U.S. Marine Daniel Hayes returns from the Middle East in a wheelchair. The only survivor of his team, he's haunted by more than his physical scars.
In Africa, Dr. Christian Chase's hands are now useless. Blinded in a rebel ambush, she replays the life she couldn't save as if torturing herself with endless flashbacks could change the past.
In Ukraine, kickboxer Zoya Zynchenko wakes in a cold hospital bed. Her family gone, her legs paralyzed, a missile strike leaving her a forgotten victim of war.
And bounty hunter Max "Jaxx" Jaquez hides his crippling pain behind false bravado.
Enter Norman Blackwell, a brilliant but reclusive biotech engineer. His cutting-edge treatment transforms these broken heroes into something extraordinary. Hayes gains superhuman strength. Chase's gaze becomes deadly. Zoya moves with lightning reflexes. Jaxx's intellect explodes into genius.
But there's a cost: These powers last for only sixty seconds at a time, then pain and incapacitation hits.
Together, they become the Minute-Men, a team of wounded warriors turned reluctant heroes. To succeed, they must master their fleeting powers, trust each other, and find strength in their shared scars.
