Highly recommended
Availability is the problem
Alexander Kane's Andrea Vernon and the Corporation for Ultrahuman Protection is a hilarious take on a modern company that provides security and protection services for New York City, employing superheros rather than police or security guards. It's very funny. The opening feels like something Douglas Adams would have written, and the daily experiences faced by the protagonist, Andrea, will feel all too familiar to anyone used to the corporate world (though most of us don't get to fight supervillians for our day jobs.) Highly recommended, especially in the audiobook format, where the narrator's vocal stylings make it feel more like a radio play than a novel.

Andrea Veron & the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection
Description:
Think superheroes are tough? Try having one for a boss, or co-worker. That’s the predicament Andrea Vernon finds herself in as the heroine of Alexander C. Kane’s debut audiobook. Drowning in debt, and forced to move back into her parents’ Queens apartment, Andrea starts looking for a job. Luckily for her, she finds herself recruited—well, really kidnapped—by the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection (C.U.P.), an organization that deploys superheroes. Suddenly Andrea must contend with co-workers who can shoot lightning from their fingertips, face the imminent destruction of humanity, and juggle a fledgling romance with a giant lumberjack. It’s all in a day’s work for the would-be novelist turned superstar secretary.
Audible Hall of Fame narrator Bahni Turpin is perfectly cast as a normal person finding herself in abnormal circumstances. Turpin brings to life an entire cast of quirky characters, along with their heroically funny antics in the cubicle next door. If you’ve ever wondered what a genetically altered rhinoceros sounds like, or needed to take a break from your own office drudgery, this is the comedy for you.
