MATTER WHAT THE SACRIFICE.
