"Super" Debut!"
The day the Berlin Wall fell brought about more change
than anyone on Earth expected; they were invaded from
outer space by the Jorans. Magic that was locked away was
released and with the help of another alien race the Blue,
human Champions came about. These Champions were able to
defeat the Jorans and became Earth's heroes. Twenty years
later the Planetary Protection Agency (PPA) keeps track of
these Superheroes, and uses them as independent agents
whenever they are needed against alien, alchemical and
earthly dangers. Attorney Liz Blackwell is spying on her employer for the
FBI. The law firm she works for is linked to one of the
most dangerous crime organizations, the Snakehead Triad.
Her geeky secretary Kent Alistair has had a crush on her,
but can not do anything about it since he too has a
secret, he is the Ninja. Kent would never have tried
anything with Liz for fear of her safety, plus he has his
own mission against the Triad. The Ninja is not registered
with the PPA, but has a friend, a demon named Jasper who
is; they share information. One night after meeting with her handler she was attacked
by a Triad Alchemist and a group of thugs, lucky for her
the Ninja was around to rescue her. While thanking the
Ninja, Liz kisses him and things begin to heat up. The
Ninja becomes her secret lover and Liz finds herself now
thinking about sex a lot; this makes her aware of Kent as
a man and she no longer sees him as geeky. Kent is
confused because he is jealous of his alter ego being with
Liz and he wants her to like the whole package. Will Kent
and Liz be able to trust and work with each other before
it is too late? Superheroes, and alchemists, and demons, and FBI agents,
and the mob, and ninjas, OH MY!!! One would think that
that combination couldn't possibly work, but Racy Li
proves to us that it does and she does so superbly. This
is the second story taking place in this world; the other
Demon Rescuer is available free at
http://www.racyli.com/free.html, well worth going to her
site and checking it out. I loved both stories and look
forward to reading more from this author.
