Scott Nichols isn’t a hero—he’s a survivor. At thirty-one, he’s a veteran trying to claw his way back to a normal life when a violent encounter triggers something impossible inside him. Scott can siphon life-energy from any living being and convert it into raw strength, speed, healing, and more. But every use comes at a price. The power changes him—physically, mentally, dangerously. His awakening puts him on the radar of G.O.D.S. (Global Operations for Detainment and Security), a secretive organization tasked with controlling metahuman activity across the country. Their mission isn’t protection. It’s capture. Containment. Extraction. Metahumans are assets—and G.O.D.S. wants Scott for what he can do. To bring him in, they deploy their elite superhuman operatives: the Ascendants, enhanced soldiers created through brutal conditioning and experimental augmentation. Each one carries a devastating ability—and absolute loyalty. Among them stands Zeus, the most relentless and powerful of G.O.D.S.’ living weapons. Now hunted, Scott is forced into a life he never chose. With the help of Hartley—a former G.O.D.S. physicist who escaped after uncovering the truth about their experiments—and Relic, a hardened ex-Ascendant prototype whose Kinetic Memory ability makes her one of the few who understands how G.O.D.S. hunts its targets, Scott begins to uncover the truth behind the Ascendant Program and the real purpose of the detainments. G.O.D.S. isn’t just containing metahumans. They’re harvesting their abilities for something far more dangerous. As Scott’s powers grow, so does the fear that using them may turn him into the very kind of weapon G.O.D.S. wants to control. Every fight drains him. Every choice threatens his humanity. And every step pulls him deeper into a conflict where survival means confronting the monster he could become. Siphon: Hero of None is Volume 1 of the Siphon series—a gritty, emotional superhuman thriller filled with high-octane action, grounded military tension, and a protagonist grappling with the cost of power in a world that wants to exploit it. Scott Nichols isn’t trying to save anyone. He’s just trying to stay human long enough to survive. But his story is only beginning.
