He has no idea what he's doing.It's been ten years since 'The Battle' — the catastrophic clash between metahumans that destroyed a generation of heroes and left the world terrified of superpowers. For Connor Connolly, it was the night he lost his parents.Now Connor scrapes by in Bay View City, living with his meta-obsessed older brother Derrick, trying to survive high school, and doing his best to forget the world that took everything from him.Then he wakes up wearing metabands.Mysterious. Powerful. And supposedly extinct.Overnight, Connor goes from invisible teenager to Omni — a fledgling hero with abilities he can barely control, a masked vigilante mentor named Midnight who trains like a drill sergeant, and a terrifying new villain called The Controller who's threatening to tear his city apart.Between school, secrets, and learning that flying is way harder than it looks, Connor has to figure out what kind of hero he wants to be — before someone else makes that choice for him."Reynolds succeeds in giving the two-dimensional heroes of comics a more three-dimensional existence in prose." — The GuardianMeta is a fast-paced, funny, and action-packed superhero origin story for readers who love Marvel, DC, and stories about ordinary people discovering they're capable of extraordinary things.Book 1 of the complete 7-book Meta Superhero Novel Series.

The story is enjoyable enough, if a bit clichèd but it's the boring, unrealistic conversations and dull pace that lets it down.
Also, a cardinal sin is authors narrating their own stories poorly. I totally understand that sometimes it is necessary to narrate yourself due to monetary constraints but how can someone do so and put so little enjoyment into the tale?
I will check out the other books in the series though as I saw a glimmer of excellence in there and hope things get better.

Poorly written amd even worse marration.

Really unique and creative story and the narration was excellent. It was a really good read.

Fantastic

When it comes to superhero stories I'm normally one to pass it up, however after dithering for a while I took the plunge and was not disappointed.

I've listened to Tom on the TCGTE podcast for more than 5 years and was worried his narration would be strange to my ear, however it was well paced, clear and articulated each character well.

The story itself - whilst clearly a superhero story - isn't so stupidly far fetched as to be incomprehensible and you get the sense that each of the characters has a significant back story that you really want to discover (seriously, what *is* the deal with Midnight?!).

I'd really recommend this to anyone.

Easily accessible, even if superheroes aren't usually your thing.

Would you consider the audio edition of Meta to be better than the print version?

Yes Mr Reynolds performance was top notch and brought the characters to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Meta?

The equine Easter egg towards the end of the book had me grinning from ear to ear.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I felt the final showdown was really well done and had me rooting for Connor without wishing to give spoilers all I can say is it was an intelligent and exciting climax.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

It ain't easy being super.

Any additional comments?

I would normally have never picked a book with this subject matter up however being a huge fan of Tom's other audio work on the complete guide to everything I thought what the hell lets give it a whirl.I was shocked to discover a wonderfully engaging barnstorming tale of daring do.While paying homage to other comic book greats Tom also innovates and brings a raft of fresh ideas of his own to the party,with Connor we have a hero that we can relate to as he struggles to find his place in the world.

I have friends who enjoy comics or graphic novels if you prefer and one of their great woes is that once they finish one the urge to consume for is overwhelming.This is how I felt after finishing this wonderful romp if there were already more books in this series to buy I would have done so.I feel sorry for anyone discovering Tom's work in 20 years from now when he has a huge body of work behind him because they will be spending a fortune in a very short space of time.

New kid on the block writes like an old pro.
