Publisher's summary

The supervillains of DESTRON have conquered the country, The Big Axe has been imprisoned, and the heroes of the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection have been reduced to hiding behind a force field surrounding New York City.

And if that's not enough, Andrea Vernon is pregnant. With a Little Axe.

But Andrea’s not one to sit on the sidelines. She has to make a plan to save the country, rescue her boyfriend, and figure out what exactly people do with babies. And a whole new slate of enemies is coming for CUP, led by the newly installed dictator of America, Dr. Robotfury, and his ingenious mecha-administrative assistant who bears a rather frightening resemblance to Andrea.

It’s a lot to wrap up before you go on maternity leave.

About the Creator

Alexander C. Kane’s brand of science fiction is strange, witty, and funny, whether it’s the superheroes-meet-workplace world of the “Andrea Vernon” series or the telekinetically-tinged mystery of the “Orlando People” series. At the heart of all his stories are relatable characters who meet everyday issues head on, and just want to be their best. Alex lives in New York with his wife and children, who possess the supernatural ability to cope with his overactive imagination.

Bahni Turpin takes this to a whole new level!

While the story is in itself, entertaining, Bahni Turpin's performance takes this to a whole new level. She brings such life to the characters.. you can't help but feel you know each one of them personally.

The Shaolin Soccer of the superhero genre

These books have been fun. Alexander Kane's writing is droll and absurdist, yet grounded, and Bahni Turpin has good crazy fun with it, It's not only an amazing comic performance but also subtle and well observed. They're so attuned to each other that you forget that there was both a writer and a narrator.

You can only take this sort of schtick so far, though, and Kane wisely structured this as a trilogy and brought it to a definite end. If you stop before it's too late, you'll never come to any harm, as the Taoist saying goes. Well done.

Banhi Turpin never disappoints!

I enjoyed all the books in this series due in no small part to the narrator’s dynamic and exciting performance. I’ve been running around my house saying “I am at my brightest when night is at its nightest!” “GLARE!!” I literally forget that it’s just one person doing all those voices.

the third does not disappoint...

I am hoping for a 4th installment, hopefully with the characters identified in the epilogue.

Sets the bar

This series sets the bar for audio books. Great story that pulls all of the threads together in the end. Amazing narration. Bahni Turpin is my absolute favorite audio book narrator. She brings the story to life.

I like this series

But, it gets a bit repetitive and I’m not sure I am going to continue. But I think I felt that way after the last and I did enjoy this one.

Entertaining, Fun, Whimsical

I enjoyed this while series of wacky super heroes and villains. Their names made me smile every time I heard them. Thoroughly enjoyed the humor. Highly recommended for a break from reality.
