Publisher's Summary

If you had the chance to be a superhero, would you? Even if you were a backup superhero, doing all of the work and getting none of the credit?

Becoming a superhero isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Let’s be realistic, people don’t have superpowers. But if you have enough determination to make it through training, you have a chance to be the modern-day superhero, stopping one criminal at a time…or doing everyone else’s job and getting none of the credit.

After Tanser Girl comes to terms with her non-celebrity level status in the superhero world, someone else from Level D decides it’s their moment to shine, shaking up the entire system, while leaving her to pick up the pieces.

Critic Reviews

"A quick read, this fun superhero story is perfect for fans of The Boys, Marvel, and DC." (Melissa Rose Rogers)

"A fascinating new way of looking at the superhero genre from the perspective of the lower tier characters (think Rose and Thorn instead of Superman) and what it's like to be at the lesser-known end of the heroic spectrum throws in a whole new mystery to keep you hooked!" (Steve Vimes)
