Powerful Choices

Enhanced Wars, Book 1

By: Jim Struble

Narrated by: Sam Rosenthal

We’ve all heard stories of parents who lift cars off their children or fight off the deadliest of all nature's predators to save a loved one. These aren’t just urban legends. They are the Enhanced, and not all of them are good.

What if living an unselfish and good life gave us incredible powers...

Casey Clark never intended to be the main character in his own story. He is a grieving father just trying to do the best he can for his seventeen-year-old daughter. Now, imbued with powers well beyond his understanding, he finds himself more lost than ever. What does a single father, working as an accountant, even do with superpowers?

...and the worst among us could gain terrible abilities and strive for unlimited power?

These mysterious abilities lead him on a collision course with other Enhanced who gain their powers through living lives dominated by evil choices. One in particular is hell-bent on orchestrating historic mass-casualty events, holding the nation hostage with fear.

Supervillains and superheroes clash in the ultimate game of cat and mouse amidst a government agency hoping to contain the worst humanity has to offer by partnering with the best. In the middle of it all is a father just trying to support his daughter, a young woman who has yet to discover who she really is, and a shadowy figure pulling the strings of fate behind the scenes.

For fans of superhero origin stories set in today’s reality, cat-and-mouse thrillers, and those who enjoy smiling while they listen.

The Epic Wars series is best enjoyed in order.

Bingeworthy

Whatever the audio equivalent of a page-turner is, this book is that. Great storytelling, consistent characters, and an original concept that has important meaning in our society today. I enjoyed the narration too. Narrators can make or break an audiobook, and this one delivers. The antagonist’s voice could rival the most vile Disney villain lol
