Explanation Supposing Books Steelheart (The Reckoners #1)
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 will.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.

Mr S"Anderson" didn't fail me so far, so why start now ?It was a cool read: tight and smooth , a terrific world with new rules and a reality where people with superpowers are unavoidably villains with a god complex and a thirst for dominion, enter the Reckoners : Defenders of the fellow man and banes to the oppressors ...Suffice to say it's a must read.What if Superman was evil?In fact, what if all superpowered beings were evil? <--and that's the premise of this book. So. If (for unknown reasons) there were suddenly people granted superpowers, and (for unknown reasons) they all turned into bad guys, and they all (for unknown reasons) had secret strange weaknesses that made no sense - then who would fight them?Enter the Reckoners!A bunch of humans who ferret out the weakness and then kill the Epic. <--Epic is what these powered people are
I got to read this early. No spoilers, but it's FANTASTIC.
Meet Steelheart. (I dont know why my mind conjures Lokis image whenever Steelheart is described.^^)He is an Epic (could be a superhuman, an alien, a result of a science experiment, Im not really sure) with supernatural abilities and strength and is the ruler of a city called Newcago. Waitdid I just say Newcago? OMG, I just have tolet me justOkay, Im calm. Newcago, jeez. Thats ridiculous. [*wipes off a tear while still laughing]. To continue, Steelheart is one of the most powerful Epics. He is
That was an awesome read! Full of action, super interesting story! I cannot wait until the next book! I love anti hero stories..
3.5... but a high 3.5This book was a fast read and a lot of fun. It's probably my least favorite Sanderson so far, but I still had a great time reading it. Also, I called SO MANY things about the end. And they were all wrong. Good job Sanderson
Buddy read with the following people: Athena, Armina, Gavin, Kat Stark, Desinka, Robin, Alexa, Shandra, Annette, Nicholas, Carole, Ashley, Eon, Kristen, Danae, and the latecomer SarahThe easiest and shortest description would be, "X-Men gone bad"; I am sure somebody already mentioned this in a review. Anyway, in near future some people (called Epics) gained superpowers - all kinds of them. Have you ever hear the saying "Power corrupts"? What about superpower? In the dystopian society of North
