So your parents are superheroes.....without having superpowers yourself, all that seems to get you is a permanent front row seat for the kidnapping plans of the less-brilliant members of the local criminal class. At least that's the premise of After the golden age, which follows the adventures of the accountant daughter of renowned crime fighters.
Unfortunately, the summary is better than the book. Okay, just to be clear, my summary may not be better than the book, but After the golden age doesn't live up to it's potential. It's not a bad read, it just could have been better.
If you want a truly funny satire, read Heroics for Beginners by John Moore. Even modern adventure fiction will never be the same again afterwards.
