The exile

San Sebastian, 1954: Comandante Guzmán, Franco's one-time favourite secret policeman is out of favour and exiled to the Basque country. Guzmán was last here during the war, heading a platoon of bloodthirsty irregulars. He'd rather forget that. But, up in the hills, he'll find he hasn't been forgotten at all. Madrid, 2010: Forensic Investigator Ana María Galindez has been sent to the Basque country, where three skeletons have been found in a sealed cellar. In the debris surrounding them she finds a scimitar, stamped with a name: Capitán Leopoldo Guzmán. Guzmán's name is the key to unlocking Spain's darkest secrets. But, as Galindez will discover, Guzmán's name is also a death sentence.

The Exile

You can't escape the past. He was the cold steel behind Franco's regime. The fear behind Franco's power. 57 years ago, Comandante Leopoldo Guzmán disappeared without a trace. They know what he did, but they don't know where he's gone. Madrid, winter 1953: the snow lies thick on the ground and Comandante Guzmán of the Brigada Especial is preparing a dawn raid. His job is to hunt down opponents of Franco's regime and destroy them. Feared by all in Franco's Spain, Guzmán takes what he wants: food, drink, women. That is about to change. Guzmán is going to find himself on the wrong side of Franco, and on the wrong side of history. It's not the first time Guzmán has been on the wrong side. But there's no one left alive who knows about that... until he gets a message from a dead man... Madrid, 2009: Ana María Galindez is a forensic scientist investigating a mass grave from the Franco era. Now she is hunting for the hidden ledger of secret policeman Leopoldo Guzmán – a man who disappeared without trace in 1953. But there are those who would rather the secrets of Guzmán's ledger stay buried. Galindez' pursuit of the past has revealed a battle for the present...

Super powered fiction has existed in one form or another for a century. But for almost as long as adult heroes have used powers to fight evil, younger heroes have followed in their footsteps. They may be young sidekicks to the bigger star, members of larger teams or heroes that stand all alone against the forces of injustice. Metahuman Press celebrates the history of the teenage hero with a new anthology dedicated to the adventures of such young men and women. Six authors introduce their own characters that may very well be the new teen heroes of the 21st century. Introducing: Caine Dorr's Midnight Talon and Raven Star!
