The Incrediblesmeets The West Wingmeets Marvel: Agents of Shield - the list goes on!
Doctor Impossible - evil genius, mad scientist, diabolical time-traveller, wannabe world dominator - has just broken out of prison. Again. After twelve foiled ploys (doomsday devices, mass mind-control, robot armies, insect armies, alien invasions, etc.), he's not about to be foiled again.
Fatale, a patchwork woman of skin and alloy built by the NSA to be the next generation of warfare, is suddenly given the chance every superhero dreams of: to join the Champions, the once-famous group of beautiful young superheroes who have been newly reunited to stop Dr Impossible. We watch as Fatale becomes part of a team - its greatest hero missing, its members struggling with their damaged pasts as they come together in the face of unthinkable evil.
Soon I Will Be Invincible is a wildly entertaining adventure about good and evil, bursting with attitude and humour, that features a cast of superheroes and supervillains with remarkably human emotions, and who inhabit a world strangely similar to our own.

A slickly effective thriller which confirms Child's ability to keep the reader guessing - and sweating
—— The TimesA fast-moving, violent and gripping mystery with a very bad baddie, and a tough, pragmatic hero in Jack Reacher
—— Daily TelegraphLee Child continues his meteoric rise and mastery of suspense with Tripwire. It's a tightly-drawn and swift thriller that gives new meaning to what a page-turner should be
—— Michael ConnellyEstablishes Child in the premier division.. Taut, with more than a touch of sweet romance, this is dangerously compulsive, so be warned - don't start it at bedtime or you'll be up all night
—— Manchester Evening NewsGood thrillers exist in a class of their own. The point of such a book is total escape and Tripwire fills the bill... includes a bang-up finale which makes the reader sit back and gasp with both wonder and understanding
—— Denver PostPage for page, there's probably more fisticuffs in a Lee Child thriller than anywhere else
—— Chicago TribuneSlaughter deftly turns all assumptions on their head ... Her ability to make you buy into one reality, then another, means that the suprises - and the violent scenes - keep coming
—— Time OutNo plodding, predictable plot lines here. A compelling exciting read
—— Sunday ExpressA strong and uncompromising thriller
—— Good Book GuideProbably the greatest living crime writer in the world
—— Ian Rankin
