Almost Infamous

A Supervillain Novel

De: Matt Carter

Narrado por: Nicholas Techosky

Eighteen-year-old Aidan Salt isn't a superhero. With his powerful (and unpredictable) telekinetic abilities, he could be one if he wanted to, but he doesn't. He's unambitious, selfish, and cowardly, and he doesn't want to have to deal with all the paperwork required to become a professional superhero. But since the money, fame, and women that come with wearing the cape are appealing, he decides to become the first supervillain the world has seen in more than 20 years: Apex Strike.

However, he soon finds villainy in a world where the heroes have long since defeated all the supervillains. While half the world's heroes seem to want him dead, the other half want to hire him as their own personal villain to keep them relevant. Choosing the latter course, Aidan enters a world of fame, fortune, and staged superhero fights that is seemingly everything he ever dreamed of...at least until he sees what truly hides behind the cape-and-mask lifestyle.

Fun, entertaining story.

Hoping these become a series. I had a great time listening, and thought that the characters were very creative, and in some cases, funny.

Epic story!

This book was one of my favorite this year. I really enjoyed the super heroes turning out to be the bad guys. Aiden was an annoying character for most of the book. Ghost girl had to be one of my favorite characters. The narration was amazing.

A new twist on superhero fiction!

The premise of this book is what first drew me to it. After that the characters and the narration of the overall story kept me hooked from beginning to end. This was a fantastic and fun, although a bit sad at times, superhero genre novel! If I had any criticism at all of this book, it would be, quite simply that it just wasn't long enough!! I would've loved to have seen what befell of this world after the end of the story! I cannot highly recommend this book enough to do it justice!

Nice suprise

this story was a pleasant little surprise that I listened to in 1 day. Good backstory and history of the world, decent narration, and entertaining supervillian, antihero tale.

Really good "superhero"/supervillain story

Overall story is a great listen. A smidge narcissistic, but that's just at one point of the middle of the story. Not like it's a bad thing, after all there are supervillains
