Product Description:
Their entire relationship is founded on a secret. Now that secret is in jeopardy. In this exciting new novel, award-winning author C. J. Cherryh takes us deep into the private lives and thrilling adventures of Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and the world?s most famous super hero, Superman.
Where is Superman when you need him?
The Daily Planet offices rumble in the aftershock of an enormous explosion. As Lois Lane stares through the settling dust, a terrifying sight takes shape: the high-rise hotel down the street has completely collapsed. Hundreds of people are trapped inside, including an entire children?s soccer team. And Superman, the guardian of Metropolis and the love of her life, is half a world away.
Even with his super powers, Superman can?t be everywhere at once. As he struggles desperately to save a village threatened by a bursting dam, Lois races through the pandemonium of the collapsed hotel, throwing herself into the rescue effort—and emerging a hero. Not just a reporter anymore, suddenly she is a celebrity caught in the glare of national media attention. Recognized everywhere and hounded constantly by the press, nothing in her life will ever be the same again . . . including her relationship with Clark Kent.

I grew up reading the Superman comics and watching the television show starring George Reeves. Therefore, there were aspects of this novel that were both more realistic yet mildly disturbing. In the area of more realistic, Superman and Lois are presented as real people with emotions. Lois is frustrated and emotionally distraught when Superman is off in Soviet Georgia saving hundreds of people when she wants him to be with her. When a hotel collapses and people die, Lois rescues a boy and people ... Read More

Luckily, as far as this book goes it is pretty far away from the other Lois & Clark type books. It is much more of a straight Superman adventure. This, as far as reading the thing goes, is most definitely a good thing.
Cherryh does a reasonable job of handling Superman doing one thing, and Lois another, as usually happens. If you are a Superman book fan and see this somewhere really cheap, you may as well grab it.

I'd read some of the other Lois & Clark novels and absolutely hated them. I found them juvenile, fluffy, and riddled with the problems that had been a part of the tv show itself. The show, I loved, but I was not blind to its faults and the novels seemed to build themselves on those faults. Not so with this novel, this is a novel which does something Lois & Clark never quite managed to do, make Superman, Lois, Clark, and their world *REAL*. Superman truly goes international (and brings in ... Read More

I have to say, that I was very disappointed in this book. I have read far better stories on the fanfiction archive, and believe me when I say they are also more loyal to the show. The book was one long drag, and thinking back I can't remember how I even ever got to the end.
Rating: -
...I had thoroughly enjoyed Cherryh's fantasy novels and so had high expectations of this book - based, so the blurb claimed, on my favourite series and penned by one of my favourite authors. How could it fail?
Well, quite simply, it failed for me because calling it a novel based on the TV series was a fraud and a misnomer. Calling it a novel based on the comic books would have been more honest.
What a huge disappointment! If you are a fan of the comic books you will probably ... Read More
