Calling all Trekkies, Asimov aficionados, Game of Thrones fangirls, and folks hitch-hiking through galaxies far, far away. Come talk about new and classic novels with your fellow geeks.

This month's selection is After the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn.

Most people dream of having superheroes for parents, but not Celia West. The only daughter of Captain Olympus and Spark, the world's greatest champions, she has no powers of her own, and the most exciting thing she's ever done is win a silver medal in a high school swim meet. Meanwhile, she's the favorite hostage of every crime boss and supervillain in Commerce City. She doesn't have a code name, but if she did, it would probably be Bait Girl, the Captive Wonder.

Rejecting her famous family and its legacy, Celia has worked hard to create a life for herself beyond the shadow of their capes, becoming a skilled forensic accountant. But when her parents' archenemy, the Destructor, faces justice in the "Trial of the Century," Celia finds herself sucked back into the more-than-mortal world of Captain Olympus-and forced to confront a secret that she hoped would stay buried forever.

The Sci Fi & Fantasy Book Club meets at the Paseo Verde Library on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6pm. See a full list of this year's titles and previous titles here.
