Dr Rick Tower is a mild-mannered English professor easing into middle-age at a New England college. Even his vices are unremarkable. But it wasn’t always like this. Not until they changed his name, altered his looks and told him: ‘pretend you were never different’.
Because, decades earlier after a very bad day at high school, he was committed to a secret government facility with three other kids, Cat, Jack and Stephanie, each special in their own way. Tested, tutored and trained, this extraordinary quartet were then told to save the world.
It was the best thing that ever happened to them. Until it became the worst.
Now, twenty years later, a mysterious disappearance means Tower must reunite with his former comrades. But while great power come might come with great responsibility, there’s little of that on display from any of them.
Combining compelling storytelling and fierce imagination with a rich cast of characters, Fight Me is a page-turning and distinctive thriller, a unique tale of good, evil and one man trying to do the right thing. Against impossible odds …
