Today is the launch day for the paperback collection of Extension Squad by Rachel Scheller, illustrated by Heather Rose. It is a superhero story…told from the point of view of the outcasts of society. She describes her books as having “unlikely heroes, parkour, natural disasters, and cool fight scenes, all with a healthy dose of sewage splashed into the mix.” Which is very accurate.
Extension Squad is an original-English light novel series written by R. M. Scheller and illustrated by Heather Rose. This paperback collection includes the first three volumes, plus lots of bonus content between each one. Some of the bonus content includes mini comics, character art, and behind the scenes. I love the bonus content so much, it’s awesome!
The Summary
The law is simple: a life for a life, no matter the circumstances.
But society still has a use for killers. By doing the grunt work for the heroes, they can save up more time to live. It’s a vicious world of prisoners scrambling against each other, doing anything for another day to survive.
Austin’s life was never supposed to turn out that way. He was a hero in training, supposed to help people on the right side of the law. But when he finds himself thrown in with the cutthroats after killing in defense of another person, he must learn to navigate this new life while staying true to his ideals.
Content Note
This series does not feature explicit/adult content, but it does include intense features such as violence, abuse, systemic failure, and mental health crises. As such, the book is recommended to readers ages 14+.
