Superhuman Books in Order

Superhuman is Evan Currie’s near-future military thriller with a science fiction twist: what happens when ordinary people, many of them veterans, suddenly come back from an alien encounter with powers they never asked for.

The series opens with Superhuman. Ex-Marine Captain Alexander Hale is trying to enjoy a weekend with old friends when a biker rally turns violent and a gang war breaks out around them. Then things get stranger, advanced machines take Hale and others, and they return changed, stronger, faster, and able to do things that should be impossible. The problem is that the “gift” doesn’t arrive cleanly. It comes with an influence that nudges its hosts toward aggression and addiction to the rush of violence.

That tension shapes the whole run. Hale and the people around him have to ask whether they’re becoming heroes, weapons, or something in between, and whether the transformations are unique accidents or the opening move in a much larger plan. Currie treats the powers like a tactical problem, useful in a fight, but dangerous in a society already on edge. The team has to learn how to train, how to hide in plain sight when necessary, and how to keep their own tempers under control when the powers make anger feel effortless.

The stakes escalate quickly. In Countdown to Apocalypse, global politics turn red hot as the United States and China slide toward nuclear exchange and the first shots are fired. Hale’s team is forced to operate in a space where saving lives can also mean igniting panic, and where every move is watched by governments that would love to control the new superhumans, or use them as the next escalation.

Later books push into the messy fallout: terrorism, unrest, and the question of who is pulling strings behind the scenes. Semper Fi leans into the pressure-cooker atmosphere, while The Golden Age looks at a world that has had time to absorb the existence of powers, and the new problems that grow out of that “new normal.” Even when the fights get larger, Currie keeps returning to the same human question: what does it cost to be the person who can’t step away?

Fast, grounded, and increasingly high-stakes.

If you want a series that reads like military action colliding with a superpowered arms race, start with Superhuman and keep going in order. It’s best experienced as one rising arc, from street-level chaos to international crisis and the long shadow that follows.
