Isaac Strong, Kelly Protean, Hector Hive and Jason Grim have all led very different lives. However, they each have two things in common, super powers and their recent admittance to the Citadel program. As members of the Citadel’s newest class of recruits, they will be taught to utilize their powers, and their bodies, to their utter limits. The Citadel’s mission is simple: Halt the world’s slow slide into ruin. They each have a part to play, but will it be enough?

Great book! I hope you continue your writing, I think you have a gift for not only storytelling, but also a great imagination. I found your universe dark, gritty, and one full of possibilities. I don’t want to drop a spoiler on here, but I think I may know your arch-type. For everyone’s safety, I will hide this knowledge, somewhere deep.

About 2-3 months ago, I happened down the rabbithole of superhero web-serials and kindle novels. I came into it via Drew Hayes’ work. Since then I’ve read a lot of super hero fiction. A lot. I consume reading material in mass quantities. And there is a lot of dreck out there. This story is in my top 3. Your story keeps drawing me back. I read it as a Kindle book first – then went online to read the rest. While I greatly enjoy the first book, to a certain extent it was similar to other stories. A Hogwarts for Heroes, as it were. But it was all those little bits and pieces that spoke of the world beyond the training program that pulled me in. And now that you’re exploring that world more fully . . . I’m just amazed. Such a wonderfully realized world. Please keep writing. When you can, as much as you can. I know this is a labor of love for you – just wanted to know that it is immensely appreciated and enjoyed.

Dear Unillustrated,
I adored the story. This world was a fantastic place in which to lose myself. The powers were great to learn about and “awesome” to see in action. I just have one problem, I can’t figure out where to pick up the story on this site after reading Training in Necessity. Can you help a reader out?

Found this through tvtropes, and I am so very glad I did. I went straight to the first ebook after a couple of your first entries, and I’ve only gotten through chapter 9 so far, but I’ve experienced more delight in each chapter than I’ve gotten from most entire books in the genre. Like Mr. Donohue before me, I’ve read mass quantities of supers fiction, and like him, this story, your world, has catapulted into my top three. And like the Wearing the Cape and Wild Cards worlds, you can be confident that I’ll buy every last story you write in this world.
Looks like I found this just as a long hiatus is scheduled to end, lucky as hell for me, so here’s to many more chapters and stories by the time I finish the first two books!
