About this listen

 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.©2013 Dragonsteel Entertainment LLC Classics Epic Fantasy Fiction Royalty

Critic reviews

Steelheart is the literature equivalent of a blockbuster; episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn.
A terrifically tall tale, packaging the superhero action into compelling, punchy chapters that keep you reading. It's a fast, feisty read with characters that are skillfully drawn, assassinations, gunfights, physics bending motorcycle chases and a world you can't wait to hear more about.
Full of action

Great book. Sanderson has created yet another brilliant world of magic and fantasy. This series is clearly written for a younger reader so if you've read Sanderson before don't expect the depth or intensity of the Stormlight series or Mistborn trilogy (both of which i highly recommend)

That being said, even as a 27 year old i really enjoyed this book. Just great fun, easy listening entertainment. Think - Harry Potter meets The Avengers.

A little childish, but great fun.

This is the first book I've listened to with an American narrator. it took me a couple of chapters to orient myself as I'm new to audio books. Once I was up and running though, I was swept up in the story. well recommended.

Riviting read.

I've always enjoyed Sanderson's fantasy and this foray into the edges of Sci-Fi, or if not not Sci-fi exactly then magic-tech, is an exceptionally fun romp bringing to the fore Sanderson's gift for developing worlds and most importantly great character's to inhabit them.

It may well be a young adult novel and the main character does feel younger than most of Sanderson's other Main characters but the supporting cast lend a setting that allows any fan of Sanderson to enjoy the story no matter what age.

Sanderson is good in any Fantasy Genre

A great idea for a superhero novel. Loved the story that kept me wanting to listen and but I g through the chapters wanting to find out what happened next.
A different look at Superhero’s that makes the MCU look like a bunch of wet flannels.
I can’t wait to listen to the next instalment of this series. So glad I came across this author

Two weeks ago I had never heard of Brandon Sanderson and Sci-Fi is definitely not a natural choice for me. I purchased Steelheart on a whim and consider it one of the very best stories that I have ever read (listened to).

Very quickly I became gripped by the characters and felt real emotion at certain points of the narrative. I am now going to buy all of Sanderson's books and cannot wait for the sequel.

I recommend this book to anybody and everybody.
