Billy B is the main character of the novel Working Class Hero: The Autobiography of Billy B., A Hyper Human, written by James Robert Smith
"WORKING CLASS HERO is James Robert Smith's best novel since the Hollywood-optioned THE FLOCK. James expertly weaves blue collar superhero sensibilities into our modern world. The characterization is outstanding, and the world building is first rate as always.
The concept of regulated super heroes working for the government, and non-regulated super heroes as "outlaws" is a lot of fun. This juxtaposition allows for some fine entertainment and thrilling scenarios.
I was highly entertained by this novel, and the sensitive depiction of Bill B. Billy is an alpha 2.0, with a powerful level of self-awareness, a rare thing in a super hero tale. Mostly we get the brawn or snark in super hero books or films. We get much more in Working Class Hero.
James twists and turns the reader through heroes, villains, and various agencies, resulting in a gripping read and a very satisfying conclusion.
