Publisher's summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy, Brandon Sanderson, comes the first book in a new, action-packed thrill ride of a series - Steelheart. Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics.

But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will.

Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.

And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.

He's seen Steelheart bleed.

And he wants revenge.

Great change of the superpower story.

Very well done performance. Really liked the twist to this story of super-powered people. I think this is the start to my new favorite series.

Excellent story

I usually do not enjoy this particular genre, however this story line is so well written and well narrated that I am now going to enjoy the second book as well.

Entertaining from beginning to end!

The story was funny, entertaining, engaging and allowed you to relate to the various characters in different ways.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and was anxious to unfold each little nuance of ever new Epic, while continuing holding out for the Hero to arrive. The story kept me wanting more every time I had to stop listening. And when this book came to end I couldn't wait to immediately start part 2 of the trilogy. Excellent work by Brandon Sanderson.

Additionally, MacLeod Andrews is among the top of my favorite voice actors in the numerous audio books I've listened to.

What a thrill ride! from beginning to the end!

I enjoyed the this audible very much! A different perspective of viewing supered powered beings known as the Epics to be what we secretly feared our favorite superheroes to be.....Evil. Narrator does a great job of gripping your attention until the very end....or is it?
