Resumen del Editor

Justice—a concept without a universally accepted definition. To some, it means reconciliation, while others deliver it with swift and violent judgment. For me? I just want to not be considered an outlaw for years of serving and protecting New York City.

Yep. That's right. Crimefighting is illegal, punishable by life in prison at the bottom of the ocean. It sucks. But that won't stop me from doing what I was born to do: uphold justice and stop good people from being hurt.

Even if everyone I once called a friend is against me, I'm not bowing down to the Counter Vigilante Taskforce.

My name is Sawyer William Vincent. (I know, it's three first names. Think I haven't heard that before?) Once known as Red Raptor, I'm now Black Harrier, one of the world's most famous masked crime-fighters, and this is my city. I think.

Justice is the first book in Harrier, a brand-new series from Audible number one best-selling author Jaime Castle and CJ Valin, the creators of Raptors.

I wanted to like it

the drama is still really hard to deal with. the turns and twists to keep you engaged and entertained just seem to bug me after the first few. Him still having a massive crush on Amy, seems predesposed to cheating as he welcomes any and all female contact even when in a relationship. the plot twists seem unending. Also i dont think ive read sawyer ever winning a fight without needing to get bailed out at some point. and hes considered an A list super. just doesnt seem to fit the requirements of being one at all.

Marvel and DC parody or what if

Think the bat-family with taskmaster’s powers. But I explored the themes of Marvel’s civil war. If u like fresh takes on super stories like Watchmen, Jupiter rising, and the boys; this is a good read

Well this went woke awfully quick.

in the previous books, the occasional comments about sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination or bigotry were relevant and appropriate. They were a conscientious sign of how times and attitudes have changed, and how some still resist those facts. They were well done, folded into the narrative without any overwhelming sense of "YOU WILL BE FORCE...ERR...TAUGHT TO BE BETTER, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, OF COURSE!!! AND *WE* WILL DECIDE WHAT IS *BETTER*!!"

Here though? Suddenly, heroes are the criminals, because when they fight the villains killing innocent civilians... civilians still end up dying?? Because, if only law enforcement were involved, innocents would NEVER suffer or die needlessly? This trope is so stupid and annoying, far much more so because in the real world, so many stupid people actually think like this. Supposedly smart, intelligent people, braying about issues they have neither experience with, nor understanding of.

I'm truly hoping this nonsense is just a setup for the future storyline(s), where the idiocy & blatant stupidity of such attitudes is shown to be exactly what they are - deadly dangerous to actual, average people of this world.

I love this series so far

I’ve been hoping there would be more to this series. It’s fun and the narators are awesome! Can’t wait for more!

I wanted to like this, but story is weak.

The weak story and character development never grabbed my desire to finish the book. The reader was good. It was more of a personal drama with justice hero stuff stringing together the odd twistd and turns.

Predictable

Fairly predictable. Had a pretty pretty good idea where it was going from the beginning there was a minor twist at the end.

Amazing

I stumbled upon this book series about a year or so ago, and I’ve been waiting for a continuation since. It was worth the wait; here’s to hoping the next installment comes out soon

Enjoying the story

I do not like Summer. It is a good story but I'm frustrated with the romantic interest and our main character putting up with the behavior. I'll keep reading though.

Continuation and setup

Ok so it's still basically a Batman/Robin story, but I enjoy it.

This one continues the Raptors story fast forwarded by a couple years and picks up with a heroe's worst nightmare. The bulk of the story is character development and setup for what sounds like a big event in the next book. No need to spoil it, but I'm sensing a return to "normal" will be the result when the dust settles and we see which heroes survived.

I am going to predict that Alex dies.

Spectacular!

I can’t believe these are free. If you haven’t gotten on board this series, you’re missing out!
