The Hidden Empire (Deep City) (Volume 1)

Oliver Archer is a wealthy, handsome young man enjoying the high life on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for one last summer before heading off to college—until a molecular black hole rips him from his glittering life and thrusts him into the underworld of New York City ... not the criminal underworld, but a secret society hidden beneath the sidewalks, in the sewers, and in the spaces behind old walls. There, Oliver is drawn into a deadly conflict as he faces mice with human genes, robotic vermin, and strange, elfin creatures using 21st century technology. Now, the fate of humanity depends upon one pampered young man learning to value the world he left behind ... and the one he's only just discovered.
