So Many People. So Much Power. So Little Time.
"This book reminded me a lot of Marcus Sakey and his Brilliance series, which I also loved."
-- DontPushMe
Not a cartoon-style novel about superheroes. This is a serious exploration of the consequences of a world populated by superpowered people, along the lines of Marcus Sakey's BRILLIANCE (a series I greatly admire - though I wrote SW before reading his series).
The alien Object gave humanity the gift of superpowers, but will it be enough to defeat a vastly more advanced alien civilization that has the human race marked for extinction?
The alien nanovirus delivered by the Object spreads through the populations of Earth bestowing a cornucopia of superpowers – strength, flight, teleportation, telepathy, telekinetics, even clairvoyance – in varying degrees and kind to each individual. But while the basic fabric of people's bodies is vastly strengthened the fabric of society is threatened by newly super-powerful beings who challenge the traditional rules of society.
Jamie Shepherd is dying of pancreatic cancer and about to lose her home to bank repossession when a black, cylindrical object crashes on her property. From that moment everything in her world changes.
A 171,000-word epic novel of death, loss, and rebirth that transports the reader from the chaos of a collapsing society to the gates of a virtual heaven and the brink of an interstellar war.

Super World eBook Lawrence Ambrose Reviews
This is a great read and well worth your time. It's a developing story they never quits. Take the challenge
I love superhero novels -- but only if they are well-written. This one definitely is! It is also well-edited. The characters are great, the story is great and incredibly imaginative. Looking forward to Book 2.
I liked this story a lot. It's an exciting story with good characters and an unusual premise though there are a lot of superhero stories out there, I don't know of any where the entire population of the planet begins to acquire superpowers... that changes things just a bit from the usual superhero narrative. There's a fascinating twist when we discover why this has happened - read it and see.
I had a couple of reservations I felt that things could have been tightened up somewhat in the first half or so (though the pace picks up nicely in the second half). And (not to give away too much) there is a big confrontation between the two factions that set the story in motion, but after a big buildup, it seemed to me that there could have been more to it. But despite those reservations, I enjoyed the story immensely. Highly recommended!
I can't say enough good things about this book. First, it is deliciously long! Second, it's a complicated story with a lot of moving parts but it doesn't hurt your brain to read! I didn't have to flick back through pages to work out what was happening - not even once! This is the 4th or 5th book I've read by this author and I read them partly for the interesting stories, but also for the endings, which always have me thinking about them for days afterward. I can't say that about a lot of authors. There are diverse characters that don't all blend into one and I find myself staying up all night to find out what happens next. This book reminded me a lot of Marcus Sakey and his Brilliance series, which I also loved. And now that I'm here to leave my review, I see there's a second book! Dammit - I won't be getting any work done this week!
SUPER WORLD is something like a comic book but written as a novel. Certainly the tropes of "super powers" including superstrength, flight, telekinesis, telepathy and so on are all attributes of one or more of my (our) favorite comic book heroes from Superman to the Fantastic Four's Sue Richards (nee the Invisible Girl). In Ambrose's novel, Jamie Shepard is dying of pancreatic cancer and about to lose her farm since she hasn't been able to work and pay the bills when a strange capsule shaped object falls from the sky onto her land. No markings or anything to indicate what it is. All Jaime can tell is that it is very heavy and made of some scratch-proof material of unknown origin. Shortly after encountering the object, which she shows to her father, she comes down with a cold. So does her dad. Pretty soon her father is feeling much better and starting to play basketball with skill as a 47 year old guy that he never had as a kid. On Jaime's next visit to her doctor, she is astounded to learn that her cancer has vanished entirely. And she realizes that she is feeling pretty good herself. A couple of local kids are next to be "infected", and pretty soon there are 4 superpowers individuals, each with different powers, but all highly contagious.
So begins SUPER WORLD, the 3rd or 4th book by Lawrence Ambrose that I have read so far. It rapidly evolves into an interesting science fiction scenario involving a team of ordinary superheroes led by Jamie who is the most powerful of all who fight crime (sort of), big government, an aliens plot, space travel, parallel worlds and more. Like my favorite comic books of old (of which I was constantly reminded), it was all rip-roaring fun.
Ambrose writes with a light touch. economy of words and steady pacing There's no "purple prose" or over-the-top dialogue or ridiculous characters. Just regular folks, good and bad, who can suddenly read minds or fly, taking care of business here while some of them try to save the earth from an alien threat. Great fun and and an easy read. Written for adults but totally suitable for a YA audience as well.
Recommended.
