Mildly entertaining homage to / parody of the hypermasculine-redeemer archetype, America's favorite hero concept from the pulps to superhero comics to western movies (our hero's name is Shane) to the worst 80s action flicks to your typical video fighting game... Not bad but I feel this book could use more bite, especially considering our planet currently does not fare all that well with hypermasculine-redeemer types.
If you are looking for a more politically relevant (and still more ridiculous) pastiche of 80s action schlock, I recommend you check out the terrifyingly heroic world of Benjamin Marra:

Sorta disappointed that this doesn't involve an actual sex castle.
