New Crusaders


Book Description

Led by the original patriotic superhero The Shield, the New Crusaders defend the city of Red Circle from evil in the tradition of the Mighty Crusaders, America’s greatest superhero team! Over a decade ago, The Mighty Crusaders did the impossible: they won. Successful in their battle against evil and finding they'd made the world a better place, the heroes founded the town of Red Circle to start families, unwind and take a much-deserved rest. For all their kids (and some of their spouses!) know, these everyday people have spent their entire lives as accountants, teachers, lawyers and handymen--totally normal. Until now. When a vicious and deadly villain from their past returns, the heroes vanish, their families shattered, and only one of them remains standing: the Shield. The Shield collects the remaining children of the lost Red Circle heroes and ushers them to safety in an underground bunker--the last remaining vestige of their parents' past lives--to reveal the truth about their parents, the monster that took them, and their own unique super-powers. "You are our last, best hope. You are the New Crusaders."

Over the centuries, in our nation's times of need, a supernatural force appears to battle back the enemies of the United States: The Shield.

Global warming's effects on the environment are drastic and dramatic, with superstorms and deadly droughts a common occurrence.

The Shield returns--but what happens when she's not sure who the enemy is? A modern action and conspiracy thriller by bestselling novelists Adam Christopher and Chuck Wendig featuring the dynamic artwork of David Williams, The Shield: Daughter Of The Revolution gives readers a topical, relevant and jarring new take on the classic hero.
