The Infected Series

In the mid-nineteen-sixties some individuals began to demonstrate fantastic physical and mental abilities. Unfortunately, those gifted were also cursed with mental and emotional difficulties that were often crippling. This series follows the IPB, the Infected Protection Bureau, as their operatives attempt to manage living in a world that both hates and needs them.

Because sometimes you have to be the one to make a difference. Brian Yi knew what it meant when he showed up with super-powers one day. He was Infected. Doomed to be hated and reviled for simply existing. A monster. But Brian is special, a rare Infected person willing to fight for those that can't, not uncontrolled or insane. In fact, thanks to his power of taking the place of those about to die and the bizarre overriding sense of self-sacrifice he suddenly develops, he doesn't really get a choice in the matter. Now he has to either fight for the IPB - a government organization designed to contain the Infected threat - or end up lobotomized, living the rest of his days in a psych ward. In the end though, he knows there's only one real option: save all he can. Even if it kills him. Because the world is about to change, and the only thing standing between the lives of millions and certain death, is one man with the unlikely power to take a victim's place, when there is no other hope left.

What do you do when you've lost everything? When every single thing you've ever had has been stripped away, and you find yourself in a cold, dank cell, just waiting to die? Denis Tompkins has lived in that place for far longer than anyone around him realizes. Only now, thanks to his worse enemy, he's getting a second chance. Crippled by uncontrollable greed, a tortuously abusive past, and the mistaken belief that being a jerk will earn him respect, he hasn't done so well in life, which has led him to... make a few mistakes.

The things you touch, you own. And some people can touch a whole lot even when others are watching. Three years ago Penny Cooper changed. She became one of the Infected, given both great power and a crippling emotional disability that has controlled her life, like tens of thousands of others. Her ability of profound invisibility has isolated her from the world, leaving her virtually stranded, like a castaway on a desert island, even while she's near others constantly. It's been both a curse, and a blessing, since her crippling shyness makes it nearly impossible for her to deal with people for any length of time. Now though, things are shifting rapidly in her life. Thanks to some new technology, and a few new skills, Penny is learning to come out of her shell, which is a thing that will shake her world on a level that no one expects. Because Penny Cooper isn't everyone's little wall flower at all... and never was. She's someone far more deadly, and possibly evil, than anyone has ever imagined her to be. And now it's her turn to be seen.

Sometimes greatness comes from a very unexpected place... Inside yourself. Tobin Peterson is the hottest new singing sensation in the U.S. He's talented, bright, and Infected in a world where that's the worst thing anyone could possibly be. Worse than that, his appearance marks him as different, for everyone to see instantly. It doesn't matter that he's a superhero, on top of the radio charts, or a government agent. Not to the bigots. Or to the enemies of the Infected Protection Bureau. No, they just want him to go away. Maybe. It's so hard for anyone to tell what they want, that any step he takes to protect himself and his new family might be exactly what an evil mastermind wants him to do. In the end there might not be any way for him to do the correct thing at all. The only thing he knows for sure is that, in America, it ain't easy being green.

Now Bridget must work to protect her loved ones, and a world that hates her, against a threat so great that if she fails, humanity itself might just stop existing. Can she do it? More to the point, can anyone? It doesn't look likely, not even for the strongest girl in the world. She has to try though, because no matter how bad things get for everyone else, in the end it will be her that pays for it. Forever.

The stunning conclusion to the incredible story of Proxy! Brian Yi has lived his whole life for other people. First his parents, who treated him as a trophy to impress their friends, and later his bosses at the factory. Right up until the day he became something much more than he'd ever dreamed of. A monster. A hero. Or if the nightly news can be trusted something that combines a little of both. Infected, with powers and liabilities that no one else in the entire world has ever had. The ability to travel to the location of a person about to die, and take their place... A hero, except that things aren't totally as they seem, and his greatest enemy in the whole world has had far more control over creating Proxy, the superhero, than anyone ever would have guessed. Now he must face the most painful of truths. The world is in the balance, and if he can't find a way to beat a person from another world that doesn't play by any rules other than her own, the fate of all humanity is sealed. For all time.
