Hey all!
So my current project I AM THE JACKAL is about a teenager living in a violent, crime-ridden city. When his father, a police officer, is poisoned and nearly killed, Seth decides to figure out who did it so that he can find the suspect and stop them before them come back to finish the job. Early on, he finds a super serum and uses it to pretend to be a super in the city's infamous Hero Core, which fights the street gangs and also took his father's case--meaning they're the ones who have the best lead as to who this suspect really is.
Along the way, he deals with a lot of other threats, such as the scientist who first created the serum and an ex-super who is out for revenge. Seth also starts to find out that the Hero Core is not really all that different from the vicious gangs they try to fight.
I'm wary of classing this "Superhero" or "Action" because the action-y scenes take up minimal space in the book, and I don't want people to think this is just a comic book regurgitated into a novel. But I'm not really sure where this novel goes. Any help?
