The Damned Busters by Matthew Hughes

3.0

This book drew me in just from the cover. Well, that, and Angry Robot Books consistently puts out really unique and engaging stories. Essentially, this is about a man who cuts a deal with nefarious beings to become a superhero, somebody stronger, faster, better--except his attempts to save the day keep going more and more wrong. At the end, he finds a way to help the people he cares about by using the talents he already has. The characters are mostly exaggerated caricatures, and I know this is only the first book in a series, but the way this one wrapped up was more inspiring than I expected.
