Review: Lois Lane: Cloudy with a Chance of Destruction by Gwenda Bond

This was a VERY short novella to go with the book about Lois Lane by Gwenda Bond that comes out this month.  I was very excited to see this on Netgalley and immediately downloaded it thanks to Capstone Publishing.  Of course then I was disappointed to find it was just a short story.  It is still a good one, one that makes me very eager to read the book.

It's about Lois Lane as a teen, she's just moved with  her father who is in the military.  She's used to being new and not having a lot of friends right away.  But in Chemistry class she is at a table right near a couple that is bickering. And in order to get his girlfriend back, the boy brings a box from his dad who is a scientist at the nuclear facility.  A box that turns out to be something that could be the solution to cold fusion.  And he sets it off in class.  So Lois has to figure out a way to stop it and save the class, and the school.

It's short, sweet, and to the point.  She is talking to SmallvilleGuy online as a friend.  Doesn't know who he is, even though she talks to him and asks him every day.  They met through an online board that was about unexplained happenings like UFOs, or similar.

Very excited to read the full length book, Lois Lane:  Fallout.  I have loved this authors other stories, so am really even more eager after this teaser.

Waiting on Wednesday - Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we're eagerly awaiting.  This is a first in a new series by an author that I enjoyed the one book of hers that I've read so far, Blackwood.  I think it will be interesting to see the Superman story done in a different way, from the viewpoint of Lois Lane.  Now I'm sure there are probably comic books out there that have already done this, but I'm excited for this book.  Here's the blurb from Goodreads.com:

Lois Lane is starting a new life in Metropolis. An Army brat, Lois has lived all over—and seen all kinds of things. (Some of them defy explanation, like the near-disaster she witnessed in Kansas in the middle of one night.) But now her family is putting down roots in the big city, and Lois is determined to fit in. Stay quiet. Fly straight. As soon as she steps into her new high school, though, she can see it won’t be that easy. A group known as the Warheads is making life miserable for another girl at school. They’re messing with her mind, somehow, via the high-tech immersive videogame they all play. Not cool. Armed with her wit and her new snazzy job as a reporter, Lois has her sights set on solving this mystery. But sometimes it’s all a bit much. Thank goodness for her maybe-more-than-a friend, a guy she knows only by his screenname, SmallvilleGuy.


So that's what I'm waiting on this week.  How about you?
