    About this ebook

    The world's hottest hero has gone rogue! In an age of global warming, super-heated hero Skillet looks like a lukewarm loser. But when his teammates, the Castigators, turn their backs on him, he turns the Castigators into prey. Let the hunt begin! Skillet becomes public enemy number one as he rounds up his former allies. But the secret plan behind his hunt might just save the world. The invention of evil genius Brain Fart could turn back the clock on global warming by melting down the high-powered do-gooders. Can Skillet capture the last of the heroes needed to charge the climate change reverser? Or will an out-for-blood super-hero hit squad cook his goose first? The hope of the future explodes in a fight to the death between the caped-and-cowled warriors of a doomed generation.

      Angel Of Death

      Mar 27, 2018

      I could see the wave coming long before it arrived. It looked like a length of rope uncoiling as the swell hit the edge of the reef and spun towards me, a beady eye staring me down in slow motion as it got closer. It was my first time surfing Speedie

      In the thin dawn, a stained curtain teases its hem across my lips. A gust of wind catches the hem and flicks away sleep, out through the window to the busy street below. I am on the floor of a stranger’s lounge. Beside my head is a shoe print on a pi

      HEROES OF GLOBAL WARMING

      Freeze-Dry, Floater, and Bottlenose catch up with me near the Times Square Sea, itching to bring me in after what I did to their buddy, Sunblock. Never mind that I used to be their buddy, too, a long time ago. Back before I went from being a superhero...

      ...to kicking superheroes' asses. Not that Freeze-Dry and his pals think they're the ones about to take a beating. Not when they've got me outnumbered three to one like this.

      Stand down, Skillet! Freeze-Dry skates up on an elevated track of frozen water vapor, ten feet above the lapping waves of Times Square Sea. The track expands forward as he skates, responding to his freeze-inducing powers. I won't tell you twice!

      You heard the man! Floater swoops up like a deflating balloon and holds steady at twenty feet away from me, drifting past the ruined buildings of the Square on the late morning air currents. His voice sounds like a cartoon chipmunk's, like he's just sucked a lungful of helium. Don't make us hurt you.

      Bottlenose, who's half man, half dolphin, spins up from the water below and triggers his antigravity harness, joining the rest of us hovering in midair. His gleaming gray head bobs as he lets loose
