Kaze9999 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 It's Dark Champions agents vs Champions (evil) Supers!

wremus Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've read one of the author's books (The Emperor's Soul). He's pretty good. He's won a Hugo. It's nice to see a good writer take a shot at the genre. I haven't read Steelheart, but I may try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Excellent take on a Post apocalyptic supers setting. The sequel Firefight is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just ordered my copy thanks for tipping me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndreare Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Firefight was great however it did have some moments were I wanted to reach through the pages and slap the hero. But I think that is expected in all great books. It is just too easy to get more heavily invested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakboy6117 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 the sequel firefight was also very good i would also recommend his series of novellas starting with Legion Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It's his hallucinations who are mad.A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours. However, to contain all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people—Stephen calls them aspects—to hold and manifest the information. Wherever he goes, he is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice, interpretation, and explanation. He uses them to solve problems…for a price.His brain is getting a little crowded, however, and the aspects have a tendency of taking on lives of their own. When a company hires him to recover stolen property—a camera that can allegedly take pictures of the past—Stephen finds himself in an adventure crossing oceans and fighting terrorists. What he discovers may upend the foundation of three major world religions—and, perhaps, give him a vital clue into the true nature of his aspects. and followed by the sequel.Legion: Skin Deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 About halfway through Steelheart now. Enjoying it immensely (though i suspect I've already realized the central question's answer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altair Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Everybody that I know who has read Steelheart has recommended it with great vigor. It currently sits atop my "to read" list, as soon as I've finished The Lotus War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
