What happens when… Superman hits a flock of geese? Batman loses the raspiness in his voice? Spider-man gets caught in his own web? Chances are you’ll run into them on Skid Row with Captain Freedom, protagonist in G. Xavier Robillard’s new novel, CAPTAIN FREEDOM (Harper; Trade Paperback; On Sale: February 3, 2009; $13.99), a satire about a disgraced superhero’s search for a new career, his true archenemy... and a girlfriend, by the award-winning writer of the hilarious blog, All Day Coffee. Tzadik Freidman (alias: Captain Freedom) has had it rough: first a fall from grace on the world stage, only to be followed up a disastrous dinner party and a fruitless goose chase for a sidekick to his help boost flagging comic book sales. Things start to hit the proverbial fan after Freedom does a stint in rehab and runs for political office. Robillard’s wild ride of satire riffs on celebrity, politics, Hollywood, the fashion world, upper management, current events and much more, including the beloved world of comic books. _______________________________________________ Click here if you want to browse inside the book. It sounds like a lot of fun! I'm going to see if I can get it on the Kindle. :) Speaking of the Kindle, I'm going to do a review tomorrow!
HarperCollins has graciously offered to send out a copy of the book "Captain Freedom" to 5 of my lucky readers.

It sounds like Mr M's kind of book.
If Superman hits a flock of geese, have no fear, Sully is here! Badumdum! Thank you, thank you! I'll be performing at the Copa Cabana room! (I think I'll keep my day job.)
Definitely sounds up Tim's alley, and I'm big on satire. So please do sign me up!
Very impressive that you brokered a deal for some free books! Way more initiative than I've shown...
I want a new book to read! Sign my up for the drawing. Thanks!
