The Ables

The Ables, Book 1

De: Jeremy Scott

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

I did have fantastic hearing, mostly by virtue of being blind. But that couldn't actually mean that he's trying to tell me I have super powers, right? Because that would be ridiculous.

It wasn't the "sex talk" he expected. Phillip Sallinger's dad has told him he's a custodian - a guardian - and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. He'll learn to move objects with his mind. He's excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a "special ed" class for disabled empowered kids; he suddenly feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip struggles, even as he and his friends - calling themselves the Ables - find ways to maximize their powers to overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the growing evil threatening humanity. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is mired in indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip, and the enemy is poised to strike. But what if the next "one who does all," the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables?

The Ables is a fast-paced, captivating debut novel from Jeremy Scott, a bold, new voice in fantasy and science fiction.

best book of my year

I loved how the characters were age-appropriate and yet a little more sophisticated than I thought 12 year olds could be. It was a wonderful book and I can't wait to read the next one.

I Expected a Good Book... This Was Great!

A band of disabled people with superpowers sounded interesting. I expected a Goonies-type story of friends on an adventure. The Ables throws some high stakes and wild action at you that keeps you eager to know what happens next.

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to book 2.

Unique super hero story.

Unique super hero story from a blind person's perspective. Great storyteller and narrator. Counted only 5 sins.

Invigorating story and wonderfully read

Eric did a wonderful job reading the story, it was gripping and I was able to differentiate between different characters easily, it was clearly a better investment in time through an audiobook then through the book itself. I mean there are a few bits here and there about the story that could use some sense of closure but it’s great, can’t wait till I get to strings.

ill deduct 100 sins for this book being awesome!!

loved the story and its unique point of view! loved the lore build in to the story. all the characters were amazing and the villain was great in my opinion. Solid ending that leaves you wanting more, now time to move on to the sequel Strings!!! keep it up please, want to see a lot more installments in this series!!! 👍
