Learn moreIn a nation still recovering from the nuclear tragedies of forty years earlier, Clyde is working a dead-end guaranteed job at a diner, and Moonis is incarcerated in a Labor Camp for the Malcontented. But when Moonis’s sister, Cecily, goes missing, the old friends escape their prisons to search for her in post-fallout America.
Moonis and Clyde follow Cecily’s trail until it leads them into the atomic-ravaged heart of the Midwest, an outlaw territory of dark legends and darker truths where Cecily is being held captive by a brutal gang lord.
But along with menace and death, this poisoned wasteland contains the possibility of a freedom beyond imagination—if only Moonis and Clyde, and the misfits who join their quest, can find the heroism to grab hold of it.

Reviews
“A departure from the courtroom dramas longtime fans know him for, Guaranteed Heroes creates a chilling vision of a post-apocalyptic America, yet is populated with all-too-human characters forced to confront timeless challenges that will surely resonate with readers in today’s world.” —The Big Thrill
“Lashner has penned a compelling and unique novel in which he includes a number of historical influences like Louis Armstrong, Janis Joplin, and Dashiell Hammett. This diverse list demonstrates just how interesting Guaranteed Heroes is.” —Bookreporter
