From the USA Today bestselling author of Sara's Game, this is SUPER, a unique blend of superhero fiction and crime thriller.

"Impossible to put down until you know the answers. Exciting, thrilling, and full of deception, this is one of my favorite books of the year."
- Jason Gurley, bestselling author of Greatfall

"Every hero's journey has a beginning, middle, and end...I am that end."

A world mourning a fallen superhero.

A president targeted for assassination.

A conspiracy that runs deeper than anyone suspects.

Leo Craft is the best at what he does; he assassinates superheroes, but only the ones who deserve it. Life is good, simple, until an ultra-secretive government agency hires Leo to execute two impossible tasks: eliminate the world's foremost superhero, Patriotman, and hunt down a fellow assassin whose target is the President of the United States.

When everyone wears a mask, trust is hard to come by - and even the elusive truth can be caught in a web of lies.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Additional praise for the work of Ernie Lindsey

For Skynoise

"With Skynoise, Ernie Lindsey shows why he is one of the most compelling and dynamic indie writers out there. Earlier this year, I found "Super," which turned the superhero genre on its ear, and in "Skynoise," Lindsey takes the sci-fi trope of time travel and twists a good yarn through years of mysteries and bread crumbs." --Will Swardstrom, author of Dead Sleep

"Ernie Lindsey weaves a fantastic Time Travel thriller that's part X-Files and all fun. It's tense, taut and reads like you're trying to catch your breath as he piles mystery on top of intrigue and serves with a perfect slice of humor. This year's best time travel story and a fun escapist read that has you rooting for the good guys. This book is why Lindsey is a solid master in the making." --Nick Cole, author of Soda Pop Soldier

"If you love [time travel science fiction], filled with action and bone-jarring twist and turns, you won't want to miss Skynoise." --Josh Hayes, author of Second Star: Breaking Through

For How White People Die

"[How White People Die] is both literary and accessible at the same time. An intense and sometimes funny southern cop drama that dares you to figure out what is going on. However you classify it, it's terrific." --Michael Bunker, author of Pennsylvania

Hands down, the best book I've read this year!

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014

Oh, you had a tough day at the office? Try killing Superheroes for a living.

Meet Leo Craft, superhero assassin extraordinaire. Leo specializes in taking out the elite heroes that everyone else on the planet love and adore. Why, do you ask? Because they deserve it that’s why.

Some heroes do, indeed, where masks. Some lie, cheat, and steal and these are the heroes that Leo is paid to eliminate.

His latest job, however, has taken a toll for the worse and now he is under the gun. Killing the world’s most beloved hero has painted a bull’s eye on Leo's back and If he doesn’t uncover the truth about who set him up, and why, the entire system could come crashing down around him.

Ernie Lindsey’s Super is truly a one-of-a-kind thriller.

Originally, I was attracted to the book by the cover. This thing is amazing. Shout out to Adam Hall of Atom Creative [...], this is one of the coolest covers I’ve seen and I really hope we get to see more of his work.

Now, I do a lot of reading, and over the past several months, I have read my share of good, not-so-good, and horrible books. Super is flat out…super. Okay, fine, cheesy…blah, blah, blah, it was fraking fantastic. From the opening page, I was hooked.

A lot of novels grab you from the first line, get you interested, then kind of just leave you hanging until something interesting happens. Super grabs you with every chapter. Every time I finished one, I felt compelled to read the next. The snarky and witty protagonist makes every page fun to read. I can’t count the number of times I laughed aloud while reading this book.

Super is a fine example of how books can keep you on the edge of your seat. There are a lot of “suspense thrillers” out there, but a lot of their “suspense” feels forced. Books where every time a big secret is about to be revealed a pack of wild dogs jump in through the skylight and blast away with collar mounted laser guns. Whatever, it could happen. Super feels natural and flows very well.

When the big “and-the-plot-thickens” twist happens, I literally had to put the book down and walk away. Mind blown. After making several laps around the living room and high-fiving myself several times, I came back and frantically continued reading.

Long story, longer, you need to read this book.

Super was an absolute pleasure to read!

