About this listen

The world’s only superhero was discovered in 1969. No others were ever found. Until now.

With Station destroyed and their friends dead, might Daniel and Abos finally be allowed some peace? Yeah, right.

Daniel’s talents are needed by a UN department taking on the bad guys, including rogue halfheroes. Abos is searching for more of her species. She soon finds she’s not the only one looking. There’s a new threat that no one saw coming. And halfheroes are being targeted.

When Daniel goes missing, it’s down to Abos to find out what’s going on and try to stop it. Her only chance of success means risking everything she’s gained since she stopped being The Deterrent.

Meanwhile, Daniel’s staging a breakout from the most secure prison ever built, but what’s waiting for him is even worse. It’s time for Daniel to find out if he’s a halfhero or a real hero.

Am loving this series, especially the trolling of Trump :) or maybe that was just me. Can’t wait to see where the story goes. Triple D is a brilliant character addition. Loving the narration as well. 👏👏👏

Brilliant series

What a cracking author I loved the 1st book and this 2nd was just as good. .exciting unpredictable twists and turns. I can’t wait to read the final book.

So readable

I love the stories being rolled out and enjoy the humor and characters. I am still very excited to read the last book.
A key quality item with these books is that each is its own clear chapter in a bigger picture, without making you feel like it was one book chopped into 3. The bad news is that this plot felt a bit rushed or perhaps pushed. The middle ground felt flat and the author even admits that in the end notes. It may be that this should have had a rewrite. But then that would slow the output and I need to read the last book now (grin). While it is funny some of the characters are a bit too stereotyped. So that may be something you like or not. Overall - great fun.

More great story, just not as great as the first.

Nice twists and turns. Again some ideas i have read or seen somewhere else but still enough uniqueness to make the book an interesting listen.

Great delivery and great continuation of the story

i have been well and truly sucked in to the ABOS Universe, it's a unique perspective on super heroes with excellent characters, i am disappointed that Cressida is no longer part of the story as I really liked her character. looking forward to the third part 👍👍👍

exceptionally interesting & a great story
