No sanctuary, no trust, no turning back
Vanguard survived an attack that leveled the White House, a collapsed government contract, and the fall of a sanctuary they never should have gotten caught in the middle of. Now they've struck an uneasy alliance with Cerberus, the very agency built to police people like them?and the world isn't sure whether to call that progress or a countdown to disaster.
Public opinion is turning fast. A trial meant to prove that specials deserve the same justice as anyone else is instead threatening to tear the fragile peace apart, with pundits fanning anti-special sentiment on every channel and protestors filling the streets outside the United Nations. Vanguard's newest arrangement with Cerberus was supposed to make the world safer. Instead, it's made them a target for anyone who thinks specials have gotten too much power?or not nearly enough.
One of those people has been both enemy and ally. Broken by everything he's lost, the man once known as the Exemplar has resurfaced?and he's done being reasonable. He's not interested in another sanctuary. He wants vengeance, and he's willing to burn down anyone who stands between him and the people he blames for taking everything. For a team that once found common ground with him, stopping him means confronting exactly how far he's willing to go, and how much of the man they knew is left underneath the rage.
And that may be the least of Vanguard's problems. The scout they've been holding prisoner was never going to stay quiet forever, and the empire she serves doesn't send warnings before it sends warships. When the Kotharians finally make their move, Earth's fledgling alliance of heroes and soldiers will find out just how unprepared they are for a war on a galactic scale?and just how much they need each other to survive it.
With new and old threats, a public that's losing faith, and an invasion decades in the making, Vanguard is about to be tested in ways it never has before. Vanguard: Heroes Resilient asks what's left of a team?and the people who depend on it?when every front is on fire at once.
Fans of The Umbrella Academy, Invincible, and superhero sagas that treat their heroes like people first and powers second will find a gripping, high-stakes chapter in Percival Constantine's Vanguard saga!
