Goon

by Michael Castilla, M.R. Castilla

In a world with superheroes, agents, masked vigilantes and global criminal syndicates, this story follows the life of a low level career goon named Blaze and his arduous climb up the criminal ladder. Through his journey he learns to manage staff, host team meetings, and faces off against sidekicks, and competing supervillains. With a low budget he hires an eclectic crew of misfits that include a young and arrogant computer hacker, a cyborg with impulse control issues, and Joe. Just plain Joe. For years Blaze worked for organized crime, gangs, and that one time with a ninja clan. For the first time he gets a promotion! He rises above the street level mook that gets kicked through the window by the masked vigilantes and becomes the associate that either succeeds in capturing the hero, or attempts to flee in an epic car chase. This is an action packed series that gives the reader the thrilling view of the superhero genre from the perspective of the Goon.

Promising, but needs editing

This is a fun read, quite promising, but needs serious editing, once it gets edited this should be rather good…

Fun Book, worth the romp

Fast paced and fresh view of the rise of a henchman, aka Goon. I enjoyed the fight scenes - felt cinematic.
