The Dire Saga: Season One

From her tumultuous beginnings in the skid rows of Icon City, to her ongoing attempts to improve the world despite the heroes' best efforts, this is the story of Doctor Dire. Forced into villainy by a world that can't cope with her, Dire battles the worst of the worst, doing what the heroes cannot. Her power is her genius, and her unwavering determination to protect those she calls her friends. And several hundred pounds worth of military-grade power armor don't hurt either, y'know? Though by no means finished, her saga will uncover the dark secrets of the Teslaverse— a universe where Nikola Tesla not only got funding, but managed to shatter the fundament and cause an ever-expanding outbreak of superpowers from the dawn of the twentieth century to present day and beyond. Dire lives in the shadow of his flawed legacy, as do the rest of the heroes, villains, supernatural creatures, and ordinary people who are just trying to get from one day to the next. Threats arise everywhere, from brutal gangers and sinister techno-terrorists in Dire:Born, to shadowy corporate intrigues and mad biologists in Dire:Seed, to the very might of the Third Reich in Dire:Time. The challenge is great, but she is Dire! And they shall tremble as she shows them, shows them all! This omnibus collects the first three books of the Dire Saga, namely Born, Seed, and Time.
