Glory Bandits
They used to save the world. Now, they just want to save their retirement.
Iris Vane (The Prism) can bend light to become invisible, but these days, she mostly uses her hands to cut stained glass-when her arthritis permits. Bennett Stone (The Anchor) once stopped a runaway train with his chest; now, he struggles to stand up from a soft chair. Chloe Mars (The Siren) could shatter tanks with her voice, but she's currently stuck in a "quiet hours" assisted living facility. And Leo Pendergast (The Suit)? He's just a retired accountant with a very strict budget.
Together, they were The Shade, the city's greatest superhero team. But that was thirty years ago.
When a corrupt tech billionaire named Silas Vane legally steals the "Heroes' Haven" pension fund, wiping out the life savings of hundreds of retired defenders, the team realizes that the old way of fighting won't work. You can't punch a bank transfer.
Broke, angry, and refusing to fade away, they decide to do the one thing superheroes aren't supposed to do: commit a crime.
Their mission? Infiltrate the most high-tech, high-security server farm in the city and steal back their $287 million.
The obstacles? Laser grids, mercenary armies, and their own bad knees.
The plan? A heist involving a beige 1998 sedan, a tactical flashlight, and a humidifier disguised as a quantum computer.
Glory Bandits is a hilarious, heartwarming, and thrilling adventure about friendship, justice, and the undeniable fact that while heroes may get old, they never expire.
