Produktbeschreibung
After saving the world from a preliminary invasion by an extraterrestrial force of reptilian creatures, the five super powered humans who the world now recognizes as the Upholders are free to focus their attention upon more terrestrial matters. Unbeknownst to them, a secret black operation program has been launched in response to the alien invasion whereby a group of criminals have volunteered to be experimented upon to receive augmented powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary human beings. Unfortunately, the head of this project is a xenophobic fanatic who believes that because three of the five Upholders are African American, that they must also be aliens themselves. His xenophobic fears cause him to force these genetically altered criminals to kill the Upholders and cleanse the world of the vile alien infiltration he believes has befallen us. The Upholders are therefore compelled to stop these men in order to Deliver Us From Evil!
Autorenporträt
Robert A. Coplin was born and raised in New York City. He grew up in Harlem and his affinity for drawing compelled him to attended the High School of Art & Design, where he studied Illustration and Cartooning. During his High School years, he developed two great loves, comic book illustration and the martial arts. Due in part to Bruce Lee's portrayal of Kato in the old Green Hornet television show, he was inspired to study Shotokan Karate for the next twenty-two years. The serenity that he learned from this training helped nurture a growing passion he had for writing, which he dabbled in for many years. Graduating from Art & Design, he spent a few years working at several odd jobs before beginning a thirty-two-year career at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. He moonlighted as the Executive Art Director for a Long Island newspaper, The Community Reporter, where he was the creator and artist of a comic strip called Captain Mentor, an African American super-hero who helped to educate young people. He graduated Cum Laude from Monroe College, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration while working full time and raising a family. Having fulfilled a lifetime dream, he has combined his two great loves of illustration and writing with the completion of his second novel, "THE UPHOLDERS: DELIVER US FROM EVIL!".
