Action-packed, thought-provoking, an award winner for best metaphysical literature, and the series most often compared to Asimov's best work, The Post-Human series nearly doubles in length with this single installment.

You'll never think of the Post-Human series the same way again, you'll never think of a novel in the same way again, and you will never think of reality itself in the same way after experiencing Superhuman for yourself.
