"The critical failure of compression tech had caused Tor's eyepiece to blossom out in leaves of metal and petals of glass veined with the copper remnants of circuitry, a flower of death that framed the ringtail's unmoving face. It would have been beautiful had he not been on the verge of death."
Dissolution is a barnstormer of an introduction to the Korps Universe. No, strike that. Dissolution is "jumping out of an airplane with no parachute, while trying to defuse a bomb strapped onto your chest with old, barely working scissors and a screwdriver you made yourself out of a stick and some folded aluminum foil" kind of introduction to the Korps Universe. Within pages of the opening, the rookie Korps villain Starshade, on the heels of a small-time bank heist, finds herself the target of every Hero in the state of Texas, seemingly with kill-on-sight orders. She is saved by a truly altruistic Hero Slate, who after seeing her terror decides to let her go. Starshade, and the Korps at large, have to figure out why she was targeted, while Slate has to figure out why he, a career Hero who has devoted his life to the job, made such an uncharacteristic decision. The two unlikely partners come together again in a grueling brawl that could decide the fate of the planet.

Preview of Blue Zenith: "It is here that we find the hero of our story. How best to describe Tor Nightingale (Captain Tor Nightingale, he would be quick to correct)? He is a ringtail, approximately twenty-five years old, lean and handsome in a rakish way. But perhaps the best way to give the impression of him is to point out that at the age of fifteen, he got a genemod to add a mohawk of silver hair to the top of his head, in the fervent belief that as such hairstyle was cool, it would make him look cool by association; however, the genemod was imperfect and the mohawk constantly tipped forward over his eyes, but Tor refused to change it now out of stubbornness and the belief that should he become sufficiently cool, his hair will be cool by association. In this he has been partially successful."
