Pleasant surprise.
By K. Kiehm
Spook isn't a classic hero. She's not out to save the world. In fact she doesn't like the world very much. What she wants is to go to the lunar colony that the metahumans have and the job she takes guarantees the money to get there. All she has to do is find a missing boy. Except it's not so simple as that. It turns into something much more sinister.
Spook did have a classic sidekick in the hero named Carpenter. Carpenter has an affinity with wood as his superhero name would suggest. He can communicate with trees and manipulate wood to do what he wants. He's also a prefect foil to Spook's cynical outlook. He's an idealist who believes that the world will always need superheros. Carpenter also believes it's their duty to protect the normals from villains and criminals alike no matter how society views him.
Quantra is a complex supervillain. He is multi-layered and has many facets to his character. His motives were manifold and varies, too many to really penetrate and delve into in one review. It gave the story a lot of dimension and depth. I became very invested in finding out what made him tick and what his true objective was.
The world the story takes place in is a contradiction in itself. It has rocket ships yet it doesn't have advanced computers. It has dirigibles and helicopters yet doesn't have things like cell phones. I found it intriguing and different. It gave it a Sam Spade feel with a technological or "steampunk" edge.
Don' t Be a Hero was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting it to be as great as it was. I thought it would be passingly entertaining. Instead it captured me and held me in its grips. I wasn't completely sold on the concept of superheroes in a novel versus an action movie but I am now. I consider this book a win.
*A free copy of this book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Surprisingly good - Don't be put off by the cheesy cover
By Edward Jennings
All in all, a very pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting much when I bought it but, to my amazement, it was an excellent read. It's probably more of a four-and-a-half than a five but, hell, I got my money's worth which is (in my view) pretty unusual with a lot of 'hero' fiction.
No super-human story can truly be 'realistic' because the concept is intrinsically daft but this one came as close to plausibility as the genre allows. I certainly don't feel my time (or money) was wasted. I would even enjoy a sequel if the author feels the urge. I'd love to find out what happens to 'Sam' although, frankly, 'Spook' didn't interest me much; I don't understand how she survived the first chapter, let alone the entire book. Let's face it, turning into a shadow for up to three minutes isn't going to get anyone into the Justice League. She might make it into the Teen-Titans (if she was a bit younger) because they even let Robin in.
Note to author though: I've never heard a Yorkshireman refer to his father as 'Pa'. "Me Dad" would be more colloquial unless they've spent a lot of time on the Kent farm. Also, for the record, 'Quanta' could recharge himself by rubbing a bit of plastic on his hair or peeling of a strip of Sellotape. Both give of photons. (In a vacuum, peeling a strip of Sellotape actually gives off hard X-rays which is pretty freaky)

Definitely did not expect to like it that much
By GS
I received a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review, and this is one I really enjoy writing.
I really liked this book. I should say that I never read any classic superhero comic books so I cannot say if something in this book has been done before or not.
Personally, I really found it to be a quick and entertaining read. Spook is a lesbian superhero. Just that alone is cool. Why? Because even today only few authors dare to make their main character homosexual without centering the entire story around their sexual orientation. Chris Strange had the courage to move away from the classic gender role without making it a big deal in the story. We get to experience Spook's relationship with Gabby just like we would with any other relationship. Personally, I found that very refreshing and awesome.
While the writing itself isn't the most exceptional, I found it good enough to enjoy this book. The pace was just right, the characters were well developed and all in all I must admit that I was really surprised by how much I liked the book.
Will definitely be looking out other works by this author.
