Summary

A new hero for a new era.

Mustang Sally has some speedy shoes to fill. This young superhero has waited her whole life to join Just Cause - the premiere team of American heroes. Now she's hoping her super-speed will earn a spot on the same team to which her parents and grandparents belonged.

An old grudge from an old enemy.

A chance encounter with the villain who killed her father changes everything. Even though she's only an intern, Sally devotes herself to finding the man known as Destroyer. With the help of her eagle-winged best friend Sondra and her super-strong love interest Jason, her investigations uncover a sinister plot stretching all the way back to her grandparents' era. Sally and Just Cause must risk everything to halt Destroyer's plans and save the entire world.

Bonus features

Beyond the revised original text, this volume contains three all-new short stories that expand upon the history of Mustang Sally's family line in the context of the Just Cause Universe. It also contains a summary of the historical and contemporary superhero teams that have been part of the legendary history.

Enjoyable superhero novel

There are plenty of super hero books etc out there these days, but the author manages to produce an engaging novel that predominantly focuses on a 3rd generation speedster hero known as Mustang Sally. She is a recent graduate of the Hero Academy that trains young parahumans in the use of their powers and she quickly ends up being an intern to Just Cause, the premier super hero team in this book's universe.

For a while the book is happy to build things gradually, filling in some history and back story for both her and her new teammates, but things start to ramp up as she becomes involved with one of those teammates and has also been making progress into investigating the newly returned nemesis of Just Cause known as the Destroyer, a villain responsible for the deaths of many heroes including that of Sally's father.

As well as helping to move the plot along to it's eventual conclusion, her investigation also helps to serve as a means for filling in some of the back story for both her family and for the Just Cause team itself, nicely rounding out the world as a whole.

Following, the conclusion of the main storyline, the book shifts into some short stories that cover some significant early incidents for the previous generations of both the team and Sally's family, a nice little bonus.

The narrator's performance was a strong one, getting the pacing and tone right throughout along with providing sufficiently distinct voices for the various characters in the book too.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and will certainly be considering getting other books from the series too.

Funny

This was funny. Superhero's abound, and a supervillian of course. This story see's the main team down 2 at the end but Sally gets not just the internship but full membership much sooner than she could ever imagined. And the supervillian still needs his comuppance.

Just get cause it's that good

I really enjoyed Plague (book 18) where I was introduced to the characters for the first time and just had to start at the beginning. So glad I did because this book didn't disappoint. It is a different set of characters but that didn't matter as they were just as interesting. I have grown up watching the marvel characters on screen and thought a speeder was one of the weaker members of the team but this book has blown that idea right out of the water and I loved Mustang Sally. You are given plenty of back story or memories throughout the main story as Sally tries to work out what the Destroyer is up to but after the main story you are given extra stories of how Sally's grandparents and parent's each battled him, which despite knowing how it turned out I also enjoyed because it completed the story for me.There is plenty of action but the author also gives the characters lives to live and even what they face after retirement. If you are expecting this book to have a fairy tale ending like in films, where the good guys all go home and the bad guy is caught? then this book isn't for you but if you want action, bad guys plotting to destroy the world, a little bit of romance and one funny one liners then sit back and let the action begin.
Mustang Sally is finally old enough to join the Just Cause super hero team as a trainee, like her parent's and Grandparents before her. The problem is she finds herself battling there old enemy, who is also the reason she grew up without a father. The Destroyer's plans for revenge has set him on a path to create his own super hero army and he might have just worked out a way to do it. Can Sally with her super speed and the rest of the Just Cause team stop him in his tracks?
I liked the narrator. She had to give voices to a lot of characters but she did a brilliant job with it and like the main character the story zipped by in the blink of an eye.
