Fallout by Gwenda Bond
4.0
Lois Lane: Fallout was a very entertaining read. As someone who's had an obsession with the relationship between Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and Superman since childhood, this was one I couldn't pass up. Gwenda Bond does a great job of imagining Lois as the army brat, new kid in Metropolis who quickly gets a job working for the teen contingent of the Daily Planet. She's soon immersed in a mystery involving some kids from her high school and a high tech gaming world that has turned them into something not unlike the Borg.
While Clark Kent never makes a *physical* appearance in the story, he is there via online chats between himself and Lois. He's a bit obnoxious with his *super secret* persona, not even being willing to tell her anything about his alter ego. C'mon, Clark Kent is a farmboy in Kansas, that's all you'd have to tell her....
One of my favorite bits was how Bond brought Lois onto the chatboards where she meets the mysterious SmallvilleGuy; a run-in with a UFO (of sorts) on a long drive across Kansas on one of her family's moves. It was quite clever.
