How to succeed in evil

Secret Six

How about a novel heavily inspired by comic books? Confessions of a D-List Supervillain might be up your alley.

Not sure what age range you're interested in but if your inner child enjoys super heroes I heavily recommend Confessions of a D List Supervillain. It's a story for adults with childish fun, the protagonist is a failed villain trying to save a world ruined by the heroes; there's plenty of underdog action and though I haven't read the sequels, they exist too.

I have Flowertown and Confessions of a D-List Super Villain that can be lent. Both were very good. I'm sure there are many others, but it is so hard to search for the lendable titles on Amazon!

EDIT: Adding more lendable SF titles - only adding books that I liked a lot.

The Forever War

The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy, 2011

Bob Moore, No Hero - this is currently free in kindle store

The Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson

Warbreaker

The God Engines

13 Bullets

Agent to the Stars

Old Man's War

There's a lot of great authors publishing independently(self and small press) now, but it can be hard to pick the ones you'll enjoy out of the flood of new releases on Amazon. I'll link to a few of the authors and books I've enjoyed.

Super hero novels

The Blackjack novels by Ben Bequer are fun.

I also enjoyed Confessions of a D-List Supervillian by Jim Bernheimer. They share similar themes of a super-villain forced out of their comfort zone.

Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain by Richard Roberts is the start of a great young adult series about the daughter of super heroes charting her own path.

Fantasy and SF

Anything by Andrea K Höst is great. The Touchstone series is great comfort reading about a young woman who walks around a corner and ends up in another world. It's the most SF of her works.

Terry Mancours' Spellmonger series is a fun fantasy about a mage who retires to the backwoods but ends up in the center of a continent spanning conflict. It spends a lot of time on the details of living in a fantasy world, but there's plenty of action too.

John Conroe's Demon Accords is a contemporary fantasy about a cop turned holy warrior. Fun action/fantasy, a couple of the books focus on side characters for a change of pace.

Jack L. Knapp has a couple enjoyable SF series. I'm partial to his New Frontiers series about the rediscovery of a space drive technology and humanities expansion in to the solar system.

Military SF

Marko Kloos is great as mentioned by others.

Christopher Nutall has a ton of books, both SF and fantasy(I tend to prefer his fantasy).

Might be. Might be.

See I consider stuff like these indie books:

Other People's Heroes

Confessions of a D-List Supervillain

Eye of the Wizard

Paranormals

Brave Men Run

When I got these they were Kindle Only :)

My last track meet was 2 weeks ago. I literally spent the entire day thinking about how I would do! All throughout the schoolday I'd be talking to my friends about it, and kept trying to keep myself hyped! I beat my personal record by about 10 seconds in the mile! (~5:31 to 5:20)

Just can't wait! I'd like this ebook if I win, please :)

Funny you should ask. I'm a novelist in this genre as well, and I've done a bit of research on the market. As you might imagine, this is a fairly niche space. I'd probably be making more money if I wrote vampire romances, but you gotta write what you love, right?


Anyhow, the advice about the Fantasy>Superheroes category on Amazon is real good. There are a lot of books directly tied to licensed properties, like DC and Marvel characters, but I can't tell you much about those since I work in my own universe. There are also excellent lists on GoodReads. Here are some of the examples I used to figure out my keywords and categories (I haven't read any of these yet, but they're on my list):


Soon I will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman. I hear this is awesome.

Confessions of a D-List Supervillain by Jim Bernheimer.

Good Intentions: A Supervillain Story by Michel Crider.

Meta by Tom Reynolds.

The Second Super by Logan Rutherford.

ULTRA (The Last Hero Book 1) by Matt Blake.


And, I hope this isn't a violation of the self-promotion rules (if it is, please let me know and I'll edit this out), but I can't help but add my own novel, The Hero Beat!

Confessions of a D-list Supervillian by Jim Bernheimer, which exactly what it sounds like and is great.

Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw follows an npc in an mmorpg that has gained sentience. My girlfriend hated this book because I kept waking her up with my laughing.

Bad Humors by Aaron Wright is a phenomenal novella that is kind of a cross between SF, fantasy, and a Lovecraftian Mythos.
