Waterman, also known as Eric Atl, has won the battle against the Listeners, but at a steep cost. Eric's friends and fellow Elementals (Jack, Joseph, and Melissa) are left to clean up the city and pick up the pieces. But the story is far from over. Something is stirring from the depths of the Elko City Pool. Someone is waiting for Melissa at Devine Falls. Somebody is planning to take down the Elementals - one by one. The Great Basin of Nevada plays host to a superheroic showdown for the ages in this final, suspenseful chronicle of Waterman's origins with "more twists and turns than a corkscrew in a blender on a helicopter caught in a tornado."
