“Exciting, Fun, And Dangerously Addictive.”Bremy St. James leaves her evil father to make it on her own, but she isn’t doing so well with her life. Within the first month she’s in debt to her Mafia landlord for twelve hundred dollars, and forced to work at the Pink Beaver strip club. To pay the landlord off, she borrows the money from her equally notorious boss; then loses the money to a new master villain in town, Sultana. After stumbling into several bad situations with Sultana, she is rescued by the city’s paladin, super hero Dark Ryder, a masked vigilante who protects the city from evildoers. Deciding she wants to become Dark Ryder’s sidekick leads to even more problems.In this first adventure we get to meet all the players in Auralee Wallace’s new universe of sexy super heroines and evil villains. Though culled from the Golden Age comic book heroines, the story is pure pulp action at its best in what is now being called New Pulp, which is not a bad thing. Costumed super heroes, whether found in pulps are comic books are a lot of fun, and Bremy St. James, The Sidekick, is going to thrill readers of a new generation. She is to Dark Ryder, what Robin was to Batman. Dark Ryder, the mysterious paladin comes on the scene in crucial moments to save the day, but it’s her Sidekick that we follow through trials and trails to the end of the case. Like those wonderful old Saturday Matinee serials, after this first chapter you will not want to miss the second action adventure in this new series.
