Fly Another Day is actually a pair of linked novellas that continue the story of Dave "Powerhouse" Johnson … in fact, they're so closely linked I wonder why there's a division. Anyway, Dave regains his powers and returns to fighting crime in Seattle. With the help of local churches, he replaces the criminal organizations with community centers and church missions. Then the real challenge comes up: liability law. He has to find a way to deal with that, so he can continue thwarting evildoers.
Challenging him is Mitch "Pharaoh" Farrow, a professional cynic working with interdimensional aliens bent on world domination. Mitch, however, has a noble ulterior motive: the aliens promise to heal his wife and daughter of a debilitating disease once control over earth has been established.
Fly Another Day continues the themes in Tales of the Dim Knight. Dave deals with different aspects of balancing his normal life with his superhero adventures. This time, his family is well aware of his alien-derived superpowers, but conflict arises when Dave's wife and kids try to help out in various ways.
Adam Graham continues with the comic book references, puns, and situational humor. "Rise of the Robolawyers," the second novella, also contains some funny references to fictional lawyers. The characters are amusing and well-balanced. Once again, even the bad guy has realistic motivations.
I enjoyed this one as much as the first, and I'm looking forward to reading the next installment of Powerhouse.

I felt the writing in this book was very disjointed. I kept reading until Chapter 9 then gave up - it never caught my interest.

If you're into fun comic book heroes, this is an enjoyable one. As another reviewer mentioned, this is a little bit like "The Incredibles". The author writes with a nice bit of humor (I especially enjoyed the cookbook bit! Lol!).
The biggest problem I found was that he didn't put any division between the changes of location and characters, which is confusing when you move from one paragraph to the next, with no idea that things have changed.
Dave and his family are very nice, and their alien live-in 'cook/superhero' friend adds to the fun. I like that the story has a great Christian slant, as well.
I'm curious to see where this story will continue on from here...the evil aliens, the french super hero, Dave's wife with her little secret...it should be interesting!
I was given a copy of this through Story Cartel in exchange for my honest review.

A fun read with lots of action and surprises. It's rare to find boy-centric books these days, especially ones that are clean enough to be mother approved. This book is one that I don't mind handing off to my son. He's enjoyed every book in the Powerhouse Series, and can't wait for the next one!
