Paul Tobin’s standalone novel Prepare to Die!, published in 2012, takes the superhero genre into prose fiction with a darkly funny premise. A hero named Reaver receives a deadline from his nemesis: twelve days to get his affairs in order before being killed. Rather than a final battle, the book follows Reaver as he revisits the people and places from his past.
The novel shows Tobin’s prose fiction abilities outside the middle-grade Genius Factor books. Prepare to Die! is a character study disguised as a superhero story, with the ticking clock adding urgency to what is really a book about memory, regret, and what matters when time runs out.
