Book Reviews
"Very great blend of cartoon references and great original characters. Calling it Ready Player One for cartoons would be selling it short."
- A. C. Merkel, Author of Her Name is Murder
"I ... recommend that you read this book as it takes you to a world of good vs evil, heroes vs villains, origin stories combined with present-day adventure, and fathers and children as you ponder if villains ever make good…"
"This book probably has my favorite ending of any book this year."
"It is a simultaneous homage to Eighties Saturday Morning cartoon, a lamentation about the downsides to aging, and also a goofy coming of age story for a ragtag band of misfits ...
It’s definitely a labor of love that zigs when a lot of other books zag.
After accidentally killing his foster parents, Jayce believes he is Earth's lone werewolf, living on the streets to hide his monstrous side. Jayce survives a deadly invitation to meet his real father and goes to Hidden Brook, the world's only supervillain retirement home.
There he meets Max Malice and learns there are many stranger things in the world than himself - In Max's prime, robots, ghosts, and dinosaur clones used to threaten mankind on a weekly basis. Jayce needs to find their children to stop his father's one last attempt at world domination.
A generation separates two reluctant leaders whose common enemy is out to destroy both forces. Miguel, old and tired of fighting, finds himself thrust once more into battle as he tries to lead the last of the old school villains who escaped Hidden Brook..
When Jayce leads his team on a rescue mission for the escapees, Jeff and the others question or ignore his orders, and even the wolf fights him at every step.
Can he learn how to lead his team, or will his building rage tear them apart for good?
Jayce and the Rejects have defeated Shaya and the Department of Domestic Threats and Balances, but a new enemy rises from the agency’s depths: Dwayne, Shaya’s telepathic partner, is determined to release the last of the villainous prisoners and build an army to hunt down the man he blames for the death of his father – Jayce.
Deep underground, Dwayne finds his ultimate weapon for revenge: the legendary villain, Major Max Malice, alive once again and more powerful than ever before.
With an alliance of old and new foes united in a single purpose, Jayce and his team face a threat bigger than anything they’ve ever known. Even with their new abilities, do the Rejects have the spirit to light their darkest hour?
