What would it be like, to get absolute power? Would you wear a cape and fight crime? Rule the planet? Or perhaps you would be like Rob Lewis, and watch your world collapse around you. Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Rob is going to find out.

This one was interesting enough that I would like to get the second book if there is one, but everything is wrapped up enough at the end that if there not one there’s very little left unanswered. However, there’s enough room for expansion that a second story is an interesting possibility.

Interesting enough to get the second

I love how it makes you think about how you would use such a power and the consequences this power could have I hated the little kid scene and his genuine fear of the power when it would do him and others good to use it all and it was a good philosophical book

I enjoyed this entire book from start to finish. Absolutely beautiful ending and should be a must listen for every one who comes across it.

Many women make fantastic sci-if writers. However, as a man I find far too often the focus is on emotion and self-doubt with minimal attention given to action or external struggle. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It is simply not a writing style I prefer. Sadly, it also speaks to the difficulties of women in our society, but that is a completely different topic. However, I sympathize with their plight.
I was expecting a story of slow corruption, followed by a monumental battle for the climax. The cover art even implies in, in my interpretation. Instead there is a touch of corruption, a ho-hum battle scene, and a final conflict that is rather flat.
There is plenty of intelligent commentary and vocabulary, both of which I appreciate. Clough certainly put effort into developing the scientific elements of the story, including utilizing the scientific method to address Rob’s discovery of his power. It is just that the adrenaline moments are wanting.
Bronson Pinchot is an excellent narrator. He definitely brings the story to life. There are a few spots where his pacing is too fast or the word emphasis is questionable. These are more a matter of preference, but they are what keep him out of the discussion with greats like R.C. Bray and Ray Porter. He is a tier or two below them, which still encompasses great narrators.

Not Bad, But Disappointing
