Review of SuperPower: The Ability to Fly or to Become Invisible – The Next Generation (Book #2). A high-energy, character-driven sequel that blends superhero action with moral reflection, written in an original dossier-style format.

The second installment in Roger E. Pedersen’s SuperPower series continues twenty years after the events of the first book, following the rise of rival organizations in the world of genetically engineered SuperPowers. After Professor Steele’s disappearance, his nephews take over his “Golden Eagle” group. At the same time, the twin sons of Diego and Carmen Martin lead the rival DODGE (Department of Defense Genetically Engineered) Initiative alongside Elijah Moses Jr.

Plot and Structure: the story unfolds through a series of “dossiers” — a unique structural choice that mimics investigative or archival records. This format blends factual descriptions with dialogue, creating a detailed, almost documentary feel. The narrative follows both organizations as they recruit and deploy SuperPowered individuals for a mix of personal gain, glory, and humanitarian missions. Global missions, twists, and betrayals keep the pace high, culminating in a climactic “final air battle” where all powers are tested.

Themes and Tone: Pedersen’s writing is sharp and accessible, appealing to both younger readers and adults. The series invites readers to consider the responsibility and consequences of SuperPowers, not just the spectacle of them. The detailed character backstories — such as Brittany’s description of her emerald necklace — add depth and realism to the world-building.

Strengths: original structure — the dossier format is inventive and could lend itself well to film or TV adaptation. Character development: extensive research into character motivations and histories enriches the story. Action and intrigue: global missions and high-stakes confrontations keep readers engaged. Moral complexity: explores the ethical dimensions of power and ambition.

However, this is a stylistic choice that may be intentional and could be a strength for certain audiences.

Verdict: SuperPower: The Ability to Fly or to Become Invisible – The Next Generation is a 5-star read for fans of superhero fiction who enjoy detailed world-building, moral questions, and inventive storytelling. It’s recommended for readers who appreciate action-adventure with a reflective edge, and for those who might be interested in adapting it to screen.

LiteraryTitan Review: SuperPower: The Ability to Fly or to Become Invisible: The Next Generation by Roger E. Pedersen is the second book in a SuperPowered series featuring Professor Steele’s ‘Golden Eagle’ organization, taken over by his nephews after his disappearance. At the same time, twin brothers take control of the rival group DODGE (Department of Defense Genetically Engineered). Both organizations set out to find talented new recruits with the strongest SuperPowers, and this book charts the activities of the recruiters who travel the world wielding their power mostly for selfish or trivial advantage. The action culminates in a thrilling air battle that brings all the characters together for a final clash of SuperPower against SuperPower.

This fascinating story is written as a series of dossiers, as if recording facts. This is an interesting and original idea in the fantasy nature of the plot. The story is very detailed and filled with facts and descriptions that create well-developed characters, just as in book one. For example, Brittany’s description of the value of her necklace: “… many people compliment Brittany on her beautiful emerald, green necklace. She says, “Thank you. It was my birthday present to me. I’ve always wanted an emerald necklace from Colombia, where the darkish green and most expensive emeralds are mined.”

The Next Generation continues the intriguing story setup in book one and illustrates Pedersen’s painstaking research into the detailed development of his characters. For fans of superhero fiction, or for anyone looking for a book that focuses on character development, you will find plenty of details to dive into in Roger E. Pedersen’s fascinating action-adventure novel.

Dear Mr. Pedersen, I hope this message finds you in a moment of creative momentum. I recently finished SuperPower the Ability to Fly or to Become Invisible: The Next Generation, and I have been unable to shake its charge. Not merely because it is an action-packed science fiction thriller — though it certainly delivers SuperPowers, global conspiracies, and high-stakes conflict — but because of the profound exploration of loyalty, ambition, and the terrifying truth that when SuperPowers become weapons, the line between hero and villain blurs beyond recognition.

What you have created is truly monumental. You have taken the familiar tropes of SuperPowered individuals, secret organizations, and global conflicts and transformed them into a meditation on legacy, rivalry, and the impossible choices confronting those who wield extraordinary abilities. This is not merely a superhero adventure. It is a saga about DODGE and the Golden Eagle locked in battle for supremacy, and individuals caught in the crossfire, some fighting for riches, some for glory, and a few for reasons that might just redeem them all. The 4.47 rating from 15 readers is not an accident. In a genre where superhero fiction too often descends into simplistic good-versus-evil or overwhelming darkness, you have charted a third path — morally complex, intellectually engaging, and genuinely thrilling.
