"YOU MAY CALL ME THE PROPHET." His name is Peter Salerno, a Catholic priest. He can read the heart....and control it. A very useful thing to have, when more and more people are suddenly beginning to gain superpowers, in an age of increasing hostility and, in secret, government assassination. He is not the only one to have the idea of collecting superheros. His old colleague, Jude Chester, whose family has been massacred by federal agents, has darker thoughts than merely establishing a secret refuge. He wants war. He wants blood. And only the Prophet can restrain him.
