    <![CDATA[Doctor Impossible—evil genius, diabolical scientist, wannabe world dominator—languishes in a federal detention facility.  He's lost his freedom, his girlfriend, and his hidden island fortress.  <br/><br/>Over the years he's tried to take over the world in every way imaginable: doomsday devices of all varieties (nuclear, thermonuclear, nanotechnological) and mass mind control.  He's traveled backwards in time to change history, forward in time to escape it.  He's commanded robot armies, insect armies, and dinosaur armies.  Fungus army.  Army of fish.  Of rodents.  Alien invasions.  All failures.  But not this time.  This time it’s going to be different...  <br/><br/>Fatale is a rookie superhero on her first day with the Champions, the world's most famous superteam.  She's a patchwork woman of skin and chrome, a gleaming technological marvel built to be the next generation of warfare.  Filling the void left by a slain former member, we watch as Fatale joins a team struggling with a damaged past, having to come together in the face of unthinkable evil.  <br/><br/><em>Soon I Will Be Invincible</em> is a thrilling first novel; a fantastical adventure that gives new meaning to the notions of power, glory, responsibility, and (of course) good and evil.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book based on a strong review, and was quite disappointed. Any reviewer who praises this book's imagination clearly hasn't read a comic book within the last 5-10 years. The settings, characters, and powers all seem to have been lifted wholesale out of Marvel's least inspired 80s B-list...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13064895">more...</a>]]></body>
