What happens after the superhero takes the bad guy down?
Tom Jericho, prosecutor and former hero, is what happens. Wielding every ounce of his state-school law education, he puts villains behind bars. Well, most of them–hey, nobody wins them all.
But when the most villainous villain in the world is arrested for attempting to kill its most heroic hero, what should have been an open and shut case turns into a wild ride that uncovers a conspiracy forty years in the making—one which will rock the superhero world to its very core. Jericho is going to have to use every bit of his legal training – and most of his superpowers – to bring this case to a close and save Moderna City.
He's also going to have the best Reuben you’ve ever had while he does it. Trust me, you have got to try these things, they’re incredible.

“I always grab a sample first, and this one had me going to back to buy it faster than any other book I’ve ever read.”

"CAGES by Chris Pasley is a revelation -- taut, scary, and literate. Put on a pot of coffee, lock the doors, and keep your axe handy -- this book will get under your skin."
— Jay Bonansinga, NYT Bestselling author of THE WALKING DEAD: DESCENT
“The backdrop of the story and how the world became what it is, is just flat out awesome.”

As long as Sam can remember, adults have feared their children.
Since the Outbreak ten percent of all teenagers transform spontaneously and without warning into horrible, parasite-spreading Beasts. This monstrous tide threatened to destroy the world, but the survivors persevered and kept the parasite at bay by creating Quarantines, rigid prisons to hold their children through volatile puberty into the safety of adulthood.
For Sam, incarceration is freedom. The child of damaged Outbreak survivors, he relishes the day he can make his mark on the world. The tyrannical principal who would happily see him dead? A worthy adversary. His chemically-obsessed roommate who keeps trying to build a dirty bomb? A useful pawn. His own debilitating fear of becoming a monster himself? Well… he’s not really ready for that one.
Cages is a deceptively easy to read page-turner concealing a deep coming of age story. How do we develop our own identities among a sea of external influences? Will we take on our parents’ neuroses? Our brothers’ lost dreams? Or… will we go wild?
Chris Pasley
Chris got his start making Flash games at [Adult Swim] before branching out as a game director, producer and product manager for video games and other tech stuff. A transplant to California, he lives in Temecula with his family.
The thing most people remember about him is “oh wow, that guy is tall” but then when he meets people that are taller than him, it kinda ruins his self-image. So, maybe don’t mention it.
