About this ebook
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.

I just finished Steelhead , and I'm already looking forward to the next one. I must admit I'd never heard of this author before , but now I will be actively looking for more of his work . The story moves along at a good pace , with good dialog and interesting characters, part way through I had partially guessed Megan's secret but not the whole thing. Overall a very enjoyable book

I've got this up on the tablet twice. Got hooked and read half of it then put it down. Month later thought I'd read more and then get so in grossed a 2nd time. Book finished. That's how gripping it is. I refused food and toilet breaks to finish this. This book will consume a small fraction of your life. You've been warned!

I tried this book as I like superheroes originally and had seen this was linked to them in some way excepth they are called epics. The book throughout was fantastic to read, I was kept wondering the answers all the way through the story. Great ending too. I fully enjoyed it and am happy I read it.
