Editorial Reviews

The story was very well done. It was told from a unique perspective, The heroes have unique names that in some cases don't give away their abilities. The story is told with great detail and not filled with useless information that has nothing to do with the plot. The characters are developed well but not everything is told so more can be uncovered in future books. Everything is kept in balance and developed very well. All in all, I really enjoyed this novel.

has a premise and central question that,for the superheroic world,is a long time in the making: namely,just HOW do the heroes manage to survive financially and still function as crime-busters? ...a very original,fresh and fun adventure story,reminiscent of the old-school "GIANT-SIZE" Marvel and DC Comic Book Specials of the 1970s. Told with warmth,humor,self-awareness and action PROJECT: HERO successfully sets up a series of adventures for a new, but comfortingly familiar, group of super-heroes.
