4.0

Dave Hooper, general looser, becomes a hero when he encounters monsters on the oil rig where he is the safety officer. His world changes in the swing of an axe. Just as the world begins down the road of a conflict they are totally unaware of and totally unprepared for.

This is the first battle in a war with an enemy that has no respect or consideration for humans and the world's only hope appears to lie in Dave, even with all his flaws.

An exciting twist on the superhero story.
