About this listen
No memory, no resources, no secret lair, and no time to find her feet: this is the story of a self-made villain, and her fall into strife.
Fleeing from unknown enemies and an early death, she emerges into a city gone dark in the aftermath of a complete systems failure. Hounded by heroes, menaced by gangs, and helped by the most unlikely of allies, she claws her way up from weakness to strength and works to build a better future for those who deserve it.
To survive, she'll need strength to stand toe-to-toe against secretly supernatural foes, compassion to work with the dregs and outcasts of a broken society, and cunning to outwit intelligence beyond human kind.
The challenge is great…but she is Dire.
And Icon City will never be the same again.
©2015 Andrew Seiple (P)2018 Podium PublishingWe follow a main character as she slowly becomes both a reluctant hero and villain.
Seiple's story asks moral and ethical questions in a present day Sci-fi, while keeping things grounded with very real and human characters, also while being suspenseful. I think this is a brilliant start to the Dire Saga.
Only pet peeve that, the narrator tends to a fall back into a certain California (?) American accent, which does not help sell a young super genius vibe. Seems to be less in following books.
'Despicable Me' but 'Watchmen'
