A WORLD GONE MAD A World Imploding With War The future's only hope
is a group of super-powered heroes, all outlawed as a threat to
security long ago by a paranoid government. When the new President
calls them back to action, can they shake the dust off of their
costumes and get their game back on in time to turn the tide?
Especially with a new breed of superheroes emerging whose loyalties
are in question... the enemy forces having possibly enlisted the
aid of malevolent extraterrestrials... and the most powerful
super-being on the planet turned rogue? Can the very notion of a
free world survive the evil brought against it by a mysterious
elite cabal bent on enslaving the world through a forced peace? The
answer awaits you in OUTSUPERED. A superhero novel for grown-up
kids. Meet Solsior, an alien being of immeasurable power, stranded
on Earth as a boy... Mother Superior, a tall, muscular redhead who
is the reincarnation of Samson... Eagle X, a patriotic
super-soldier with plenty of pent-up anger and frustration... The
Red Wraith, a mysterious costumed crime fighter with a storehouse
of super-scientific gadgets and a closet full of secrets...
Mechatrix, a young untested hero sporting a suit of sophisticated
battle armor and a head full of self-doubt. Tommy Dobson, a man on
the run from his past, battling an aggressive illness, one step
ahead of government agents on his tail - because he may be the one
last super-being capable of saving humanity, despite himself. Part
action-adventure, part satirical parody and caustic political
commentary, Outsupered - Or, I Saved The World And All I Got Was
This Cape is the latest novel by Rob Foster, author of Just Wrong:
A Novel About Hollywood. Foster taps into his lifelong love of
superheroes and comics, to create an alternate universe of heroes,
villains and out-of-this-world scenarios, with a plot that will
have you looking sideways in skepticism about our own real world.
At times gripping with edge-of-your-seat action, laced with
Foster's twisted brand of hilarious satire, Outsupered is the
oddball entry into the genre of superhero fiction that you've been
waiting for - skewering cliches and action fantasy stereotypes, a
new spin on the whole idea of superheroes and their surreal
connection to the actual world we live in.
