They thought Project Midnight was gone. They were dead wrong.It’s been a year since Drake Sinclair, AKA Phantom, the snarky, super powered vigilante, battled with the psychopath Lucius Sykes and destroyed the Project Midnight lab in Queensbury. Since then, Drake’s been dealing with the fallout of Sykes’ attacks and Project Midnight’s lingering effects on the city he loves. On top of keeping local … top of keeping local crime in check, he’s still searching for four people; four other Project Midnight test subjects just like him. When they are finally united, it seems things have taken a lucky turn, and they can all begin to put their lives back together.
Until the super soldiers appear.
Project Midnight isn’t dead. They’ve discovered a way to create a serum replicating the enhanced speed and strength of Drake and the other meta humans, and are injecting it into their own soldiers. With the production of the serum nearly complete, it won’t be long before they start shipping it out to the highest bidder.
It will take four super humans, a couple sarcastic sidekicks, and a cross-country road trip to stop Project Midnight before the serum gets into the wrong hands. But while they prepare for the coming battle, a nemesis from the past watches from the shadows, waiting to join the fight…

We Who Remain by Sean Fletcher is a great story to read. This is book number two in this great series that I have really enjoyed reading very much and can not wait to see what this author will write about next. I recommend this story to everyone who likes reading about science fantasy.

Awesome sequel!
I really liked “I Am Phantom”, but I love this sequel even more. Not only reconnecting with my favorite characters from book #1 – hi, Matt! Hello, Cody! -but also getting to know more potential (if involuntary) YA superheroes, turned out to be a lot of fun.
Sean Fletcher brings his usual sense of humor, plenty of action, a somewhat unlikely deus ex machina / mentor, some major d’oh! moments for Drake and his friends, and an ending that leaves just enough open questions for the story to – potentially – continue. (… although I don’t think there will be any more books in the series. But if there were, I’d sure read them!)
This is book two of the I Am Phantom series and continues the story of Drake and his friends as they search for the other teens who were experimented upon with the Midnight Project’s serum before they were born. A year has gone by since the tragic events at the university, where Sykes blew up the accommodation blocks and severely wounded Cody and killed hundreds of others. Cody has used his amazing brain to create his own prosthetics and continues to work with Matt to back up Phantom on his night time forays at keeping evil at bay. Along with Liz and Mel, they have formed a great team.
The summer break is almost over and they try a different way to search for the other super powered teens and come up with some footage from Chicago. The group go on a road trip to find two people who were caught using unusual powers, but soon find that Project Midnight has advanced their experiments and managed to stabilise the serum for periods of time, creating a large number of super powered soldiers, that are even stronger than Drake aka Phantom. So instead of fighting the enemy’s normal soldiers, they have a much bigger problem to face! Finding the other teens may be key to them surviving the battle to come.
The other teens, Leon, Ginger and Hannah soon link up with Drake, but find it hard to trust each other, especially as the three newest members have been homeless and doing what they need to survive on the streets, whereas Drake wants to only do good and not break the law. Add in officer Ryans, who has only just begun to tolerate Phantom’s very existence and his supposed links in government, then matters start to get very sticky. There is a sudden reappearance of an old nemesis, who will throw matters into disarray, but may actually be the glue that pushes them all together and gives them the knowledge to succeed.
The first book laid out who Phantom was and al about Project Midnight and its effect on people, whereas this book sees Drake and the others branch out in search for the others and an attempt to destroy what could be the last lab of Project Midnight. Lots of teen humour, backstabbing, betrayal, street fighting and one colossal battle to wipe out Project Midnight and their newest version of the serum, once and for all. Where the story will go after this, is unclear, but I can foresee a future in the adventures of the super powered teens. This book makes for a fast and easy read, with a load of teen angst and problems fitting in with others, battling against a fight for what is right against terrible odds. Great read and super fun as well. I can’t wait to see some more of this series in the near future. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
The idea of the project was to create superhuman. What they did was create super villains. So why is the five not villains? Could it be because they never wanted to be superhuman in the first place?
Not only was this story a great read, it raised a lot of good, thought-provoking questions.
