Rated R is the first novel in the exaggeratedly self-aware Genre-Busting adventure series The Postmodern Adventures Of Kill Team One, by Mike Leon. The series focuses on the everyday exploits of the titular Kill Team One, Sid Hansen. Sid is a teenage super soldier believed to be the deadliest man in the world. In a bizarre act of teenage rebellion, he decided to quit super soldiering and try to live like normal everyday Americans. Unfortunately, his social skills are complete garbage and he seems to have very little understanding of accepted cultural norms. In his defense, he was conditioned to murder people since before he could walk...In this first book, Sid gets a job at a video rental store and meets Lily Hoffman, a vampy little movie geek with some serious issues. Hilarity and a ridiculous amount of violence ensue.The series has a dry and irreverent style, often drawing attention to its own shortcomings and overused action adventure tropes, or subverting them altogether. | |

Plot Armor | |
| Rated R (2014) / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: Sid has this and it is lampshaded liberally. Possibly subverted. Unbeknownst to him, he actually has an alien deflector shield that redirects bullets so they always miss him. | |

SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism | |
| Rated R (2014) / int_3ac583f4 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Cynicism. So much cynicism. None of the characters are traditionally good people. The best ones are morally ambiguous and the worst ones are beyond vile. Garden variety incompetence leads to some of the most horrific events in the story. | |

| Rated R (2014) / int_67e53056 | comment |
Gun Porn: All throughout, real-world firearms are detailed pretty extensively. Also taken too literally when Sid and Lily have sex on a pile of guns and ammo. | |

Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Victor does this when he tears a man's beating heart from his chest and shows it to him. Also when he 'shadow kicks' Sid. | |
