He'll sacrifice anything to save them . . . except being human.

The world became aware of them sixty years ago: people with remarkable physical and sometimes psychic power, often with terrifying deformities. Most folks call them deviants or use slurs like "deev." They call themselves omnihumans.

Manic is a federal officer whose job is to take down allegedly dangerous deevs. He loves it, and he's damn good at it. He'd wipe 'em all off the face of the earth if he could, because every deev out there is a threat to mankind, including his only child--even if she is a naïve college girl devoted to protecting the civil rights of the very deviants he arrests.

When his daughter's tuition funds suddenly run out, Manic accepts a high-paying, off-the-books gig assassinating individual deevs. But after learning a deviant he's killed was hunting down gangsters trafficking in the bodies and minds of children, Manic inherits his quest.

But Manic's identity and clarity of purpose are thrown into chaos when he uncovers the concrete labyrinth where the gangsters are doing their dirty work and finds a vigilante deviant who's also trying to destroy the organization. Humans, he'll learn, can be far worse than any deev. And protecting those most innocent may not only cost his life . . . but his humanity . . .
