Summary
For thirty-five years, Eric Johnson stood between humanity and extinction.
As Ultimate Samson, he was the greatest hero the world had ever known—stronger than steel, faster than thunder, the last shield against annihilation.
But greatness comes at a cost.
He lost his job, his wife, and the son he never got to say goodbye to. Sacrifice became his legacy.
Regret became his shadow.
Now, nearing the end of his strength and purpose, Eric wants only one thing: to retire and disappear.
But when a monstrous force from the Hollow Earth emerges—a Kaiju Queen born of plasma and pain, immune to everything but raw will—he is called back into the fire for one final stand.
Twelve heroes fall.
Two of his oldest friends die in his arms.
And Eric?
He gives everything he has left.
The world believes him dead.
But in a quiet corner of Central Park, an old man feeds the pigeons, reads the paper, and watches life go on—unknown, unseen, and finally free.
