Book Description
Fake superheroes. Real comedy. Doctor Mind has it made. Having spent the last three years using a combination of alien technology and clever stage magic to fool the people of Freedom City into thinking he's a legitimate superhero (including hiring his failed actor brother to play his supervillains), Doctor Mind thinks he's set for life. Until a real supervillain, the dangerous but quirky Death Skull the Murderer, shows up and threatens to destroy the entire city in a month unless Doctor Mind defeats him in a fight. Ostracized from the mainstream superhero community for his scammy business, Doctor Mind must recruit and train a team of superhero rejects—including a Canadian lumberjack with a personal vendetta against trees, a washed-out sidekick who looks like a baby despite being an adult, and a woman with more brawn than brains—to become real superheroes and save his city from Death Skull. Assuming they don't kill each other first. KEYWORDS: superhero action fiction, superhero fantasy, superhero fiction novel, superhero science fiction, superhero scifi, superhero young adult, superhero city, superhero books, superhero action, superhero books for kids, superheroes, cool superheroes, action adventure books, superhero action adventure books, action adventure fiction, superhero action adventure fiction, young adult action adventure, action adventure young adult, superhero comedy, superhero satire, funny science fiction, funny fantasy

Pages : 199
Book Description
A Demon Lord has arisen, and the world awaits a hero. In a peaceful village, two young boys—Foyle Austin and his best friend Yu—have long dreamed about being heroes, but the legends say there can only be one. Their paths forward seem decided when the goddess declares Foyle a “Hero,” while leaving Yu’s destiny unclear. But Foyle has a secret only he knows. The role given to him by the goddess is actually “Fake Hero.” Far from being destined to overthrow the Demon Lord, defeat awaits him at the true hero’s hand, and Foyle has a good idea who that will be. When Foyle expels Yu from his party, he cements his role as the true hero’s adversary. His powers begin to fade as his friend grows ever stronger. Foyle clearly won’t be the one to save the world, but after an encounter with a mysterious elf in need of help, he sets out to prove that even the villain can be a hero to someone.

Foyle may have been denied the role of hero, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a savior. Having changed his name to Ayame, he’s on a journey to save as many people as possible, accompanied by Iris, an elf with legendary healing powers. When Ayame and Iris arrive in the city of Rikko, they find preparations are underway for the Full Bloom Festival. The pair teams up with the Adventurer’s Guild as they hunt a dragon to gain the rare materials needed for the festival’s stunning fireworks display that will light up the night sky. Unfortunately, the festivities have invoked the envy of Sway Ka Senco (a member of the fearsome Eight Warlords) who’s determined to ruin the fun. With powerful ice magic that threatens to freeze the entire city and its people—their flesh, their souls, and the very ground beneath them included—Warlord Sway Ka Senco looks to be Ayame’s toughest opponent yet.

Magic and Illusion in the Movies
Author: George Higham
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476654220
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
From top hats to top secrets, this book is a celebration of illusion technology and mechanisms of trickery through a genre-crossing selection of films. Heroes, villains, spies, con-men, and madmen, magicians all, have utilized complex constructs and trickery in thrilling cinematic adventures from the earliest days of cinema to the present. Current blockbusters such as Spider-Man: Far from Home and the Mission: Impossible series feature amazing acts of deception, often appearing far-fetched, that are in fact surprisingly close to today's technology. Along with the James Bond saga, classics such as The Wizard of Oz, Nightmare Alley, and The Sting are joined by a host of other movies superficially seeming to be very different, yet proving there is more than meets the eye.
