Hungry Gods

Seventy years after World War Two, hotshot rookie superhero Spitball is out to prove his mettle to the world. And to himself. If he doesn't get eaten first... Luke Gillis is barely dragging himself through college. Of course, if he wrote term papers the way he thrashed bank robbers, he'd probably be a doctor by now. First lesson for newbie superheroes: You're not invincible. Second lesson: Neither are they. Still, Luke must be doing something right. The U.S. Army has invited his alter ego-the dashing speedster Spitball-on a top-secret mission. With the country's premier superhero team missing-in-action, this could be his chance to break into the big leagues of justice. But can one untested young hero step up and save America's heartland before an ancient evil takes a monster-sized bite out of it? Orphan and the Underdogs pass their legacy to a new generation of heroes-but is that a blessing or a curse? Pick up Hungry Gods and continue your internship into the Shattered Universe today!

It also contained a little bit of everything: humor, horror, action, and drama." - Quentin Wallace "I read it in about two hours, in the middle of the night, very uncommon for me.
