Imperial

Mark is two weeks removed from his father's cremation. Mark is two weeks
away from his marriage to the woman he loves. Mark has just been picked to be
the only super-powered being on Earth... Imperial. Mark has some tough choices
to make.
An average-to-below-average guy who thought his biggest problems would be
slinging dad's ashes, learning how to waltz, and fitting into his tux for
the Big Day suddenly finds that his list includes unexpected additions, like
slinging super-powered punches, learning how to fly, and fitting into a spandex
uniform. Add to that mix delaying laser-eye-beam training to pick the least
offensive reception DJ and trying to convince earth's protector that s'mores are
superior to viewing the rings of Saturn, and Mark and Imperial may have met
their respective matches. But what exactly is the magic formula for
"champion"?
Imperial tracks one man's transformation of the other into something
remarkable - but it may not be the journey either expected. A buddy book
with commitment issues, Imperial is a heroic, romantic comedy that
invites a fresh new look at the tried and true "passing the mantle" mythology
