Prose

Personally, I am finding the plot summary quite hard to follow. It jumps from event to event without really explaining why is all of that happening. For example, is Pierce behind all initial misfortunates on the new mutants? Why did Sam sided with Pierce? Why/How was Black Eagle murdered? Was the armored man attack ordered by Pierce? Do the new mutants all know each other? Is there a background story? Is that why they knew Roberto was in Brazil? But if they already knew each other how did Roberto mistaken them for enemies? Are the cybernetic man also Pierce's doing? I think the lead plot summary is much more understandable.
Making the process more difficult was that it coincided with McLeod's wedding and honeymoon. → The process was even more challenging because it coincided with McLeod's wedding and honeymoon.
Perhaps add reverse racism to "anti-white sentiment" (optional).
