A tale that borrows freely from the satirical sensibility of Catch-22, the comic adventure of The Princess Bride and the complex heroes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Confederated Justice follows Captain Major's impossible attempts to protect her city, survive her secret identity's mind-numbing office job and raise her kids. The story delivers soft-core nerdery at its finest, with nods to Galaga, Settlers of Catan and super hero tropes from The X-Men #1 to Man of Steel.
Captain Major is a mid-level special resource in the Confederated Justice portfolio, Metroville branch. Her career is at a plateau when she has the opportunity to help the city's greatest hero. Her efforts lead directly to the worst performance review in Confederated Justice history, then set off a series of events that put the entire city in danger.
Captain Major can't focus solely on saving her city, because Dee Major has to manage the rest of her life without the aid of her super powers. Dee Major suffers through an office job that serves no purpose at all and a husband who serves even less. Her teenage children are struggling through adolescence, with the older dealing with bullies and the younger maturing into powers of her own.
It's a story that refuses to take itself seriously but works very hard to make the reader laugh.
Confederated Justice includes language and themes likely to be appropriate for those fourteen years and older.
