Andrea Vernon always thought she would spend her life living in Paris writing thought-provoking historical novels all day and sipping wine on the Seine all night. But the reality is she's drowning in debt, has no prospects, and is forced to move back to Queens, where her parents remind her daily that they are very interested in grandchildren. Then, one morning, she is kidnapped, interviewed, and hired as an administrative assistant by the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection. Superheroes for hire, using their powers for good. What could possibly go wrong?

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.

Artificial intelligence is no longer governed by voluntary principles. With the EU AI Act now enforceable, parallel laws advancing across the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and China, and fines reaching up to seven percent of global annual turnover, the era of self-regulated AI is over.

Promises of recognition, promotion, support or opportunity moved quietly into the future. Private conversations were repeated in public, but with the meaning altered just enough to damage you. You still wanted to work with integrity. ...
