| The novel centers around a virginal college boy, Ryan, who has the ability to turn into an insect at will. He keeps this "super power" hidden until he meets a sexual vixen at a local coffee shop. She goes by the name of Cassandra. As it turns out, Cassandra has the power to make things/ people disappear. The two join forces to fight against societal problems such as: cigarette campaigns, sexist behavior, and the prosecution of marijuana users by law enforcement.
In short, it's a parody of the expected behavior of superheroes. These heroes aren't much different than the regular citizens that they help. They don't fight people; they fight problems and issues that threaten society. Ryan or Fly Boy battles not only industry but also real problems like cancer and death. | ||
