Description
The Actionary Saves the Day!
When mild-mannered Chesney Arnstruther accidentally summons a demon and causes Hell to go on strike, he doesn’t expect to wind up as what he had always dreamed of being: the Actionary, a costumed crimefighter with a weasel-headed fiend for a sidekick.
But that’s just the beginning of a journey that will see the “high-functioning” autistic actuary enmeshed in the schemes of a greedy televangelist, romancing a pepper-spray-wielding manicurist, and sitting down to a poker game with the Devil where the stakes include his immortal soul.

“Superlative”Publishers Weekly (starred review of Hespira)
“A tremendous amount of fun”George R.R. Martin
“Matthew Hughes is the best-kept secret in science fiction”Robert J. Sawyer
“If the plots weren't so compelling, if the worlds he creates weren't so sparklingly original, I could read about Henghis Hapthorn going to the grocery store.... do yourself a favor and just pick up this novel and read the first few pages. Hughes' writing is a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible." Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column
