Free (nook/Kindle/DRM-free) Blaze of Glory [Superheroine vs Aliens Urban Fantasy]

ATDrake · 09-01-2012, 03:27 AM

Blaze of Glory by Sheryl Nantus is the 1st in her eponymous superheroes vs aliens urban fantasy adventure series featuring the same heroine (apparently there may be some romantic elements in future volumes, but these aren't dedicated couples-getting-together romances), free courtesy of Samhain Publishing.

Not gonna lie, this looks it could be cracktastically awesome. And Canadian! Which is like basically the same thing anyway.

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK) and directly from the publisher (DRM-free, multiformat available worldwide).

Description
Saving the world is easy for a superhero—unless you’re a fraud.

Jo Tanis is a superhero, fighting evil on the city streets, using her ability to feed off electromagnetic energy and fire off charges—and it’s all just a show. The Agency captures her and others like her when their powers begin to manifest, pitting them against each other in staged, gladiatorial fights. An explosive implant on the back of her neck assures she’ll keep right on smiling for the camera and beating up the bad guys.

When Earth comes under attack, suddenly the show becomes deadly real. Unable to deal with a real alien, the “supers” are falling in droves. Millions of innocent civilians are going to die…unless Jo can cobble together a team from among the fake heroes and villains the Agency enslaved. Including Hunter, who not only promises to show her how to deactivate the implants, but seems to know more than he should about how the mysterious Agency operates.

Forcing a rag-tag bunch of former enemies to work together is the least of Jo’s problems. The trick is determining if Hunter is friend or foe—and becoming the hero everyone thought she was before the world is destroyed for real.

Product Warnings: Contains superhero in-jokes, Canadiana and large alien craft shaped like avocados. Really.

I wanted this one for a long time. Samhain is really giving away some nice freebies lately.
