With True Hero the author turns his attention to the superhero genre, imagining a world were those gifted individuals are not only real but appear in abundance. Jack Hessey's previous novel Steam Queen was firmly rooted in the steampunk genre, a wonderfully written tale of train based combat with a seriously impressive plot. When all the superhero and villain's super-powers disappear overnight Stella decides it is time to put aside her self-doubts and show the world that fraud or not, she can be a true hero. The truth though is that Stella is little more than average and it's by standing on her team mates shoulders that's gained her all the glory while they did most of the actual work.


Stella Stargirl has it all fame, fortune, countless adoring fans and a position in the world's best superhero team - The Empire, led by the super hero Lancaster.
