I just finish reading Those who walk in darkness by John Ridley. It’s a very readable book, though I didn’t care for the story.

The story takes place in an alternate world were superheroes & super-villains exits. San Francisco has been destroyed by a villain and now all super powered people are hunted by special units of the police. The central character is a member of one of the special units.

I mention it here for those who read comic books might find it interesting.
