Sawyer William Vincent is the best card sharp in Hell’s Kitchen for one reason: he remembers everything. Every tell, every shuffle, and every tic is burned into his brain. But lately, his perfect recall is showing him things that shouldn’t exist—flickers of red and black armor, the weight of a hero's mask, and the silhouette of a father who doesn't know he's alive. In a world that feels like "static" on a dead channel, retired billionaire Frank Douglas is haunted by his own ghosts.

In the midst of fighting a reignited war with the deadly Nimic, Lt. Commander Johnny Rangers of the Confederation of Aligned Planets is dragged into a rescue mission by mysterious agent Koya Nyrus. With his best friend’s life at stake, he finds himself on a restricted world full of secrets that could alter the course of the war. Meanwhile, Rangers’ father, Inspector Frank Branza of the Gravity City Police Force, sets out to uncover a vast conspiracy with plans to affect the very fabric of reality.

Five years after the Tuldarian invasion nearly leveled Manhattan, things are suspiciously good for Sawyer Vincent.

But the peace is a lie—and the smoke is just beginning to spread.

My name is Sawyer William Vincent - I know, it sounds like three first names - but most people know me as the Red Raptor. Well, technically no one knows I'm the Red Raptor, he's just a bit more popular. Wow. Enough about my name. Let me start over. I’m a superhero - the legendary Black Harrier’s partner. Not sidekick. I don't care if I'm still in high school. We work together to bring down the city's most dangerous villains. When the Black Harrier gets a mysterious note, then goes missing in New York City, things are pretty much left up to me. But don’t worry...I’ve got this.

Sawyer William Vincent never asked to be the hero. After taking up the mantle of the Black Harrier, his biggest challenge was supposed to be preparing for fatherhood alongside his pregnant partner, Amy Chen. But when a sudden rift in space-time rips him out of the sky mid-flight, Sawyer is dragged across realities into a nightmare he never saw coming. Welcome to The Convergence Games.

Crimefighting is illegal, punishable by life in prison at the bottom of the ocean. It sucks. But that won't stop me from doing what I was born to do: uphold justice and stop good people from being hurt. Even if everyone I once called a friend is against me, I'm not bowing down to the Counter Vigilante Taskforce.

How do you stop an invasion force that just defeated the most powerful person on the planet? Chances are, you don’t. But the world’s greatest heroes and villains are going to team up and make their best attempt. After the Tuldarians—a race of dinosaur-like aliens—invade the Earth with overwhelming numbers of ships and soldiers, the world’s governments finally repeal the Anti-Vigilante Acts. Now, the masked crimefighters and criminals who haven’t been allowed to use their powers are being asked to fight to save humanity. And to think, I was just put in prison for just trying to be a good guy.
