博客來Vernon’s powers are only skin deep.
Fortunately, when you have skin like Vernon’s, whose BENT-powered epidermis can feed him, allow him to breathe underwater and shrug off bullets-among other innumerable wonders-you don’t really need to go much deeper.
But Vernon is a man on a mission, and that mission is revenge. He wants to hit the Triads, the masters of Chinese organized crime, hard enough to end their reign of terror, and his skin, no matter how powerful it makes him, simply isn’t built for speed. He can’t work fast enough; as soon as he destroys a Triad installation, they build it back up.
So he needs help. Maia’s BENT is teleportation, and that completely changes the entire ballgame. If only he can convince her to come out of retirement.
When he finds her, however, they’re both roped into an operation that promises to give them what they want most... But at a price.
Someone is going to get BENT. The only question remaining is who... And how badly.
