He fell asleep a man. He woke up something else. Dr. Christopher Mac had it all — a thriving medical career, a loving family, and a peaceful life. Until the night a mysterious substance from beyond the stars crash-landed in his backyard... and changed everything. Ten years later, he awakens from a coma to a world that no longer resembles his own. Cities have crumbled. Surveillance drones darken the skies. And a merciless alien warlord named Sovereign has enslaved humanity. But Chris didn't just survive — he changed. There's something burning inside him now. Something not quite human. With a wounded nurse named Juno by his side, a wary Resistance watching his every move, and Sovereign's army closing in, Chris must choose: hide from the chaos or become its reckoning. Haunted by his past but wielding a terrifying new power, he must answer the question that could define—or destroy—him: Is a hero born... or made? Hero is a gritty, emotionally charged sci-fi thriller packed with streetwise soul, pulse-pounding action, and unforgettable characters. Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic mysteries, reluctant heroes, and high-stakes stories that wrestle with power, purpose, and identity.
