    About this audiobook

    In a nation still recovering from the nuclear tragedies of forty years earlier, Clyde is working a dead-end guaranteed job at a diner, and Moonis is incarcerated in a Labor Camp for the Malcontented. But when Moonis’s sister, Cecily, goes missing, the old friends escape their prisons to search for her in post-fallout America.

    Moonis and Clyde follow Cecily’s trail until it leads them into the atomic-ravaged heart of the Midwest, an outlaw territory of dark legends and darker truths where Cecily is being held captive by a brutal gang lord.

    But along with menace and death, this poisoned wasteland contains the possibility of a freedom beyond imagination—if only Moonis and Clyde, and the misfits who join their quest, can find the heroism to grab hold of it.

      Guaranteed Heroes by William Lashner is an intriguing & thought-provoking book. It was slow starting but picked up the pace & the characters were well developed. I gave it four stars.I will remember Moonis Fell, Cecily Fell, Clyde Sparrow & Garth for a long time. Each character had individual strengths & weaknesses that were clearly delineated."This side of the river is a vacuum in which the worst impulses of humanity have been left to fester & grow." Garth told Cecily who was also known as 'Raden's Girl'.Moonis & Gaston got into a fight over playing chess. "The smell of body odor & tobacco, of men confined together in hatred & despair was well-nigh overwhelming as it mixed with the men's cheers & curses."The forced labor camp: "The LCM was surrounded by a tall chain-link fence topped by barbed wire, but that couldn't keep out the stars. Sometimes looking up at the distant heavens was the only way to feel free in this world."Cecily said: "I think the cruelest thing is to have expectations in your life. When they get snuffed out, you never really recover."When Clyde was looking for Cecily in the Ventura district ..."Clyde stayed leaning against the wall, chewing & loitering, letting the sun lick his face like a happy puppy."William Lashner is a word master & I have enjoyed his writing for years. This was a different style for him but now I have a book hangover from it.I received a complimentary copy from Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley. That did not change my opinion for this review.
