Mark April 1st on your calendar. No, not because it’s April Fool’s Day but because that is the day you can order your very own copy of Mik Murdoch: Shifting Alliances!
After several false starts and life interruptions, Mik 5 is finally finished and is being put through its final paces before being available to you, the reader. This is the penultimate book in the Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero series.
Here is the blurb for the book:
A town under siege. A team divided. A hero push
ed to the limit.
Twelve-year-old Mik Murdoch is the super-powered guardian of Cranberry Flats, but even a hero can’t protect a small town alone. Just as Mik’s best friends, Cynthia and Evelyn, gain incredible powers of their own, the dream of a legendary superhero team begins to fracture. Evelyn is done “playing games”—she’s ready to grow up and leave her abilities behind, leaving the team broken just when the town needs them most.
Something is hunting the livestock of Cranberry Flats. What the town believes is a lone wolf, Mik suspects is something far more dangerous: a werewolf. As the local Mayor hires a squad of aggressive, black-clad “specialists” to capture the beast, the line between the hunters and the hunted begins to blur.
With his father still recovering from a brush with death, and the sinister Commander Anjoteaux watching his every move, Mik must master his new density-shifting powers to uncover the truth. From the shadows of the “haunted” Halloway Mansion to a public showdown in the town square, Mik and his friends must navigate shifting alliances to save a newcomer with a tragic past and protect the only home they’ve ever known.
In Cranberry Flats, secrets are buried deep—and some monsters wear suits.
If you are a Mik Murdoch fan, this is a fantastic (if I do say so myself) continuation of his hero’s journey. If you haven’t yet discovered Mik, now is a great time to start with book one, Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero. You can do that now or wait until April 1st and get them all. 😛
