Sidekick

A Superhero LitRPG Adventure

By: Carl Stubblefield

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

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?

This is really solid

I think this is turning out to be one of my favorite stories. It’s not full litrpg, but it is a great story with rpg elements.

Basically, it’s worth the credit.

One of the best 2nd books in a series I've read

Seriously fun follow up to his last novel. The story only gets better.

I need the next one! Need it!

So yeah, pick this one up.

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.

missed the music

this was a great story! I'm really enjoying the growth of Gus! I miss the music and pop culture references book one was chocked full of, but still enjoyed the listen!

Fun Sequel!
