Story
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

Story
From the pulpy pages of Black Mask Magazine in the 1920s and '30s, through the film noir era of the 1940s, to today, noir fiction has lured many a reader and movie-goer away from the light and into the dark underbelly of society. Names such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain; titles like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice...these have inhabited our collective consciousness for decades. Humanity, it seems, loves the dark. And within the dark, one figure stands out: that of the femme fatale.

Being a superhero should be fun. After all, a world of super powers is a world where Amazonian juggernauts made of candy battle guys in spandex that drive talking cars. Irene loves that weirdness, loves the game of fighting, and loves being a four-foot-tall woman who still gets to drop big heavy objects on villains' heads. In 1980, that fun is in danger. A mad scientist who murders people for his research has everyone afraid. Two of the friendliest super-powered rivals around stop playing and go for the kill.

Publisher's Summary
Superheroes and villains constantly battle for control of Denver, Colorado, so somebody has to do the heavy lifting. CJ Cruz found his niche working for whichever super-flavor-of-the-day happens to be running the show at the time. Since most of the self-labeled heroes claiming to be on the side of justice don’t hire henchmen, he usually winds up doing the street-level work for supers operating outside the law. His family and priest just think he’s a gangster, but CJ knows his motivation is pure. He keeps on the windy side of law enforcement by following a few simple rules, the first of which is keep your head down and never be the boss’ right-hand man. People tell him he should get a new job, but he likes working around supers. Besides, except for intimidation and roughing people up, he doesn’t have any other skills necessary to make rent and pay child support.

Not Bad
A different take on Superheroes...The story and narration by Henry Kramer were good. My only gripe is that it was recorded too low, you have to turn your volume up quite a bit more than most audiobooks. But all in all this was an enjoyable listen, so I would recommend this book. I received this audiobook from S.O and the author, narrator or rights holder, and this is my unbiased review.

A good read
This was a story about hero's & Villains. It was quite different from what I usually read. The characters were great & quite a bit of action, I enjoyed all the different superpowers. CJ works for the superhero's/villains. That is how he supports his ex-wife and daughter. As he came into his powers, he had to decided what he really wanted. All in all, an enjoyable read.

Thug number one is a very very good book. The book is written in a way that keeps you engage while introducing you to characters and the story in a very fun way.

An excellent origin story of the best thug
This book plays with what goes on behind the supers. We get to see the support staff that manages the business dealings and more mundane goings on.
We get some excellent adventure with some pretty likable characters along the way, and we get some deeper questions about what makes a hero or villain, and what rights and responsibilities do people who interact with powerful people actually have.
I didn't particularly like the moral lesson at the end, it felt a bit too simple for what was going on but no spoilers.

Different take on super-hero book
This was a very interesting take on super-hero books coming at it not just from the villain's side of thing but by then henchmen. I've never seen that done, though I've seen villains, and even side-kicks perspectives before. It was a fun, unique take that Wymore did and very enjoyable.
I didn't think the audio version was missing anything, Kramer did a great job with the performance and drawing the audience in. However reading some of the Amazon reviews it looks like the print version included illustrations that I want to see enough now that I intend to buy a kindle version just for those. I know sometimes Audible includes a PDF, so might be nice to include those if possible here as well.
Over all a fun book and I hope for a sequel.
