Fid's Crusade (The Chronicles of Fid Book 1)

by David Reiss (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
"One of the most refreshing and lively takes on the superhero genre I’ve seen in years."

-- Hugo award-winning author Tim Pratt

Even supervillains have lines they dare not cross.

If only the same could be said of heroes...

For more than two decades, the sight of Doctor Fid's powered armor has struck terror into the hearts of hero and civilian alike. But when a personal tragedy motivates Doctor Fid to investigate a crime, a plot is uncovered so horrific that even he is taken aback. Haunted by painful memories and profound guilt, the veteran supervillain must race against time if he is to have any hope of confronting the approaching threat. Every battle takes its toll...but the stakes are too high for retreat to be an option.

Read the supervillainous sci-fi action-thriller that is the winner of the 'Science-Fiction / Fantasy / Horror' category in the 2018 Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize, a finalist in the 13th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards, and a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fid's Crusade is an entertaining read because of its cynical - yet optimistic - lead character, and an innovative superhero universe all its own.It's tough to create an original perspective on superheros, but Reiss has done so here, establishing an entertaining and multi-faceted character in Dr. Fid, and a solid foundation for a new series." - Self-Publishing Review
"Simply a delight - smart, funny, engaging, and with satisfying plot twists that even surprised a jaded reader like me." - Locus Magazine, Feb. 2019
"Brainy, snarky Doctor Fid is as likable as a supervillain gets. This book offers an energetic, ridiculously fun storyline that will feel like the "adult" version of Despicable Me." - The BookLife Prize
"A powerful bad guy with moral standards who's well-rounded and highly entertaining." - Kirkus Reviews
"David H Reiss presents a humorous and intelligently-written take on the superhero genre that's well grounded in adult thriller and conspiracy fiction (...) Overall, I'd definitely recommend Fid's Crusade as an innovative homage to superhero fiction that elevates storytelling for the modern age." - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite (5 star review)
"Fid's Crusade by David H. Reiss is one of the most refreshing and lively takes on the superhero genre I've seen in years. His title character's crusade is colorful, compelling, and takes wonderfully unexpected turns, and the novel delivers an impressive emotional punch (to go along with the super-powered ones). It stands easily alongside other character-driven superhero novels like Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible, Carrie Vaughn's After the Golden Age, and Paul Tobin's Prepare to Die!." - Hugo award-winning author Tim Pratt

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

While growing up, David was that weird kid who always had his nose in a book and his head in the clouds. He was the table-top role-playing game geek, the comic-book nerd, the storyteller and dreamer.

Fortunately, he hasn’t changed much.

David Reiss is a software engineer by trade and long-time sci-fi and fantasy devotee by passion, and he resides in Silicon Valley with his partner of thirty years. Also, until recently, a disturbingly spoiled cat named Freya.

Farewell, tiny huntress. You were loved. You are missed.

Two new cats - Colby and Jackie - have since infiltrated the household and now rule their domain with iron paws.
