And like his uniquely blessed comrades, he's 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 Charlie's young life is snuffed out by a grisly serial killer, their budding romance is brutally cut short.Or is it? Thanks to his astounding new-found skill, Hiro has the means to do what no tragedy-stricken lover in history ever could-turn back time. And no matter how raw his abilities, or how many twists of circumstance conspire to foil him, he vows to deliver Charlie from the evil poised to claim her. He will be her hero. 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? Saving Charlie is an official tie-in novel for the US TV show Heroes that was published in 2007, in the gap between the show's second and third seasons (although it relates to the events of the first season). It is the only official tie-in novel that was published for the show, although other tie-in webcomics and graphic novels were also published. The novel revolves around an event in the show's tenth episode in which Hiro Nakamura accidentally travels too far into the past in an attempt to save the life of Charlie Andrews, a waitress who is killed by Sylar, one of the series' main antagonists. It extends the time that Hiro spends in the past as he searches for a way to avoid her death and travels back and forth in time, searching for clues, and further develops his relationship with Charlie.“Save the cheerleader, save the world” are the defining words of Heroes, the phenomenal series that transformed television drama. They are also the cryptic marching orders for the show’s cross section of ordinary individuals united by an extraordinary bond. Each possesses a superhuman ability, and together they must prevent the course of history from taking a terrifying turn. Now, in this original novel based on the TV phenomenon, in a thrilling story that will captivate even those who haven’t seen the show, one of these unexpected saviors steps center stage on a deeply personal quest that will test the limits of his gift, the depth of his love, and the ultimate strength of his will..
