Ebook About “This book is fast, furious, compelling, and angry as hell." -- Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author The Boys meets My Year of Rest and Relaxation in this smart, imaginative, and evocative novel of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, told with razor-sharp wit and affection, in which a young woman discovers the greatest superpower—for good or ill—is a properly executed spreadsheet. Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn’t glamorous. But is it really worse than working for an oil conglomerate or an insurance company? In this economy? As a temp, she’s just a cog in the machine. But when she finally gets a promising assignment, everything goes very wrong, and an encounter with the so-called “hero” leaves her badly injured. And, to her horror, compared to the other bodies strewn about, she’s the lucky one.So, of course, then she gets laid off.With no money and no mobility, with only her anger and internet research acumen, she discovers her suffering at the hands of a hero is far from unique. When people start listening to the story that her data tells, she realizes she might not be as powerless as she thinks.Because the key to everything is data: knowing how to collate it, how to manipulate it, and how to weaponize it. By tallying up the human cost these caped forces of nature wreak upon the world, she discovers that the line between good and evil is mostly marketing. And with social media and viral videos, she can control that appearance.It’s not too long before she’s employed once more, this time by one of the worst villains on earth. As she becomes an increasingly valuable lieutenant, she might just save the world.A sharp, witty, modern debut, Hench explores the individual cost of justice through a fascinating mix of Millennial office politics, heroism measured through data science, body horror, and a profound misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.Book Hench: A Novel Review :
You know a book is good when you put it down after finishing a four-hour marathon read from beginning to end and simply go, “Wow.”I have always loved stories about imperfect people, especially in a superhero context. Stories that explore the grey areas of personality and the fact that very rarely is someone all good or all bad. Very rarely does a villain not have some kind of backstory that explains why they’ve made the choices they have. Hench is just one such exploration, and Walschots does it masterfully. I hate to compare Hench to other things, but if I had to go with modern literary sales pitches, I’d say it is Megamind meets The Boys.Atmospherically, the book is kind of dark, without straying into grimdark. It’s not a warm-fuzzies kind of story. But to balance the darkness, Walschots weaves in wry humor and thoughtfulness that is so kind it’s almost painful, knowing that that kind of kindness might just be the most fantastical element of the whole story.The characters all feel like real people, the kind of people who end up in places they maybe didn’t expect, but one way or another here they are because bills have got to be paid. Anna is very relatable, and I can really sympathize with parts of her story.But what I really loved, was that it’s practically competence porn. Shows like The West Wing are enjoyable to me because I love witnessing excellent people do excellent things. There’s nothing more satisfying than a job well done. And Anna is very competent. It’s a dream watching Anna accomplish many things, and do it all beautifully well. That’s not to say she’s perfect, mistakes aren’t made and everything goes without a hitch – what a boring book that would be. But Anna is good at what she does.Hench is such a good read. I laughed and cringed and couldn’t put the book down as I raced the clock to the end. And even once I was done, my mind just kept chewing on this scene or that. It’s so good. What if it was up to the villains to save the world from the heroes? Call it a satirical impulse if you like, but what the author of this amazing debut novel is arguing is that we live in a world so far beyond satire that even our fantasies have become meaner and more desperate.Anna, our narrator and millenial Everywoman, is living hand to mouth as a temp worker; her latest assignment, as an assistant to a second-rate supervillain, ends when the World's Greatest Hero steps in, leaving several people dead and Anna disabled, unemployed, and effectively homeless. With nothing to do except the math, she logs on, crunches the numbers for days, and asks: Aren't superheroes more like natural disasters than persons? Don't their actions literally create more problems than they solve?The novel charts Anna's evolution from crackpot conspiracy theorist to arch-nemesis, and the quiet miracle of HENCH is that it manages to make the choice of embracing the dark side seem perfectly reasonable (organized evil sure does have good medical benefits). Note, too, how Anna's supervillain name, first hurled at her as a sexist insult, then taken up as an office joke, eventually becomes a name even her enemies respect. You gotta love that.There's a lot to enjoy here, not least the novel's diversity -- the cast is full of nonwhite, queer, and nonbinary characters -- but also the way the story is built on a philosophical foundation of the problem of evil. That's a problem (liberated from its theological context) of value judgments, free will, and right and wrong actions. Objectively: how many lives (innocent or not) and livelihoods do superheroes cost? Subjectively: what if the line between good and evil is a matter of marketing?The geeky comic book fans of forty and fifty years ago now run the entertainment industry, and I'm surprised only at how few prose novels about the superhero milieu ever get noticed outside of an SF niche. The last one to get mainstream exposure that I remember, Austin Grossman's SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE (2007), stil follows what you might call "the unwritten rules," in which superbeings can bust up a city block in a fight without inflicting a single civilian casualty, and there's certainly no one tallying up that story's property damage and job losses. Grossman's novel was probably supposed to be seen as a satire, but as I said, we live in a world beyond satire. Graphic novels like WATCHMEN, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, and WANTED (I don't mean the insipid movies that went by those titles) demonstrate that when you do add up the civilian casualties, your superhero satire turns into a horror story.Maybe the lesson of HENCH is that nothing beats the power of rage, except rage coupled with brains. Or is it that nothing damns us more deeply than the longing for a better world? It's a grim little fantasy, perfect for our grim little times.
