Agile Breakthrough

About the Book

After a doomed stunt to protest workplace bias, Lieutenant Felina Gatti found herself in a cage built to keep in high-powereds, even though she never had powers.

Or so she thought.

Upon learning of her breakthrough, the Heroes of Verity offered her two choices: become a restricted hero for only their cause or become a polarizing criminal.

Neither choice was a fair deal.

With two of the guild’s most powerful superheroes guarding her, Felina must rely on past agile teachings to learn her new abilities and find her own path.

Felina became the very thing she fought against.

Will she work for the heroes or work behind bars?

Key Themes

• Agile Methodology under Pressure: Using agile learning, sprint-like adaptability, and iterative improvement to master newly discovered superpowers.
• Autonomy vs. Control: Choosing between two unfair offers: serving as a restricted pawn of high-powered superheroes or being branded a criminal.
• The Irony of Power: Grappling with becoming the very thing (a superpowered being) Felina had spent her life protesting against.

Excerpt:

A white light filled Felina’s vision before her eyes adjusted. She looked around, taking in her surroundings, which were made of more white stuff. Walls, in fact, of a very large room. She took a couple of sniffs and picked up notes of fresh mint. Felina tried to move, then realized that thick pieces of cloth kept her arms restrained to the metal frame of the bed. As for the bed itself, it was like one from a hospital, with integrated health monitors... She jerked and yanked her right arm, followed by the left, ripping apart the pieces of cloth. Did they even have security in here?
