About this ebook

Brandon Barker is a man of little talent. In fact, the only noticeable thing about him is his excessive height, which measures to over seven feet and inches. But this professional sidekick has a heart of pure gold, despite the fact that he's aging out of The Agency's Sidekick program before he gets promoted to his own Hero status. But when he meets the precocious Agency hacker named Kit Cassidy, Brandon's life starts to turn upside down.

With a new rise in Villainy and a heinous plot unfolding to control the world, Brandon and Kit are thrown together for the ride of their lives, where they think they don't belong...or do they? So join Brandon Barker, aka Lankyman and Kit Cassidy, aka Jet Lass as they strap on their rocket packs and fly face first into adventure! Hidden secrets, double identities and lot of humor make Lankyman a book not to be missed.

Written with the Golden Age of serials in mind, both in radio and television, Lankyman - A World Without Heroes follows the path of a seriously fun, campy, science fiction superhero adventure!
