Omega Squad

A Superhero Adventure (Omega Metahumans, Book 1)

De: Kurtis Eckstein

Narrado por: Will M. Watt, Katherine Littrell, Jeff Hays, Aurelia Vazquez

Jacob Knight wakes up to a bloodbath at the mall, with him at the epicenter. He is quickly arrested and forced to fight on a secret squad of metahumans who are given a choice between forced military service or prison.

The problem is, he has no idea what his ability is, and no one will give him a straight answer. But one thing is clear: he needs to figure it out, and fast, since the success of his first mission hinges on him.

Prologue

I heard her scream again, yelling as loud as she could muster, but it was lost in the fire this time, unable to penetrate the heat. I think she ordered him to stop. We both ignored her anyway, just staring at each other through the white energy pouring out of his body. It was like a powerful storm of pure thermal plasma raging out of him, like shaking hands with the center of a super nova.

He wasn’t angry. If anything, he was a little surprised, but there was something else there too.

Respect.

He was a monster who could survive an ungodly amount of heat, who could live in the flames. And I was equally a monster, who could stand in the flames with him. Something no one else could do. Something he could respect.

Spectacular voice actors made this very enjoyable

To put it simply: decent story, interesting world, excellent cast of voice actors. As for the book itself, a few shortcomings that keep myself from recommending this book. Such as: unbelievably fast pacing, cringe-worthy moments and a few generic, bland and uninspired characters. Otherwise, an enjoyable listen for myself.

Not badd 3.7

Onur that badd review One star Ridiculous looked at his account Most of the books 1 star or 2
MC not the best It could be the Numerator For him I didn't know here that key instantly pretty much In love There's a few other things give the book a chance Everyone else did a fantastic job I'd like the charactersThe whole superhero thing doesn't Really show in this book at least it's more the military wants to In forceAll Mega humansTo be leased by themHelp there's a dream know what willing to kill a twelve-year-old girl Her power is passiveShe has no skill in combat no reason for her to get killedHes willing to kill her and make them do itOr hes going torture the team I can tell the superhero theme will be in the 2nd bookAt least that's what it seems like

Damn

Found this book to be really entertaining. Fingers crossed that there is more to come 😁

great

the neg to some might be the sound fx and how fast the mc fell in love with trin but I personally enjoyed the sfx. As for the love story bit, I get it. teenagers especially mentally screwed up ones fall in and out of love on a shift of the breeze so the love story bit isn't unbelievable to me.

Honestly I wasn't expecting to like this book and thought it would be a quick return, pleasantly surprised i liked it and cant wait for Omega Zero to get released and I'll probably buy the other books buy this guy just because I liked this one so much.

I actually like this author's story better then some of my favorite series because it's not riddled with sex or crap like that. It handles it tastefully, not ignoring the subject but handling it realistically like normal people would in a conversation, and not making it like the first few Alpha World books or the Wild Wastes series.

The characters are believable and I actually feel like the conversations could be real with the exception of how fast the mc accepts his place in his new life style at first. At the same time I'm very happy it didn't dwell on that overly much like other series like to do, where you'll be on book four or eight and the mc will have an existential crisis because of the new world or lifestyle. At first I didn't get it but after you get to know the mc and his way of thinking it's more believable.






TL;DR: realistic characters, treats sex like real people would with no detail, over all good book.

more please

excellent book can't wait for the next one. narrators did a great job as well.
