Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman

You see into the inner psyche of an emerging hero and what makes them tick. The story is told through two vantage points, a new heroine just starting out, and an old hand Super Villain. If you have ever groaned in tortured agony when the Super Villain pauses before dispatching that annoying hero into the component atoms he is made from, (allowing the Hero one last chance, why won't he kill him!?), or wondered what Heroes lives are really like, you will love this book. Soon I Will Be Invincible is a thrilling first novel, a fantastical adventure that gives new meaning to notions of power, glory, responsibility, and (of course) good and evil. Filling the void left by a slain former member, we watch as Fatale joins a team struggling with a damaged past, having to come together in the face of unthinkable evil. She's a patchwork woman of skin and chrome, a gleaming technological marvel built for the next generation of warfare.

This time it's going to be different.įatale is a rookie superhero on her first day with the Champions, the world's most famous superteam. He's commanded robot armies, insect armies, and dinosaur armies. He's traveled backwards in time to change history, forward in time to escape it. Over the years, he's tried to take over the world in every way imaginable, using doomsday devices of all varieties (nuclear, thermonuclear, nanotechnological) and mass mind control. He's lost his freedom, his girlfriend, and his hidden island fortress.

Doctor Impossible, evil genius, diabolical scientist, wannabe world dominator, languishes in a federal detention facility.