Super was definitely a super read and welcome addition to superhero fiction

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014

Good superhero novels are rare. In a rapidly growing collection of novels, there are a few great ones (Ex-Heroes, Soon I Will Be Invincible), some good ones and some that are absolute crap (most of the novels and novelizations from DC and Marvel, sadly). Super is definitely one of the good ones. Great protagonist and a few neat twists. Editing was the only thing that suffered as the book jumped from past to present in a choppy fashion at some points but fans of superhero fiction should definitely add Super to their collection. A great read overall.

A Darn Good Super Book

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2014

What I would have liked to know before I bought this book. (no spoilers)

1. What type of book is it: action, drama, etc? This is a superhero espionage spy thriller. It has a ton of twists and hidden turns.

2. What is the story about, in general? The story is about Leo the assassin, a man who spends his time killing superheroes that have gone secretly bad. When he successfully assassinates the greatest American superhero of his time, there are consequences.

3. What/Who is the target audience? This is one of those books that I have a hard time categorizing well. I think young adults (18+) and adult (25+) men will find this story compelling. Those who enjoy a very good twisty story with a lot of intrigue will do to.

4. Is there character development? Yes. No one is who they seem to be. Everyone has a background, a secret, or is protecting someone who does. Almost every character has a magnificent duality of purpose and role within the story.

5. Are the characters likable? With one or two exceptions, I loved the characters. They are vibrantly flawed and also have great qualities as well. It was such a strange set of circumstances, and such a strange set of interesting personages that I had a difficult time putting the book down AFTER 45 percent of the book had gone by. Why is that 45 percent important? Before that critical point in the story, the book felt bland, uninteresting and I was ready to shrug at the one dimensional boring nature of the characters. After that point, threads suddenly come together in ways I hadn't even expected and character duality and depth was revealed.

6. Does the story keep its pacing? I am extremely critical of flashbacks and this book has many of them. For the first 45 percent of the book, I wondered what use were those god awful flashbacks. One of them had provided information I was interested in, the others felt like wastes of time. I was ready to put the book down and move on. 10 percent more and my eyebrows hit my hairline. Son of a gun. The flashbacks made sense! They became useful, important, even necessary! This became one of the few reads where flashbacks entertained me! My surprise was monumental. That was followed with continuous plot twists. I almost did not see any of the hits coming. For me, being completely surprised is the `mana' of reading. Excellent execution.

7. Do you have to suspend disbelief? Besides it being a superhero story, no. In fact, most of the `superheroes' aren't really that invulnerable or ridiculous. The names are hokey but the story simply isn't.

8. Is the book worth the asking price? Yes. The price is worth it. I did not feel I wasted a cent.

In conclusion: This is, by far, one of the most interesting stories I've read this year. It has intrigue, action, adult romance, adult considerations, realistic consequences and good surprises. I wish the read had engaged me earlier in its pages, as the feeling of extreme dissatisfaction with the first half of the book tainted the rest of my reading experience. It could have used a little better delivery, but the plot remained very smart. I did not detect spelling errors, which means I probably was so engrossed in the read that I didn't notice them. The ebook price is modicum. Some people might get fed up early and hate the book, some will simply not like the way it was composed. I am not one of them. Very good read.

A fun read, plenty of twists and turns, and a premise not often discussed in comics, how do you control people with superpowers? Ernie Lindsey has a good answer to that question. Check it out.

Pretty decent little book, but it sort of fell apart for me in the end. Characters were developed as much as they can be in such a short book. Likeable main character, too. The problem is it seemed to end in a bit of a mess.

Light read, very funny. Loved every page!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018

A novel hasn't made me laugh like this in some years. An indi-novel from a talented hand. The characters are great, dialog is great, and nothing remains the same for more than a couple of pages. Just about every chapter ends with a hilarious twist in the plot! This is a short book. It won't take long to read. I couldn't put it down. From the first lines on page 1 Lindsey drops the reader into an absurd world without explaining anything. But anyone (at least any American) who hasn't lived in a cave for the past 30 years will get the cultural references immediately and the twists and turns in the book just keep getting funnier.

OK, OK, I know... I haven't told you anything about the story at all... The problem is, if I did, I'd probably be ordered to kill you and I couldn't say no cause the money's too good! Read it when you need a side splitting break from the real world!
