About this listen
He’s part bull. She's part lava. Together, they’re unstoppable.
Carl Gray was a rodeo clown before a freak lightning storm fused him to a bull named El Diablo.
Lavender is an islander whose mother is lava goddess and father is human. As a half-lava shape-shifter, she can mold her body at will.
When the world receives a credible threat from a criminal mastermind named Villainous to destroy the human race, the United States government requests their help.
Turns out, Villainous has managed to merge human intelligence with animal strength and speed, and such creatures are appearing all over the earth.
With her intense heat and his horns of destruction, Lava and Bull are two unlikely superheroes. But finding Vaillanous is one thing... and destroying his army of mutants is quite another. Will they succeed?
What Readers are saying:
★★★★★ “Great book! Another fantastic book by J.R. Rain and Piers Anthony. I’m a huge Piers Anthony fan and his collaborations with J.R. Rain are very good.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Awesome as usual. What a pair of storytellers! The puns & the fun, & the lessons. Love all of their collaborations. The twist & turns amaze!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “I found this a very fun and interesting read. I have never read a book like a this. It was a different storyline than then most of the books out there. That is a good thing though. It kept me guessing and the characters were fun. I enjoyed this short read very much. I am very familiar with J.R. Rain (and love his books) but this is my first from Mr. Anthony. Please pick this up for an enjoyable, fast, light read.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “I enjoyed it! Although not exactly light-hearted, it’s an interesting and thoughtful jaunt with a contemporary theme. This urban fantasy has different characters and is amusing even though it’s a serious concept. I’ve read Piers Anthony since A Spell for Chameleon, and JR Rain since the start of Samantha Moon. The Anthony/Rain collaborations have all been enjoyable. This one is quite different but is a fun page turner.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Unusual superhero. Lavabull is a great short read with fun characters. Unpredictable turn of events makes this character an unusual superhero with quite a sidekick. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and can’t wait till there’s another!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Perfect for a humorous and light read. This book had me laughing out loud at times. It’s a little different from their regular writing style, but different in a good way. I enjoyed this book, and hope that the two of these guys do some more writing together.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Piers Anthony has always been one of my favorite authors and this book is no exception. I really enjoyed this story of lava girl and bull boy. Exciting action adventure—all of my favorite combos in one story.” —Amazon review

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
