WHY WE LOVE IT: Claudio Sanchez and Chondra Echert have

book takes the superhero trope of “the neverending battle” and turns it into a
completely different beast.

you’ve wanted but never thought you’d see. It explores the thin line between

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: The Horse has been the arch-enemy of The
Navigator for years. But The Horse feels The Navigator's moral compass
slipping, and even a villain can’t let that happen. The Horse decides to get a
closer look into The Navigator's past that he's buried deep in his subconscious
and find out what drives a person to make the right choice, and what propels
someone to make a selfish one. Thus begins an exploration of why a young man
would take the mantle of a superhero.
