Soon I Will be Invincible by Austin Grossman
Doctor Impossible--evil genius, would-be world conqueror--languishes in prison. Shuffling through the cafeteria line with ordinary criminals, he wonders if the smartest man in the world has done the smartest thing he could with his life. After all, he's lost every battle he's ever fought. But this prison won't hold him forever. Fatale--half woman, half high-tech warrior--used to be an unemployed cyborg. Now, she's a rookie member of the world's most famous super-team, the Champions. But being a superhero is not all flying cars and planets in peril--she learns that in the locker rooms and dive bars of superherodom, the men and women (even mutants) behind the masks are as human as anyone. Soon I Will Be Invincible is a wildly entertaining first novel, brimming with attitude and humor--an emotionally resonant look at good and evil, love and loss, power and glory.Austin Grossman is a video game design consultant and the author of the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize-nominated novel You and Soon I Will Be Invincible. Granta, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times have all published his work. He is a resident of Berkeley, California.
