Accidental Superheros (en Inglés) - Brian Wood

When an alien spacecraft crashes near a university, two ordinary student-athletes, Bill and Greg, are caught in the chaos of a freak accident. They survive, but survival comes at a cost. Something from the wreckage has changed them, sharpening their minds, accelerating their recovery, and making them targets in a global struggle of power, surveillance, and secrets.

Determined to use their abilities for good, they begin developing world-changing technologies: clean energy systems, self-sustaining infrastructure, and tools designed to empower the forgotten corners of the world. But as their influence grows, so does the threat from a rogue government faction intent on seizing control of their work.

By their side is Maria, a gifted scientist who joined the mission early on. Fiercely intelligent and cautious, she finds herself drawn to Greg-but afraid of what his transformation means for their future. Her journey becomes one of wrestling with fear, trust, and the kind of love that demands vulnerability.

Sophie, fiercely focused on her academic future, finds herself torn. Bill's wit, kindness, and strength draw her in. However, she worries that a relationship with him could derail her carefully laid plans and pull her away from everything she's been working toward. So, she holds back-trying to protect her future, even as her heart wavers. Meanwhile, Bill's connection with his striking and sharp-witted co-worker Claudia begins to deepen.

At its core, this story tackles not just alien nanotech and global conspiracies-but the deeper questions of faith, forgiveness, redemption, and what love really looks like when it's messy, sacrificial, and undeserved.

Brian and his wife, Lorena, have spent over two decades living and serving overseas. Brian writes stories that weave faith, science, and second chances into page-turning adventures rooting in hope and healing.
