Out on his own as a surveyor, Major Corbin sleeps under the stars and calls his own shots. As a one-man operation without powers on a space colony with power-abusing supers, this is the life. Nothing lasts forever. The chance discovery of a mysterious substance changes everything when he gains superpowers and learns that it’s the key to saving the colony from an evil that nobody but he knows is coming. The kicker? Gaining powers means waking an ancient being that might be the difference between saving the universe or dying in the process.

Summary
As metahumans emerge throughout the world, some greet them as saviors while others see them as a threat to humanity itself. A group of elite soldiers come into possession of the most powerful metabands seen yet, with the ability to destroy what was thought to be indestructible: the metabands themselves.
With the destruction of the Silver Island Metahuman Detention Facility, Bay View City goes into total lockdown. The Alpha Team impose their protection, but at a price: the complete and total ban of metahumans within the city. Refusal to follow is punishable by execution.
Forced to leave the city he calls home, Connor is given a second chance at an elite prep school across the bay - one with a very big secret.

Poorly written with numerous inconsistencies.
There's not a lot to say really besides the title of my review as it speaks for itself.
Book 3 contains a big reveal that falls flat, a random unexplained fight with an 'invisible' who is wearing clothes (when in an earlier book it is stated that they have to be naked) and an final battle as unresolved as the other books.
Considering I gave book 1 a 3 also one might question why I have bought the two sequels but I feel the writer has potential and I'm happy to pay to help them keep working on their books as I do believe he has a masterpeice waiting to come out.

Concerned!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If the author remembered what he previously wrote, and the character interactions actually made sense and weren't irrational and irritating.
What do you think your next listen will be?
In ashes born by Nathan Lowell I like his previous series.
Would you be willing to try another one of Kirby Heyborne’s performances?
His performance was fine, the material was bad!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger and disappointment. The supporting characters were enraging and petty.
Any additional comments?
If the author could remember his plot and previous scenes; it would be much obliged!

My Superpowered Academia: Year 5???
The main story is kind of erratic at this point. Then it took a hard left into this weird mixture of Superpowered by Drew Hayes and My Hero Academia. Hell, I was half way waiting for All Might to show up. Chances are still 50/50 on that happening because the way this is going the big twist will be the Governor popping back into existence at some point. Predictable and kinda aimless as far as the series goes but it's still a very convenient way to kill time between other releases.

Really enjoying this series!
I’m really enjoying the listen in these books. I’m look forward to the Audible version of Midnight too. Just a couple of notes. ***Spoilers if you want to read this series*** In Second Wave, Connor & Midnight discover that he learns at an accelerated rate through training and is able to retain what he learns through instinct and muscle memory, yet in this book he is sucker punched pretty easily by a drunk that is trying to take advantage of Sarah. I get the plot device to give credence to Sarah’s prowess with martial arts, but this leaves the question: did the skills that Connor acquired before diminish, or was he distracted by the girl? With his training, he should not have been sucker punched at all. Second, it’s never fully confirm if all of the first generation’s bands have all come back online with Connor’s now being the main conduit. You give us a few villains from the first generation, but how about a theory from Midnight as to why Connor’s band have supplanted The Governor’s as the main conduit? I’m assuming a bigger story on this will come with the next main installment, but this occurred to me during my second listen. Keep it coming Tom, I’m still reading!

Great story!!!
I'm a big fan of this series, and once again Mr. Reynolds doesn't disappoint. I'm a huge fan of the Super hero genre of fiction and this is one of the better series that I've read. Read this people, and then you can thank me later.

amazing but a few things
so this whole series was amazing!! that being said there were a few things that i, and I'm sure others have as well, that is the fact that the author seemed to forget what he wrote in the previous books. it wasn't so bad but it was noticeable but in no way takes away from the fact that this was an amazing series and the ending was incredible. my only hope is that some insanely rich person reads this book series and decides to turn it into a movie or tv show! one can hope

All around great
great story line, character development, and quite entertaining. I loved it. The teenagery of the protagonist was believably annoying at times, as well lol
