Super hero friends are great. Except for the super villains trying to kill you.

Twenty-five years after the Vigilante returned to New Bedlam, their daughter has taken up the hero's mantle. Protecting the city from…wait, what are you–

Hi, Burke Hale here, interrupting whatever this is to tell you what this story is really about. It's about me and my super ninja hero ferret, Binky.

You see, I came home to my converted motel room apartment in the seediest part of town and found myself dead on the couch. Or some wickedly handsome dude who looked exactly like me. Because I wasn't dead. Though lots of people would be thrilled if I were dead.

The cops were already there, examining my–the other dude's–non-living body, and they were surprised to see me. Like, creepy ghost time surprised.

Then these other guys showed up from some super secret government organization. They whipped their guns out and…

That's when Binky the awesome ninja ferret kicked their posteriors.

Shortly after that things got weird.

Which is saying a lot for me.

I'm up to my eyeballs in trouble. So is Nora, my Vigilante hero girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend, technically, but I was working on changing that.

Except the bad guy keeps blowing things up and everything keeps twisting around on me. I don't know what's what anymore.

Then things get even more weird.

If I can't figure it out in time, everyone and everything I love is going to be as dead as that handsome guy on my couch.

Which would be really bad.

Vigilance's Apprentice, the next strange and thrilling chapter in the Bedlam's Heroes series.
