THE THRILLING, ACERBIC AND HILARIOUS NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE
'The Avengers meets The Breakfast Club... wry and engaging' James Swallow, Sunday Times bestselling author of Nomad
'A spiky, fierce, erudite riff on the wonderful world of silver age superheroes' Charles Stross, bestselling author of The Atrocity Archives
----
Middle-aged English professor Dr Rick Tower has a secret.
As a teen he was Prodigy - a kickass superhero.
He was given and wielded mysterious powers.
And as part of a superteam, he beat up bad guys.
They were gods - worshipped and feared.
Naturally, the government shut them down.
Now Rick's in hiding, supposedly living a normal life.
Promising to never use his powers again.
Forgotten. Washed up. A no one.
Until the summons puts the gang back together -
to solve a disappearance from their past.
For superbeings, it should be easy.
But when have gods ever followed orders . . .
----
'Hugely enjoyable... kept me up till 3am' Conn Iggulden, Sunday Times bestselling author of Lion
'Combining a coming-of-age story with costume thrills . . . it has sly, smart things to say' Herald
'Fight Me embraces the fun of the genre, while treating its battle-weary characters with heart and empathy. A noir-tinged Big Chill for the superhero set' Bob Proehl, author of The Nobody People
'A treasure that manages to be sad, funny, and hilariously fun at all once. A thrilling adventure but also a searing, intimate look at what it would really cost to have such incredible power, and yet still be human' Peng Shepherd, bestselling author of The Cartographers
'There is a vibrancy to the writing, and a beating heart, reminiscent of my favourite coming-of-age novels' Nick Cutter
'A sucker-punch of sheer delight, and couldn't be happier to be on the receiving end' Adam Christopher
