"Uncanny" by Soren Holst

Prologue

Superheroes. Metahumans. Mutants. Extranormals. New Gods. The future. Whatever you might call them, metahumans have been part of every facet of our daily lives since the dawn of mankind, whether we've known it or not. Be they colorful or shadowy, benevolent or sinister, famous or secret, extranormal entities have irrevocably shaped human history, and will continue to do so. In an effort to record and understand them, I found it prudent to author the very novel you're reading right now - be it a physical copy or a digital one - in order to, as accurately as possible, convey both the majesty and terror which accompanies these colorful characters.

The world is strange.

Let's make some sense of it.

This is interesting.

I want more.

@hound_of_war: Eventually every chapter will be written and linked to from here.

Lichter's just gonna casually write a CV-universe book like it's nothing.

@haven_oshea: It'll pretty much just be links to major events and summaries of them in relation to the topics. Nothing too big, the page numbers aren't accurate ;)

Oh my god this is gonna be great.

@lichter: Sweet man! Sweet!

Woohoo!

See, I get extra excited because I was gonna have James Merrarn write a book or something but I was always to busy. So I'm glad someone else is actually gonna do one!

@admirallogic: @jason_ford: @dreadpool10: Thanks guys! This is going to be a long-scale project. Not a priority, but something I can do when I have nothing else to think about.

Leaves a drunk rant in russian as an amazon review.

@lichter: @strigidae_23:

Well this is gonna be some cool der'mo.

I added the last for our Russian contingent :)
