Metatron: The Mystical Blade

Metatron Series, Book 2

By: Laurence St. John

Narrated by: Jeremy Basko

Thirteen-year-old Tyler Thompson is a super-normal who fights crime in Las Vegas, utilizing only a fragment of the superpowers bequeathed to him by the angel Metatron. But in order to receive the full compliments of his special gifts, he must first prove himself worthy of the honor. So when the evil scientist who killed his father known as Dr. Mason Payne escapes from prison, hell-bent on killing his family, Tyler springs into action.

Tyler’s mentor, Master Pat Tanaka, urges him to unlock his remaining powers before taking on Dr. Payne so that others don’t get hurt. Tyler heeds his guidance, suspecting that his missing grandfather is being held as a prisoner in Area 51, along with the secret to unlocking the last of his superpowers. Along the way, Tyler discovers the Mystical Blade - a weapon of extraordinary power - the weapon that could spell the end of Dr. Payne once and for all. But when a new foe named Black Shadow emerges and joins in Dr. Payne’s schemes to destroy all that Tyler holds dear, Maxx becomes collateral damage and Tyler must figure out how to bring him back to life before its too late. Soon after, Tyler’s grandfather reveals even more secrets and informs him that something even more evil is lurking just around the corner.

I Liked It

I like the job that both Jeremy Basko as the voice over artist and Laurence St. John did with Metatron. Even storytelling, mixed with a steady voice, makes for a pretty good audiobook. It’s more hero ‘lite’ but I enjoyed it myself. Will pass on to my little cousins.

not to long but great YA story

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

A Great Book

Never underestimate the hero! That’s the popular theme of most stories and although you can see this one coming, you’re still excited because of the link you’ve built with Tyler from book 1. John’s does a good job of weaving together all the details to make you root for him until the very end. I’m already looking into grabbing book 3.

short but enjoyable

I am starting this series with this book. As both books are pretty short, I didn't think I missed much. Apart from the more detailed origin story, I don't think I have. I was able to jump right in and enjoy the story. It is definitely geared towwards a younger audience, but that wasn't a detriment to me. The narration is done fairly well. I thought it had a good balance so it would be enjoyable for most age of listener that enjoy superhero stories.

Great story

if you love superhero tales, you'll really enjoy this one. The author Laurence St. John really captured a strong sequel tot eh first. I can't wait to listen to number 3.
