Steelheart – Brandon Sanderson
Ten years ago, a mysterious red light called Calamity appeared in the sky, and ordinary people began to gain extraordinary powers. They became known as Epics. But instead of becoming heroes, the Epics became tyrants, using their powers to conquer and rule over humanity.
Steelheart, the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s bestselling young adult Reckoners trilogy, is set in Newcago, the city that was once Chicago, now ruled by Steelheart, an Epic who is said to be invincible. He has turned the city to steel and controls it with an iron fist, with other Epics serving under him.
David Charleston was eight years old when he watched Steelheart kill his father. But on that day, David also saw something no one else has seen: Steelheart bleed. For ten years, David has studied the Epics, obsessively gathering information about their powers and weaknesses, determined to find out how Steelheart can be killed. To achieve his goal, he seeks out the Reckoners, a secretive group of ordinary humans who fight back against the Epics, assassinating them one by one.
As David joins the Reckoners and works to convince them of his plan, he discovers new allies, unexpected friendships, and secrets about the Epics and the Reckoners themselves.
Packed with action, humor, clever twists and a fresh take on superhero stories, the novel shows Sanderson’s talent for inventive world-building and fast-paced storytelling.
Steelheart is an exciting read for teens and adults who enjoy action, science fiction and superhero stories. It contains action violence.
