An Encounter in Atlanta

by Ed Howdershelte

This is essentially an adolescent masturbatory fantasy about how great it would be if girls thought your weirdness was cool and you were a secret agent who could kill people without getting excited and also supergirl came and had sex with you at a science fiction convention and then licking her super-snatch really well made you super too, and then supergirl didn't even mind if you had sex with other girls, and even brought you a hot one you really liked!

Aside from that, the prose is clumsy and didactic and plodding, the characters completely flat and unbelievable, the villains puppets, and the plotting nonexistent.

(Sorry for the poor review; it feels like the author enjoyed writing it. But publication opens one to criticism, and this badly needed an editor who would say: no!)
