Les belles promesses

Description

Past and present collide as Spitball undertakes his most dangerous mission yet.

An international supervillain summit. Androids, clones, and the Russian mob. And the martinis? Shaken, not stirred...

Spitball is finally one of the Phenomenal Five. But the Five aren't exactly heroes anymore. They've followed Miracle Worker's path and become underground saviors wanted by the law. But that doesn't mean they're bad guys now.

Then again, maybe it does...

Miracle Worker has been invited to a secret meeting of supervillains. An annual convention of spies, terrorists, and mad scientists. And he has a history with them.

Luke (a.k.a. Spitball) is riding shotgun, disguised as Miracle Worker's young apprentice. His mission? Uncover the meaning behind the summit's cryptic theme: God from the Machine. And determine where Miracle Worker's true loyalties lie. And, if possible, get out alive.

Grab your super-suit and your armored tuxedo because perilous mystery, casino intrigue, and world domination await! DXM combines superhero fantasy with action adventure James Bond-style. Featuring the return of a fan favorite heroine, a cadre of strong female characters, and the bonus short story Speed Dating, a romantic romp of superhero sci-fi and costumed comedy.

The third installment of the Shattered Universe is the best one yet!

· Book 1: Golden Age Heroes

· Book 2: Hungry Gods
