If he succeeds in killing the Lucky Sevens own mage Stratocaster, the Archmages power will become absolute and plunge the world into darkness under his cruel reign.But not if Mustang Sally and the rest of the Just Cause superheroes have anything to say about it.OUT OF TIMEOnly time will tell if Sally can run fast enough to escape the Archmages clutches, fast enough to outwit his evil plan, fast enough to save the world.Praise for JUST CAUSE, the first book in the Just Cause Universe seriesIan Healys Just Cause is a slam-bang good superhero story: part JLA, part Young Romance, with some splashes of Our Army at War to keep you on your toes. I thoroughly enjoyed Mustang Sallys adventure and look forward to reading more of Healys work.-Rob Rogers, author of Devils CapeIan Healys Just Cause is solid, serious superhero action in the classic tradition, with tons of interesting characters, extremely well-crafted action scenes, and real depth. Highly recommended.-Van Allen Plexico, author of The SentinelsThe best thing about Ian Healys books is the accessibility of their worlds and characters. He welcomes us in and takes us for a fun and memorable ride, and unlike other superhero universes, we never feel like the understanding of an entire mythology is out of our grasp-or would take thousands of reading hours to accomplish.-Allison M. Dickson, author of The Last SupperMr. Healy clearly loves superhero fiction. He has taken tried and true superhero tropes, made them his own, and crafted an excellent world, story, and characters. I highly recommend.-Corey L. Bishop, Creative Commoners podcast Ian Healys Just Cause is a great superhero book because it creates a world that is so close to our own we almost think that maybe these things did/are really happening, its just that we dont live in the right city, and dont maybe have that special brick touch pattern to get us to Diagon Alley.-Jenn Zuko, Nerds in BabelandIt almost feels like youre watching a movie instead of reading a book when the superheroes are battling the villains.-Megan Bostic, author of Never Eighteen
