About this ebook

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.

I just finished Steelhead , and I'm already looking forward to the next one. I must admit I'd never heard of this author before , but now I will be actively looking for more of his work . The story moves along at a good pace , with good dialog and interesting characters, part way through I had partially guessed Megan's secret but not the whole thing. Overall a very enjoyable book

Just plowed through the book in a short time. Had a few twists and turns, while developing the world and its characters slowly on the way. Would recommend for some that likes action.

Another well written, creative masterpiece by Mr. Sanderson. If you like his writing style you need to buy this book. If you have no idea who he is read the sample and then buy the book.
