Toast to a Superhero

By D.F. Waugh

Malcolm is an unremarkable man... except for his superpower.

Malcolm's life, once mundane, spirals into chaos after he demonstrates his unique, if underwhelming, ability on a drunken night out. Suddenly, he draws the attention of corporate schemers, conspiracy theorists, and a secretive underground experiment.

With his quick-witted friend Andy and the electrically charged Chris Murray by his side, Malcolm is swept up in PR disasters, botched kidnappings, and a high-stakes heist at Dundee's V&A Museum.

This fast paced, engaging, speculative fiction novel is grounded in a modern, realistic, Scottish setting, where ordinary people encounter the extraordinary. With its mix of humour, suspense, and social commentary, it will appeal to readers who enjoy Irvine Welsh and Christopher Brookmyre. The blend of relatable characters and absurdity creates a Shaun of the Dead for the superhero fiction genre.

Warning: With strong language and mild threat (to a pet hamster) this novel is not suitable for younger audiences.
