Midnight Strikes

De: Tom Reynolds

Narrado por: Mike Carnes

The prequel to Tom Reynolds' hit Meta superhero novel series is finally here.

The world is still reeling from the devastation of the final battle between the world’s strongest metahumans. Empire City has been left in shambles as it struggles to rebuild. Overnight, the world’s metabands, mysterious bracelets that offer their owner’s superhuman powers and abilities, have all ceased working. Guilt ridden over his possible hand in all of this, the masked vigilante Midnight has hung up his cowl.

Instead of fighting crime, he now spends his sleepless nights searching for clues to recover the device that might be responsible for all of it before it can fall into the wrong hands. Along the way he meets Amanda Khan, a teenage girl with a metahuman history in search of her missing friend. Both find the clues to what they’re both searching for lead them to The Receptive, a secretive cult which offers a path to meta humanity to its most loyal followers and may just hold the answers to the missing device.

Don't forget to check out the other audiobooks in the Meta series, including Meta, The Second Wave, and Rise of The Circle.

Awesome Clean Superhero Adventure!

I have been looking for some superhero books for my middle school age son and this one is perfect! The main character is a bit like a Batman vigilante in that he used technology to get his superpowers and also dresses in black yet still is his own unique superhero. The book grabs you pretty quickly even though at first I was a bit confused the author uses that like a mystery to figure it out. It was a really fun read and the narrator does a fantastic job with the voices and overall acting and telling of the story. I'm looking forward to checking out the other books in the series.

There is some violence but not extreme, in terms of language there were only few commonly used cuss words like "damn" but no f-bombs, and no sexual content.

Very exciting superheroe story

This was a very exciting story. Both the world and characters were well flesh out and the story had just the right amount of action. I really enjoyed listening to it and will definitely continue with the rest of the series.

Will Listen Again

I have not read or listened to the other books in this series, and went into this one without knowing anything about it. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it.

Midnight Strikes is a great stand alone story about a hero fixing a problem. The development of the characters was done in a clever way that I really appreciated. With many stories in the Super Hero Universe you are constantly bombarded with stiff dialog to explain what characters think, feel or believe. This is not the case with Midnight Strikes.

Tom Reynolds (Author) has a very unique style that I enjoyed. The world that he created feels full and the characters seem real. I like the main character and am very interested in what is happening in their world. In a world where people have super powers it was very interesting to listen to the struggles of someone that does not.

Mike Carnes (Narrator) did a very good job. There was a wide variety of characters in this story and Mike did a good job varying his voice to distinguish who was talking.

I will be getting the other books in the series.

Because I’m Batman

Midnight Strikes is reminiscent of a classic comic book style superhero story. Midnight may not have superpowers but he is a masked vigilantly who wears black, relies on gadgets that he creates, and fights crime. While, this may not be the most original concept for a story it includes several interesting ideas that still makes the story feel unique. Furthermore, it is a clean, quick-paced superhero adventure that is able to convey a world that is both believable and entertaining. Combine all this with streamlined writing and complex world building and you get a quite enjoyable read. If you like superheros his book is worth your time.

I received a free copy this book in exchange for an honest review.

Morality rating- This book is mostly clean but it does contain valance and torture.

Great action/adventure/sci-fi!

Book opens and closes well and demands sequels.
Narration was quite smooth (I.e. good editing)
Storyline keeps listeners “on the edge of their seat”
I recommend the book for ages 15 and older due to violence.
I was given this audiobook for free, and I freely give my opinion and rating.
