Synopsis
Alternating between the narratives of the mad scientist villain Doctor Impossible and the angst-ridden heroine Fetale, SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE takes familiar comic book fare and invests its would-be heroes and villains with psychological realism. The results are both sympathetic and humorous. Following in the footsteps of Alan Moore's classic WATCHMEN (one of the first comic books to consider the deeper pathology of people who want to dress up in colorful costumes) and the more recent television show HEROES, Austin Grossman's novel is both a spoof and homage to the wonderful and strange American fascination with the superhuman.
Tanya Harris has a husband, three kids, and happy domestic life in Northern California when she receives an opportunity to write a screenplay for a major Hollywood film. She's uncertain, but her husband convinces her to bite at the opportunity. She gets a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and before long her husband is proving unfaithful, and Tanya is having dalliances of her own with a bigshot producer.

Publisher's Note
When Doctor Impossible, an evil genius, mad scientist, time-traveler, and ambitious wannabe world dominator, escapes from prison and launches a new plot to seize control of the world, Fatale, a woman built by the NSA to be the next generation of weaponry, joins a group of misfit superheroes in their quest to destroy Doctor Impossible. A first novel. 50,000 first printing.

Industry reviews
"I mean it as the highest compliment when I say that [SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE] would make a darn good comic book."
