A young man returns home from war with horrific injuries; he has no face. Feeling hopeless and distraught, he only has his ‘mission’ to keep him going… In his backpack is a gun which he will use to kill the person who has wronged him.
Heroes is a novel with a genre which is hard to categorise. It is a gut-wrenching portrayal of the harsh realities of war. It is a tale of the magic created in first love. It is a journey of revenge and discovery. Most of all, it is an exploration of what actually makes a hero. As you journey with Francis Cassavant through the streets of French town, battle with him through war-torn France and experience the simple innocence of his childhood you will find yourself questioning whether one heroic act defines a hero or whether the world is full of heroes, quietly walking among us without declaring their accomplishments.
What about Francis himself? Will his ‘mission’ make him a hero? Or will it condemn him? Grab a copy to find out!
