Publisher's summary

A superpowered colony falling to corruption. The fate of millions at stake.

Out on his own as a surveyor, Major Corbin sleeps under the stars and calls his own shots. As a one-man operation without powers on a space colony with power-abusing supers, this is the life.

Nothing lasts forever.

The chance discovery of a mysterious substance changes everything when he gains superpowers and learns that it’s the key to saving the colony from an evil that nobody but he knows is coming.

The kicker? Gaining powers means waking an ancient being that might be the difference between saving the universe or dying in the process.

If you love science fiction with the added awesomeness of superpowers, you’ll enjoy Supers: Rise Up.

A quick fun book

obviously R.C. Bray as narrator made this book come alive, but the mythos of the world has enough going for it that I can't wait to see where the rest of the series heads!

Story is ok narrator is best part

So I'm probably not the only person who has or is going to get this book because of R.C Bray narrating it. He like always did an amazing job.

Now as far as the story itself it's not bad, some elements or pieces of it aren't really original but it's not so much that it doesnt feel like it's own thing too.

I wont get into the contents further for fear of giving spoilers except to say that the end of the book feels like end of a chapter but instead it's like BAM end of the book. Catches you off guard if you're not paying attention to how much of the book is left. That's the only reason story got 4 stars for me.

Excellent

a little bit scifi space adventure, with a dash of Ironman, throw in a little bit of The Boys (comic/ TV series) and a great story with some brutal fights. And you are just getting started in this series. Lots of fun, with memorable characters, and of course RC Bray Knocks it out of the park into a whole new galaxy as usual!

Really good just abrupt ending

I want to make it clear, the ending wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't an ending I would call bad it just was pretty quick once it reached the climax of coming to an end. Really enjoyed the book and RC Bray of course gives you a movie in your mind with his work.

A suprisingly graphic start to a series

Let me start off blunt. This is not your childhood "superhero" book. There is murder and in graphic detail. So little Timmy may not be a suitable audience. The pacing felt a little rushed, what was narrated in under 8 hours could have, and should have been fleshed out in 10-12 hours. Some portions like his "training" get rushed while other areas get full chapters of detail. Overall a fun and enjoyable experience for Adults who want a more realistic take on how "supers" would behave in a society still mostly populated by "normals".

R.C Bray, the Man, the myth, the Legend. Always brings out such humor, gruff, and at times tenderness to the female characters. If you want a full Fledged experience look no further. He has such a range of voices that no characters feel like repeats.

Not What I Expected

Great book , of course RC made it all the better ! not comic book style which was a pleasant surprise.

Good Original Story

over all a good original scifi/hero story. I've already got the next book in this series, will review as well.

the Matrix “Reloaded”

great story... loved it... many parallels with the original Matrix, but with super hero’s context and the bad guys that have souls and choices! like how every one is not grouped into just good guys and bad guys but each character has choices... makes for good story. highly recommend — can’t wait for more! RC Bray is untouchable in the world of audible!

Awesome

Great spin on SciFi and super heroes. Loved every minute. Can’t wait for RC Bray to read the next book.

This was fun book

Nothing complicated about this book and it won’t be winning a Nobel prize for literature. But is it enjoyable, written well, and fun? Absolutely. I hope the author writes many more and avoids getting repetitive. The story was fast paced but not rushed. I’m glad I finally broken down and accepted the recommendation. It really was my cup of tea. RC Bray can make an accounting ledger sound riveting so it’s no surprise that he gave this audiobook life. Would recommend a use of a credit on this book.
