Steelheart rules with vicious precision, and no one can fight him–no one except the Reckoners. He controls the elements, turns inert matter into steel at will, and he’s impervious to bullets, swords, fires, poison, and any weapon conceivable to the downtrodden people he controls. In Newcago, the most powerful Epic of all, Steelheart, has become the absolute ruler of his territory. We’ve got a world full of power-hungry, hedonistic, amoral super-villains, vying for dominance over the remaining humans and each other. The problem is, none of the Epics are heroes. Calamity’s presence turned a handful of normal folks into Epics, or people with varying degrees of superpowers. In Sanderson’s post-apocalyptic Earth, disaster comes in the form of a red starburst in the sky known as Calamity.
These are NOT your Saturday morning cartoon heroes! On to this review of Steelheart, book one in The Reckoners, by Brandon Sanderson. "A straight-up Marvel Comics-style action drama.I don’t just write books–I read them, too! I remain, as always, an unrepentant science fiction and fantasy geek, and I crave both classical and fresh takes on the material I love most–you know, kings, princes, queens, dragons, aliens, dragons, aliens, superheroes…oh, and magical cats are always a plus. “An absolute page-turner."” -Publishers Weekly Sanderson uses plot twists that he teases enough for readers to pick up on to distract from the more dramatic reveals he has in store.” -The A.V. leaves panting for the sequel.” -Booklist, Starred “Snappy dialogue, bizarre plot twists, high-intensity action, and a touch of mystery and romance. Period.” - Patrick Rothfuss, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The Name of the Wind And it turns out that the Reckoners might just need David, too. But to exact revenge in this new world, David will need the Reckoners-a shadowy group of rebels bent on maintaining justice. How far would you go for revenge if someone killed your father? If someone destroyed your city? If everything you ever loved was taken from you? David Charleston will go to any lengths to stop the Epics. The perfect gift for fans of the Renegades series, this boxed set includes all three hardcover editions of #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners series-Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity.
