About this ebook

They told David it was impossible - that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand.

Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs.

Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic - Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

Not afraid to laugh at itself, and always looking to keep the details spread out enough to keep you hooked. Great action sequences and a highly unique premise!

I admit, I didn't expect to like Steelheart when I downloaded the sample but it hooked me from the first chapter. When I finished it, I waited patiently for Firefight to come out. It did not disappoint. Fast-paced and flowing, even the predictabilities of the plot worked in such a way that I was racing through the chapters eager to find out where and how. Thoroughly enjoyed. Do recommend reading Steelheart first.
