With the razor-sharp satire that earned him rave reviews
for
Big Egos and Lucky Bastard, among others,
S.G.
Browne delivers another irresistible read, about an
unlikely
band of heroes who use their medical complications to
gain
fame, confront villains, and bring their own unique brand
of
justice to New York City.
Lloyd Prescott is a
professional guinea pig. After nearly a year on
unemployment, Lloyd discovered he could make money
volunteering for Phase One pharmaceutical drug clinical
trials, where drugs are tested for safety by giving them
to
subjects and studying the side effects. Every month,
Lloyd
meets up with a group of other guinea pigs to share
information on their clinical trials, but soon they learn
they’re getting a lot more than they bargained for…
Convulsions. Memory loss. Hallucinations. Drowsiness.
Vomiting. Sudden weight gain. These and other side
effects
affect them all—but rather than simply suffer the
consequences, the guinea pigs find they’re able to
project
these side effects onto others. And once they realize
this,
there’s no end to the ruckus they’ll cause using their
powers for good…or ill.
In a winning combination
of
pitch-perfect humor and biting social commentary, S.G.
Browne proves with Less than Hero that he is still
“one of America’s very best writers” (Jonathan Maberry).
