Bookroo's summary

After defeating a super villain, Roz, Abby, Lance, and Thunder expect normalcy. But when the U.S. falls under martial law and a mysterious Chancellor rises, their world is unrecognizable. Central Park is replaced by a towering fortress, and citizens are mere drones. This young band of heroes must confront the Chancellor's grip on reality. Can they reverse the changes and reclaim their world, or are they trapped in this altered reality forever? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking in this thrilling battle for the future.

From the publisher

They’d done it. Not only had Roz, Abby, Lance, and Thunder survived their first battle with a super villain, they’d defeated him. Krodin was dead, and they had saved the world. Now everything could go back to normal-good old, boring normal. School. Parents. Friends. But three weeks later, the world suddenly changes. The United States is under martial law, the people are little more than drones, and where Central Park should be there now stands a massive glass-and-steel building, home to the all-powerful Chancellor. In Michael Carroll’s follow-up to the acclaimed Super Human, the world has been remade in the Chancellor’s image, and it’s about to get much much worse. Only this young band of heroes has a chance of stopping him, but can they return the world to what it was, or will they be stranded in this alternate world forever?
