Gus is a henchman separated from his friends at his new job, a henchman on an orbiting space base. He's happy with the gig, and has no real delusions of grandeur. Well...small delusions, but he’s seen all too often what happens to minions that get too uppity around their supervillain bosses. His father had pulled a few strings and landed him a henchman position in hopes he could make something of himself. Before he's barely gotten used to the job, Gus narrowly escapes the base's destruction and is chucked at the planet below.

After a hard-fought battle in the heart, Progen has defeated the agents of the entity that wants to destroy the body he is determined to control. It was a temporary defeat, however, as the entity retreated up into the body’s brain, safely entrenched behind the blood-brain barrier that is preventing the dungeon crystal from accessing the coveted home base of the central nervous system. As he further establishes his control over the different systems that he can access, a grievous wound to the body creates a problem that could spell the end of his objective.

Battlegrounds Online is the only game of its kind. A VRMMOFPS. A military warfare game so realistic that it scares away most players daring enough to try it.

Publisher's Summary
A world-changing secret. Superhero mercenaries. Fake it till you break it.
Gus thought he could relax in paradise and level his powers at his leisure, but nothing's ever easy. No sooner are the shields down than the island is beset with intruders full of...only good intentions. Out of his league in every sense of the word, Gus scrambles to hang on to his only shot at making something out of himself. Losing everything despite all he has worked for seems inevitable.
The original owners of Gus' not-so-secret lair have discovered that the Manor is up for grabs. Only they know the true secret it holds - a secret that can change the fate of supers everywhere. Luckily for him, Gus isn't alone this time. Someone from his pre-super life has appeared to help him out, but the new supervillain can’t be certain where her loyalties ultimately lie.
Does he finally have a partner of his own? Or is he doomed to be the sidekick?

A marked improvement!
This second installment in Gus's fight to survive and keep what is his demonstrates significant improvement over the first book. For those that had a rough time with the info dumps in the first book, there are WAY fewer in this second book! I was uncertain about the author's writing style when I started that first one. By the time I finished Sidekick, I decided it had grown on me and was worth further investment. I admire that the author puts so much thought into the books and the various abilities given the main character. I also admire the fact that he sticks to his moral code whenever possible, even when it's hard. I really like moral characters!

Can’t wait for book 3! Enjoying this series immensely. This was better than book one because of the hero finally grows up! His immaturity in the first one was starting to get tiresome but this one made it all worth it.

The last 2 hours were painful to listen to...
The story started off well then somewhere along the way the author decided it was time to make the MC an insufferable idiot who couldn’t make a good decision to save his life. Fortunately for the MC, he doesn’t die because the bad guys are even dumber than he is.
This story has so much wasted potential. I find myself having a hard time finishing the last 30min because I just can’t listen to another dumb ass decision made by characters who mistakenly believe they are smart.

Great follow up!
I enjoyed the second entry into this series. I feel the author did a good job increasing the MC power as he grows but there are balances that he must contend with. It makes for some good character growth. We also get some more world building to get a wider sense of all the super power phenomena. I can't wait for next one!

I enjoyed it more than Book 1
While there is still an open-question as to what reality this Earth belongs in, I enjoyed Carl Stubblefield's decision to put Gus' past hardships in perspective by presenting him with someone who had a much more horrible upbringing than his and still managed to keep it all together. The expansion of father's and brother's relationship also provided a level of grayness between the characters that lends itself to less predictable future plot arcs.
Travis Baldree's dispassionate and yet riveting character performance is always a treat to listen to.

This book was a fun read. I thought I new where the story was heading after the first book. But the twists and turns introduced in this installment completely through me off. I can't wait to see what else will happen in this series!
