The highly anticipated sequel to Dreadnought, featuring “the most
exciting new superheroes in decades.” (Kirkus, starred review)
Only nine months after her debut as the superhero Dreadnought,
Danny Tozer is already a scarred veteran. Protecting a city the
size of New Port is a team-sized job and she’s doing it alone.
Between her newfound celebrity and her demanding cape duties,
Dreadnought is stretched thin, and it’s only going to get worse.
When she crosses a newly discovered billionaire supervillain,
Dreadnought comes under attack from all quarters. From her troubled
family life to her disintegrating friendship with Calamity,
there’s no lever too cruel for this villain to use against her.
She might be hard to kill, but there's more than one way to destroy
a hero. Before the war is over, Dreadnought will be forced to
confront parts of herself she never wanted to acknowledge. And
behind it all, an old enemy waits in the wings, ready to unleash a
plot that will scar the world forever.
An action-packed series-starter perfect for fans of The Heroine
Complex and Not Your Sidekick. "I didn't know how much I needed
this brave, thrilling book until it rocked my world. Dreadnought is
the superhero adventure we all need right now."-Charlie Jane
Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky Danny Tozer has a
problem: she just inherited the powers of Dreadnought, the world's
greatest superhero. Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died
right in front of her, Danny was trying to keep people from finding
out she's transgender. But before he expired, Dreadnought passed
his mantle to her, and those secondhand superpowers transformed
Danny's body into what she's always thought it should be. Now
there's no hiding that she's a girl. It should be the happiest time
of her life, but Danny's first weeks finally living in a body that
fits her are more difficult and complicated than she could have
imagined. Between her father's dangerous obsession with "curing"
her girlhood, her best friend suddenly acting like he's entitled to
date her, and her fellow superheroes arguing over her place in
their ranks, Danny feels like she's in over her head. She doesn't
have time to adjust. Dreadnought's murderer-a cyborg named
Utopia-still haunts the streets of New Port City, threatening
destruction. If Danny can't sort through the confusion of coming
out, master her powers, and stop Utopia in time, humanity faces
extinction.
