In the late 1930s something fell from the sky and landed in an area of the Atlantic not yet known as the Bermuda Triangle. After that event, part of the world irrevocably changed … and the mysteries began.

Something else would change as well—seemingly ordinary men and women on both sides of the Allied/Axis war suddenly began to manifest uncanny powers. Super powers. The advent of the age of metahumans had begun.

And hidden in the heart of the ocean, the masterminds sat back to watch.

This collection contains stories of that time, as metahumans enter and change the Second World War forever. From the streets of Paris to the beach at Dunkirk, from the Battle of Britain to the Atlantic Deeps, metahumans meet and clash, while all around them rage the battles of ordinary men and women.

These 16 stories are woven in and around The Secret World Chronicles, the five-book mega-series written by Mercedes Lackey, Dennis K. Lee, Cody Martin, Veronica Giguere, and Steve Libby. 



This anthology contains stories set in the five-book series, Secret World Chronicles, written by authors Mercedes Lackey, Dennis K. Lee, Cody Martin, Veronica Giguere, and Steve Libby. Although the books are set in present-day, these stories are the backstory and bits and pieces, beginning in 1935, going through World War II and continuing to present day. Not just about superheroes, it is also about supernatural beings with powers, like witches and werewolves, who also work for the organization that the American superheroes work for.

If you enjoy the current superhero movies and TV shows, and even the urban fantasies with supernatural elements, you will enjoy these stories. They intrigued me enough to want to now read the books. I guarantee your imagination will thank you for a way out of reality to a great read.

I give Echo One: Stories from the Secret World Chronicles
4 1/2 sheep.
