'A spiky, fierce, erudite riff on the wonderful world of silver age superheroes' Charles Stross, bestselling author of The Atrocity Archives
----
Middle-aged English professor Dr Rick Tower has a secret.
As a teen he was Prodigy - a kickass superhero.
He was given and wielded mysterious powers.
And as part of a superteam, he beat up bad guys.
They were gods - worshipped and feared.
Naturally, the government shut them down.
Now Rick's in hiding, supposedly living a normal life.
Promising to never use his powers again.
Forgotten. Washed up. A no one.
Until the summons puts the gang back together -
to solve a disappearance from their past.
For superbeings, it should be easy.
But when have gods ever followed orders . . .
