“Fine, I’ll let you go this time, but don’t let me catch you doing this again.” Powerhouse dematerialized the ropes and turned to the thief. “As for you, young man, I’ll let you go with a stern warning. Don’t take what doesn’t belong to you.”
The thief shrugged. “Why not?”
“Because it’s wrong.”
“Why?”
“Because it doesn’t belong to you.”
“Why not?”
“Because you didn’t work for it.”
“Why should I have to work for it?”
Powerhouse grabbed the thief, turned him upside down, and swooped sixty feet up in the night sky with the screaming boy.
“Because I said so!”
He put down the boy with freshly wet pants.
Tales of the Dim Knight is a tongue-in-cheek superhero novel by Adam and Andrea Graham. Mild-mannered janitor Dave Johnson is the ultimate fanboy. Stuck in a dead-end job, he enriches his life with fantasies of superhero glory. He's got the comic books, the action figures, even the lunchbox. It may be costing him the respect of his wife and oldest son, but Dave is a hero in his own mind.
Then he meets Zolgron, a symbiotic alien who gives him incredible powers. There is no question what Dave will do with his new-found abilities. He will become a superhero for real!
Now all he has to face is cynical citizens, ruthless gangsters, the slow deterioration of his marriage, and the ever-present threat of copyright infringement.
Tales of the Dim Knight is laugh-a-minute superhero action. Dave isn't the smartest man on the block, but he has the heart of a hero. As the invincible Powerhouse, he will keep the streets of Seattle safe for truth, justice, and heroic dreams.
Get Tales of the Dim Knight at half price until July 31.
