Smokescreen – the wisecracking, best bud of teen super Kid Sensation – has his first solo adventure! Unlike several of his friends, Smokescreen isn’t anything close to a household name. With a power set that most view as little more than a parlor trick, he’s nowhere near the top of the list of folks to call in an emergency. Ergo, it’s a bit of a surprise when he’s recruited by another super-powered teen, Atalanta, for a covert mission. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple operation swiftly morphs into something incredibly convoluted…and unimaginably dangerous. Although no stranger to perilous situations, Smokescreen unexpectedly ends up at the center of events with global implications – and facing a threat that even the greatest of superheroes would find daunting. As the menace grows and the danger becomes nothing less than apocalyptic in scale, it soon becomes apparent that the fate of the very planet is at stake. But can a guy historically known for a D-List superpower – the ability to make smoke – actually save the world?

The desperate fight for survival has given way to something harder: a grinding war of attrition where victory is measured in meters, and the question is no longer whether Ukraine will fall but whether the West will lose patience first.

But when Pentagon doctrine clashes with battlefield reality during the summer offensive, James must choose between the approaches that save lives and the orders that satisfy Washington.
