The plan was to build the perfect hero, but nothing is perfect... Humanity has long known of the existence of superheroes. Unfortunately, while they are often genuine heroes, they aren't very super. Nonsensica's twitch-inducing gibberish and Chloroplast's mighty photosynthesis don't quite rise to the promises of the comic books. But that hasn't stopped the nations of the world from trying to assemble power-packed teams.

The plan was to build the perfect hero, but nothing is perfect... Humanity has long known of the existence of superheroes. Unfortunately, while they are often genuine heroes, they aren't very super. Nonsensica's twitch-inducing gibberish and Chloroplast's mighty photosynthesis don't quite rise to the promises of the comic books. But that hasn't stopped the nations of the world from trying to assemble power-packed teams. In the United States, that team is known as The Other Eight, hand-picked from the best of the best (or at least the best Uncle Sam could find). But some organizations aren't satisfied with finding a hero. They want to create one. Enter The Icon. ChiNoKo's mighty defender has everything The Other Eight lacks-super strength, ultra speed, and neigh invulnerability. But it takes more than powers to be a hero. When The Icon threatens to destabilize his nation and beyond, The Other Eight will need all the power they can get to set things right again. Unfortunately, lousy power comes with great responsibility, too. The Other Eight VS The Icon is an exciting super-hero adventure from Joseph R. Lallo. It combines the action of comic book battle with the wit of satire for a story that packs both punches and punchlines.
Autorenporträt
Joseph R. Lallo was born in Bayonne, NJ. For most of his life, writing was an interest that he used to fill those spare moments when he should have been studying or doing other more productive activities. This continued all the way through college, through graduate school where he earned a masters of computer engineering, and through nearly a decade as an IT specialist. On January 28th 2010, after several dozen failed attempts to have his stories traditionally published, his friends convinced him to self-publish. A year later he had earned $19, so he decided to make the first book in his series free. The following month he made $1900 and was well on his way to a career in self-publishing. Since then he has expanded into traditional publishing, translations, audio productions, and podcasts.Primarily known for his Book of Deacon fantasy series, Joseph R. Lallo has released more than two books in a variety of settings. These include the six books in the Deacon setting, seven science fiction novels in the Big Sigma series, a superhero satire called The Other Eight, and a steampunk series called Free-Wrench.
