The Fragile Light is a book about superheroes who, because of a terrorist attack 15 years earlier, now have to live in a sort of totalitarian apartheid-type police state. The book focuses on Gayle, aka "Gal Friday", and her misfit team the Friday Knights as they try and gain legitimacy as "real heroes" in a world that wants to treat them as animals. The plot starts out as a detective story but soon becomes a sort of international conspiracy. Fun read. First book in a trilogy, but the author, who self-published is apparently relying on "internet buzz" to spread before he'll try and publish the rest of them.
