Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary people extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics.

David Charleston will go to any lengths to stop Steelheart--the villainous, seemingly invincible Epic who killed his father and wreaks havoc on the city that was once Chicago. But to exact revenge in Steelheart's world, David will need the Reckoners, a shadowy group of rebels bent on maintaining justice.

And it turns out that the Reckoners just might need David too.

My new favorite book

Readers will love this book! The characters in the story are really intriguing! SteelHeart has a really great story line!

Amazing book

This is an amazing read. Reading it in 2023 it is a lot like Amazon's "The Boys", but far more compelling with a strong fundamental mystery at the center of it. It is a mystery within a mystery with answers and hints peppered throughout. When you reach the epic climax you're half reading for the excellently written and realized action scenes and to see the protagonist realize his ambition or fail epicly, and to see if your guess is correct for the mysteries that unfold. Such a satisfying conclusion with an equally exciting teaser for a trilogy! Tres magnifique!

Terrific story, very exciting.

This book was very fast paced and read almost like watching a movie, the story and characters were very well written, overall this book is a great book to read if you're just craving an exciting story.

Amazing series!

The stealheart trilogy is soooo good! I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the superhero kind of books. Overall, amazing series!!

Simply amazing

Read. This. Book. The Steelheart trilogy was a gem I happened to stumble upon while visiting the library a couple of years ago. I am a MEGA fan of Superhero fiction and take it very seriously. Not every book is up to par, but with "Steelheart" we find a masterpiece of writing. You may not initially like the main characters, and that's intentional. You become friends with them as the story progresses. It goes from being comedic to deadly serious and thought-provoking. There are real stakes and you can visualize the world that Brandon Sanderson has crafted. Although my favorite is the 2nd book, "Steelheart" is what drew me in and kept me captive.
