Stormwatch is on a mission to recover a Seedling when they run afoul of the Mercs who are trying to capture the child for themselves. They drive the Mercs off but Battalion's friend, Windsor, is killed in the process. When he gets home, Jackson discovers that his young brother, Malcolm, is in trouble with the police for robbery. Later, at the memorial service for Windsor, the Mercs attack again and try to capture Malcolm who is a Seedling himself. Synergy activates Malcolm's latent powers for his own protection.
Publisher’s description
They are StormWatch, the world's most elite anti-terrorist super powered strike force. There's Battalion, field commander, empowered with psionics and armed with a battlesuit that gives him the firepower of his namesake. Fuji is a mountain of a man from Japan whose super human strength is only matched by his great heart. Diva is a South American beauty with alabaster skin and a scream that can literally shatter steel. Hellstrike is super-fast and can project powerful force bolts. Winter, a hero from Russia, can absorb and manipulate massive amounts of energy. And residing over them all, high above in the orbiting space station Skywatch, is the Weatherman, a cybernetically enhanced commander with eyes all over the world, ever vigilant and uncompromising when it comes to planet Earth's safety. When Battalion's younger brother gets caught in the crossfire in a battle between StormWatch and their malevolent counterparts the Mercs, the young man's life will never be the same again.
