Iron Man: Extremis — Marie Javins

In this prose adaptation of the classic graphic novel, Tony Stark selects a dangerous upgrade for Iron Man to tackle a deadly new enemy.

After revealing his secret identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark aims to engineer a better world. He is shifting the focus of Stark Industries from destructive weapons to life-improving technologies. With his revelation and his plan, Tony expects fame and adulation but he is only going to get more trouble . . 

After suffering a tragic, public failure, Tony knows he must improve Iron Man if he ever hopes to defeat a devastating new threat. One solution is a potentially lethal techno-organic virus known as Extremis. It will grant Tony more power than he has ever known -- and test his spirit to the breaking point . . .

Adapted from the graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov.

Praise for Iron Man: Extremis
“Javins is a masterful writer when it comes to convincing the reader of the sensory details of travel, of locations and their character, and even more adept at portraying characters in a psychologically realistic way. . . . The dialogue is as sharp, appealing, and funny as the films are known for, and are windows into character personality as well.” -- The Beat
