About this listen

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes. Five of this year's freshmen are extra special. They have a secret aside from their abilities - one that they must guard from even their classmates.

For every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. These lesser super beings - Powereds, as they are called - have always been treated as burdens and second-class citizens. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super.

That is, until now....

it's a good story, it really is. The only thing that ruined it for me is the guy who reads it. Once you hear the way he says "Nick said" "Vince asked" etc you will not be able to unhear it. it's bothersome. Good book though!

The reader ruins it

Truly engrossed in the story from start to finish. Very in depth characters with great back stories, and never a dull moment. The only snag with this was the incessant use of "said Nick", "Said Vince" after each characters lines. other than that, I'm very much looking forward to delving into book #2

Epic story

I really liked the summary of this book, so thought I would give it a go. But for the first couple of hours I was unsure but decided to keep going and I am so glad I did as the book really hotted up and became a great storey. So much so that I purchased book 2 even before finishing the first book. The narrator took a little while to get used to but is very easy to listen to. If you are thinking of giving this ago then bye it you will enjoy the listen.

Slow start but great ending.
