Never Too Late For Heroes

Written by A.L. Brooks

Narrated by Abby Craden

This must-listen adventure with a side of romance is for lovers of tough, jaded lesbian cops, superheroes and villains, and feisty retirees who don't take retirement lying down.

Agent Geena Fox is counting down the days to her retirement. On one bittersweet day six years ago, her team of superheroes defeated Jewel, the world's most evil villain-but Geena's secret lover died in the process. Now her boss has assigned her a rookie partner, Leigh Walker, and that's the last thing Geena needs. She sends the woman off on a wild goose chase searching for a long-lost missing person to get her out of her sight. However, what Leigh finds will turn Agent Fox's world upside down.

Meanwhile, over in a retirement home in Missouri, four old women sharing the surname Power are arousing suspicion with their strange behavior. Their nosy nurse is convinced they are not what they seem. Geena and Leigh meet with the mysterious Powers, and realize the women might hold the key to stopping Jewel, once and for all.

Contains mature themes.

A.L. Brooks

A.L. Brooks currently resides in London, although over the years she has lived in places as far afield as Aberdeen and Australia. She works 9-5 in corporate financial systems and spends many a lunchtime in the gym attempting to achieve some semblance of those firm abs she likes to write about so much. And then promptly negates all that with a couple of glasses of red wine and half a slab of dark chocolate in the evenings. When not writing she likes doing a bit of Latin dancing, cooking, travelling both at home and abroad, reading lots of other writers’ les-fic, and listening to mellow jazz.

Reviews for Never Too Late For Heroes

[Lisa Boyer · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Very disappointed. The author writes characters in their 60's as if they are in their eighties. Found her portrayal of the age range insulting. None of my friends in their 60's lives in a retirement home, talks in shaky voices, etc. On the contrary, they're still working out, dancing, working, riding motorcycles, paddle boards, bicycles, surf board, kayaks, etc.

Full of action and humor. Really enjoyed it very much.

What a fun read! I loved the banter between the sisters, it was such a joy to liste to a story where the main characters are on the older side. It is a funny, action packed story, that we are robbed from in the movies.
