Excellent period piece

I love a good period piece, and Heinrich brings one full of vigorous fun set in the late 50s/early 60s. These are not characters with world-shaking abilities; they're distinctively low-power, which means they can't simply resort to brute force to solving their problems. This is a great, street-level story about characters who are realized as people, not collections of powers. Crenshaw narrates masterfully, with a lively range that kept my interest all the way through. Recommended!

Heroes from the 'Hood

Three childhood friends are drawn to a life of vigilantism after they develop strange super powers in this complex story of super-soldier serums, designer drugs and family secrets.
There's plenty of action, lots of backstory to provide rationalization and justification for the characters and a little romance to keep them in touch with "normal" people. It's a well written foundation that leaves lots of loose ends to provide material for the coming sequels.
Generally a good story and I look forward to seeing where the author takes it.
