Fight Me

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 couldnt be happier to be on the receiving end Adam Christopher
