Fitting In
Fitting In: A Tor.com Original | Max Gladstone
1 post | 2 to read
For over 25 years, the Wild Cards universe has been entertaining readers with stories of superpowered people in an alternate history. "Fitting In" by Max Gladstone shows how everyday people can step up to become extraordinary. Robin Ruttiger tries -- he really does -- but his lot in life falls way shorter than his expectations. A failed contestant of the superhero reality TV show, American Hero, he now works as a high school guidance counselor to reluctant students. Things change, however, when a favorite bakery in Jokertown becomes a target of vandalism, and Robin realizes he can play the hero after all. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Pickpick

I had no idea about this 'Wild Cards' universe, but wow how cool! I've added the first in the series to #mountTBR because I found this short story about Robin, a lowkey superhero who can stretch, and his life in Jokertown (where all the people who end up with disfiguring super "powers" end up) very entertaining and endearing.
