W awakes from daydreaming about the past to fall back to square one, where we left our hero at the end of book four. But now W only has a few seconds to escape from the impossible situation fate has constructed. How will W accomplish this mission? What will the superhero attempt to find more answer to questions from a forgotten past?

This book is the cornerstone of Guinn’s story so far, where not only the relationship between the person behind the mask and the superhero who wears it is clarified, but we also discover something game-blowing about Guinn’s past. In a burning hot summer day, under a blinding sunlight, things change for W - forever? Don’t miss this story of W, and for the first time, see Guinn for what our hero really is.

Questions keep ravaging W’s mind today: What’s hiding behind a research center and its chief, a professor well-known and respected in the scientific community?

In the second entry of the W series, we remove the mask and meet Guinn McGovern, the person in the black suit, the soul of the superhero who aims at bringing New York City back to justice.

What is wrong with Guinn? A day at work and an evening therapy session with Jay help W surf through the thoughts and feelings of a superhero on forced vacation.

Something completely unexpected at the end of last episode has brought W back several years through old memories: What happened on the fatal night when W got super powers? How did Guinn McGovern fall in the superhero trap that became life as W? A radically different episode will open more questions and reveal more secrets of W’s past.

Some nights are memorable for W and are filled with successes in fighting crime; during some nights, W holds on to the daytime identity of Guinn McGovern, trying to deal with a normal social existence and the struggles of modern dating. This night, W has to wear both hats: The job as a superhero doesn’t allow any day off, even when some truths about Guinn, and about how some of the main characters of the series became who they are, could be waiting around a corner.
