About This Book
Amateur bodybuilder Marcos Machado is transformed by an accident in a science lab into an indestructible superhero. However, Marcos' invulnerability suffers unexpected drawbacks: horrible neuropathy, sensory deprivation, and sex with him could kill any woman. Marcos misses his former life, and yearns to find a cure. The Brazilian military is delighted by his meta-human form, planning to use Marcos for covert operations. Unwilling to cause the deaths of millions, Marcos fights to escape them. Driven by guilt, Dr. Fernanda Figueiredo, the only surviving scientist of the failed experiment, seeks to restore Marcos, but the military demands that she repair the damaged machine that sparked the accident, so that Brazil can create an army of indestructible soldiers. On the run with Dr. Fernanda, Marcos uses his immense strength to protect her, and strong feelings grow. Then Dr. Fernanda is captured, and without her, and no hope of restoration, Marcos falls into a deep suicidal depression. Yet, how can an invulnerable man commit suicide? Enlisted into an American team of meta-humans, Marcos struggles to fit in, despite unbearable depression. Then an ancient enemy of Mankind is reawakened, and the fate of the world balances in the hands of a man who prefers suicide to life without the woman he loves.
