How to Defeat a Hero: A Novel

by J Bennett

Through guile, moxie, and a smidge of betrayal, Alice has earned her spot as a henchman for The Professor, one of the biggest vils in town. This should be the role of a lifetime, but for Alice, it's merely a means to the paycheck she so desperately needs. When Alice learns The Professor's show is in danger of cancellation it's time to bend the rules. Alice's plan is big, bold, and seriously dangerous. In this semi-reality town the consequences if she fails could be all too real. It'll be a miracle if she can pull it off… and that's assuming she can trust her conniving fellow henchmen. HOW TO DEFEAT A HERO takes readers back to the gilded, futuristic world of Big Little City, where every hero and villain is the star of their own show… literally. As Alice tries to survive the "Fame Game," she discovers that it isn't so easy to separate fact from fiction or to keep her secret henchman life from poisoning her real one. Also, what's she going to do about the hunky hero who knows her true identity? Join J Bennett for this fast-paced, fresh story set in a world where good ratings might just be worth killing for.
