READ EXCERPT FROM BOOK >> 3 Total Reviews of This Book “Murphy’s Hero” by G. A. Hauser is very enjoyable. The main character Alexander has a penchant for encountering people in distress whenever he goes out. While this is a bit fanciful, it serves Alexander’s story well. I was surprised that the publisher listed this book as science fiction for I didn’t find that to be accurate. What I discovered and enjoyed so much was that all the events are based in reality. It was engaging to see how Alexander could go from pathologically shy and insecure to rescuing people in trouble with the help of an interested boyfriend and a Corinthian helmet. One gives him self-confidence and the other allows him the freedom to express himself. read full review >> Alexander Parker is so introverted he’s still a virgin at twenty-seven.
