My latest read: Just Cause by Ian Thomas Healy
[image error] Just Cause – “Revised & Expanded Edition” by Ian Thomas Healy
I met Ian Thomas Healy at the Denver MileHi Con in October, 2017. His description of his super-hero world intrigued me. Being a super-hero fan of sorts (I’ve watched all the movies from Superman, Spiderman, Batman, DC, & Marvel), I picked up this first book in the Just Cause series entitled Just Cause.
In the Just Cause world superheroes, or “parahumans” with paranormal abilities, are known entities. They’ve been “out of the closet”, so to speak, for decades and now can be identified with by the Musashi gene encoding for a parahuman. These parahumans attend special schools like the Hero Academy and join various hero groups. One group, sanctioned by the US Government, is known as Just Cause and is the elite hero team.
Sally, an eighteen-year-old parahuman, is the main character in the story. Her para-ability is speed. We join the story as she becomes an intern with Just Cause. This book is much more than a super hero book with elements of a coming-of-age story. Super hero genre fans won’t be disappointed and those that are looking for a touching storyline will also love Ian’s plot.
Full disclosure, this is the first super-hero book I’ve read . I wasn’t sure what to expect and still am not sure how to compare it to others in the genre, but I can definitely recommend it as it kept me page-turning and I grew invested in the characters.
