About this listen
Richard Rogers was an ordinary man until he met the supergenius Dr. Nicolas Knowbokov. Now, trapped in a world that has no memory of him, Richard is an invisible, intangible ghost to everyone but Dr. Know and the scientist’s two sexy superheroine daughters, Rail Blade and the Thrill.
Assigned the code name Nobody, Richard becomes the world’s ultimate spy, invisibly battling the superpowered terrorist army run by the mysterious mastermind Rex Monday. The fate of the free world is at stake as the superhuman battles escalate, wiping entire cities from the map, threatening the survival of all mankind.
Who can save us from the looming apocalypse? Nobody!
Nobody Gets the Girl is a stand-alone novel that leads into further adventures! Check out Burn Baby Burn: A Supervillain Novel as Sundancer and Pit Geek go on a crime spree! Then, the action continues in Covenant as a team of superheroes struggling with dark pasts unite to face the threat of the mysterious terrorists known as the dervishes.
"Nobody Gets the Girl soars from the heart to the skies, from deeply personal to super-sized epic." (Jim Shooter)

The range of powers of the heroes and villains in this book were varied, mostly avoiding the usual mainstays of the comic book world or when using them doing so in a slightly different manner. However, the times when the focus shifted to a confrontation between the characters, the writing didn't quite manage to capture the visual nature inherent in an action scene so they didn't hold the attention as well as they might have done. The pacing of the book felt a little uneven too, building to a peak about half to two thirds of the way through before descending from there even with the main confrontation being later on in the book.
The narration was similarly a little mixed, the tone and style for each character was distinctive enough and helped to enhance the more character-focused parts of the book, but the pacing of the narration felt a little too slow in the action scenes where it felt like the focus was more on trying to convey the weightiness of a scene rather than the pace of it.
Overall, despite my slight criticisms, this was a book that I definitely enjoyed listening to, finishing it in only a few sittings and I will definitely look out for more from this author in the future.

What happens when no body knows you exist? Richard Rogers went to bed one night with a job, a wife and a life only to wake up the next morning In someone else's house, with no way of communicating and not even his parents having any knowledge of his existence. The only man who can see him, along with his two daughters, is the man that created the mess he finds himself in. So what do you do if no one can see you? Spy on women in locker rooms? Pretend to be a ghost? Travel around with the president? Sleep in the white house or the playboy mansion? Or do you join a super hero team and fight the monsters and evil villains that you have only seen on tv and always believed was made up using special effects? Of course doing that is never easy because not everything is black and white.
The narrator was very dramatic and was just right for a super hero book.
