Summary
 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

I am not surprised I have loved this book, I am a true Sanderson supporter - he doesn't miss when it comes to the Cosmere. But this was different. A post-apocalyptic world with the original signature Brandon always leaves in his work. Absolutely fantastic. The reader was obviously carefully selected - matches the main character perfectly, and his performance adds a lot to the experience. Totally recommend this audiobook - I'll be listening to the next book in the series in a minute or two.

Another awesome story by Sanderson

Great story, the narrator was really good. Except for the fact that he has a moist mouth. Which should tell you how good this book is, I have sensory issues and almost turned it off multiple times but I just HAD to know what happens next.

Great work!

pretty good!

A twist in the hero genre

That was one of the best books I've listened to. The narratorrwad the book beautifully and the voices of the characters throughout the book. And the story kept me on the edge of my chair as I listened.
Can't wait to listened to the rest of the book series.
I would recommend this book to everyone.
