2008 - With the most advanced battle suit the world has ever seen, the ruthless sociopath, Nick Crowley, is the deadliest man alive. The only thing standing in his way is Cosmic Woman and Team Liberty, until an accident sends him to...
1955 - Time travel has left the suit powerless and Nick is on the run, tagged as a communist by the FBI. In this golden era of superheroes, his actions have already started a butterfly effect that could render the Earth doomed or, at the very least, threaten his future existence. Now he must save and lead a D-list team of do-gooders who, historically, were never meant to last more than a week.
Will his attitude and knowledge of superhero tactics be enough to dodge the FBI, turn the ragtag group of misfits into the first Team Liberty, and save the world? Will he ever get back into his suit? Time will tell.
This debut novel by Tom McLaughlin is an exciting treat for any science fiction or superhero fan, but the fast-paced action, dark comedy, and intense storyline is sure to entertain readers of any genre.
Contains adult language and violence.
Professional Reviews
Gerard Houarner
'Tom McLaughlin's Golden is a wild ride through time and space to 1955 for a close-up of super hero dynamics, reality-show style...'
Shroud Magazine
'...a lot edgier and raw than you might expect in superhero fiction... the author has managed to include a modern day superhero battle; some time travel complete with a version of the grandfather paradox; 1950s paranoia; a coming of age tale; prejudice; crime; espionage; Nazi experimentation and even a little romance. This book gives more than you would think it has the right to.'
