Steelheart

By: Brandon Sanderson

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

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 wills.

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. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.

He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.©2013 Dragonsteel Entertainment LLC

Critic reviews

Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn.

A terrifically tall tale, packaging the superhero action into compelling, punchy chapters that keep you reading. It's a fast, feisty read with characters that are skillfully drawn, assassinations, gunfights, physics bending motorcycle chases and a world you can't wait to hear more about.

Full of action

Awesome book

Brandon Sanderson is the best of fantasy.
Almost as good as his Mistborn.. well read too

Outstanding narration, awesome story!

Brandon Sanderson never disappoints. I was immediately drawn into the world with fantastic characterisation, interesting plot, and the very best in class world building. I also loved the narrator of this one. perfect for the first person character of David.

Amazing book

A great read for everyone but especially for fans of super hero comics/movies/books, etc. This is truly a book that goes against conventions and will keep you interested until the end.

Brilliant! Sanderson is a genius.

Great book. Loved it. Sanderson seems to know just how to tell a fantastic story using very interesting characters and good twists!
