Meta-Misfits
Blackberry Mint Lemonade. A simple fast food treat, or the catalyst for societal collapse? Scottie Brentson doesn’t know. Yet that doesn’t stop him from trying the latest beverage craze El Rancho Burgers has to offer. It isn’t long before he regrets his choice. First assuming he suffers from an allergic reaction to the refreshment, he quickly discovers himself mutating into a pyrokinetic being. He isn’t alone. Other people develop super-strength, ice, parasitic telepathy, and magic, among other abilities. Not all these powers will benefit mankind. If Scottie thinks he can just leave town, he’s wrong. Deep in the heart of the operation behind El Rancho Burgers, the mysterious C.O.R.B.I.N., lies a dark tie he’ll want to sever soon. Because this corporation will break Scottie’s spirit to make him work for them. And nobody in all the history of Greensville has ever refused C.O.R.B.I.N. Not even the META-MISFITS. Nikolas P. Robinson says, “Meta-Misfits is fantastic. It reminds me a lot of Douglas Adams and John Scalzi sort of wrapped into one package. It’s ridiculous in a good way.”

I had the pleasure of being a beta reader for this story, but I purchased a copy just to have a physical copy and to be able to review it as a verified purchase on Amazon.
Meta-Misfits is SciFi action with a sense of humor to it. This is a story of exciting transformations with ample ridiculousness, very much in the vein of Douglas Adams or John Scalzi. If Kurt Vonnegut had tried his hand with the superhero genre, this might be precisely the sort of thing we'd have ended up with.

Compelling narrative and fun characters. Really fun read. Would have finished in a day if I wasn’t addicted to my phone. Blown away by the author’s ability to explore topical issues in a fun sci-fi setting. Looking forward to reading more!
