Based on the series HEROES created by Tim Kring.
This is the first of this type of book that I've read, and since I don't know any of the back story, probably I missed a bunch of stuff. Even so, it was a pretty good coming-of-age tale.
From back cover: Hiro Nakamura possesses the remarkable power to control time. And like his uniquely blessed comrades, hes on a mission for the good of humankind. But another challenge awaits him: saving the love of his life from an unspeakable death. Charlene Charlie Andrews is the big-hearted, small-town beauty whose sunny smile and sweet soul knocked the shy Hiro head over heels. But when Charlies young life is snuffed out by a vicious serial killer, their budding romance is brutally cut short. Or is it?
Thanks to his astounding newfound skill, Hiro has the means to do what no tragedy-stricken lover in history ever couldturn back time. But what possible consequences might changing the past visit upon the future? How could saving one cherished life affect millions of others? And what ultimate choice will Hiro make when the power of fate rests in his hands?
