Jake & Jacob

Jacob Reed was on top of the world. Light heavyweight champion of the IMMA fighting league, Jacob was wealthy, famous, and generally considered the best in the world at what he did best. Envied by thousands of men, desired by even more women, Jacob's life seemed a school boy fantasy come to life. The fact that he hated himself was not terribly important. When everything changed- when the old world shifted through other universes and became new- Jacob rose from the ashes something different. But then again, so did almost everyone and everything else. Amid a fresh landscape of rubble and violence, some of the remaining humans found themselves gifted with extraordinary powers. 'Meshed' they were called- when they weren't being called freaks- and they were feared as much as they were admired. After several years of relative peace in this post-apocolyptic new world, Jacob's life is turned upside down again. Following the brutal murder of his wife and son, Jacob is imprisoned in the slave camp of 'new world' tycoon Alphonse Kane- a man who covets Jacob's prowess in the fighting game. And Kane covets something even more. An unholy power. Something he believes Jacob can help him get. With Jacob still trying to understand his own power, a strength and speed that mysteriously appeared in him when the new world was born, Kane puts Jacob squarely in the sights of the insanely powerful and basely evil Wallace Compton- reigning heavyweight champion of the new world. But robbed of all that mattered to him, Jacob doesn't care enough about his own life to fight for the wealthy man. The only question is, can a dying girl and the other slaves make Jacob care enough to fight for them?
