Tom Smith used to be somebody. Now he's just another refugee, fleeing the smoking ruins of civilization. Tom and some trusted allies were able to stay one step ahead of the infected humans and escaped offshore. Now they're holed up in a safe house in coastal Virginia and it's time to break out. Between him and his objective, one of the bank's prepared evacuation camps in the Cumberland Valley, are hundreds of miles of clogged roads, burnt-out towns, and howling mobs of infected humans who know only hunger.

One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty. That was before Melody, a contractor, more or less blew his life up as if it were a building packed full of C4. Then she pranced around the ashes of it like it was the end of the world and was conjuring up the end times herself.

It's been just weeks since the state funeral for the Sentinels, Atlas, Ajax, and Nimbus, lost in the Whittier Base Attack. Astra, Hope, is recovered from her own injuries. At least physically. Mentally... not so much, but she feels ready to actively wear the cape again. Which is good since, between the revelation of her short-lived relationship with Atlas and her virally pungent public comments on the current political debate over breakthrough registration (the National Public Safety Act), she needs to raise her profile. But she's better now, steady, ready for anything. Or is she?

More than a year after she helped save the world from the Sparnaxian invasion, Andrea Vernon is in a good place. Her boss is giving her greater responsibility and she’s getting to travel a lot (although her fill-in is hopeless at making coffee); things could be getting even more serious with her 8’ 4” superhero boyfriend, The Big Axe; and she has a really fun new BFF, Never More. Small issue, though, with that last item - Never More is a supervillain bent on world domination, and it looks as if nothing can stop her.

Publisher's Summary
Hero. Villain. Stewart Mitchel thinks they’re opposites, but he’s about to be pulled into a conspiracy that will turn him into both. What would you do if your wealthy and reclusive boss offered you the chance to be the greatest modern hero, but you knew it was all a lie?
It may seem like the ultimate acting job, but once the charade begins to crumble, Stewart discovers there are less destructive ways to weather a mid-life crisis. Can he salvage his life, or will his deception bring ruin down on everyone he cares about? Plus with the FBI hot on his tail, he may be unable to save himself, let alone anyone else. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Stewart has his foot on the gas.
Paper Heroes is a contemporary sci-fi novel that mixes politics, technology, and heroism, asking whether or not the ends truly justify the means.

world of deceit
A hero Book with a difference. Steven Heumann takes you into a world of deceit. A promise of a better life for all is promised to those if they go along with the plot. Little do they know what works behind the deceit.
Steven tells the story well. It is such a different tale. Well thought out story which takes you in a different direction to what you think.
Hardest corse language in a... hole, mention sex put doesn’t go into it. I would call the violence, hero violence. Just like any hero story.
I also like his narration. He gave the characters their own unique voices. He tells the story liked if he lived it.
I really enjoyed listening to this book.
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher free of charge for a honest, unbiased review.

This book was not predictable! I like the characters, and the genre. Sometimes an Opportunity presents itself and we have to make a decision. Sometimes our optimism blinds us. Sometimes we just have to rely on ourselves to save ourselves and others. I enjoyed this adventure.

clearly a wannabe superhero novel
going to return this one. I can already see where it's going and I'm only on chapter 3 . plus any dialogue is pretty simplistic. sorry . it's just not for me.
