Soon I Will Be Invincible

Austin Grossman

Fatale just wants to be one of the gang. Not so easy, when you're a 6'2" female cyborg . . .

Doctor Impossible - evil genius, mad scientist, diabolical time-traveller and world dominator in waiting - has just broken out of prison. Again. After twelve thwarted plots (doomsday devices, mass mind-control, robot armies, insect armies, alien invasions, etc.) he's not about to be foiled again.

Fatale, a patchwork woman of skin and alloy built by the NSA to be the next generation of warfare, is suddenly given the chance every superhero dreams of: to join the Champions, the once-famous group of beautiful young superheroes who have been newly reunited to stop Doctor Impossible. Fatale becomes part of the team - but with its greatest hero missing, the members struggle with their damaged pasts as they come together in the face of unthinkable evil . . .

A wildly entertaining adventure of good and evil, featuring a cast of superheroes and supervillains with remarkably human emotions, and inhabiting a world strangely similar to our own.

Austin Grossman graduated from Harvard University in 1991 and became a video game designer at Looking Glass Studios. He is currently a freelance game design consultant and is studying for a PhD in English literature. He lives in Brooklyn.
