Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Truly an enjoyable breath of fresh story telling
Revisado: 10-16-23
A fun plot, that wraps up pretty much everything by the end, and doesn't overstay its welcome.
A strong recommendation for any reader if you can enjoy some humours plot points.

All characters development undone in last chapter
Revisado: 06-11-21
MC acts like a petulant child. The twist at the end of act one is a learning experience for MC and the main plot setup.
Another reveal in the last chapter effectively says MC was actually right from the start.
Somehow everyone just loves MC at the end just because it worked out and ignores his behaviour throughout.
If you you are incapable of understanding relationships and only take in plot then it is probably a great book/ending.
MC actions/decisions make litteraly zero sense most of the time.
Genuinely unsure if it is poorly written, or the MC is supposed to be on the autism spectrum and the book is actually deeper look into that topic and I just didn't realise the intent.

Only a fool would target the deadliest order of assassins in the galaxy. The galaxy had no shortage of fools. Someone had attacked the Order, and done so with both blades and magic. It was utterly unheard of, but even the most elite of killers sometimes faced the unexpected, and on this occasion, that could even mean their demise. That is, unless they could get to the bottom of the nefarious plot.

Great book, Sci-fi with a fantasy twist.
Revisado: 12-13-20
Definitely a Sci-fi with fantasy bits, not the other way around.
MC is one of the most elite people of his group (the five) so there isn't as much character development, but the plot was good and has a mystery through line that is engaging enough to keep the story moving.
The character relationships are not explored as much as I would have hoped in a 2 book set, but it feels like there is plenty of room for some twists and growth in the coming books.
All in all, the quality of the books are very solid.
If you like the premise of a typical Sci-fi elite MC and his unit, but twisted into Sci-fi assassin and his pirate buddy & junior assassin. Then this book won't let you down.

Escaping wrongful imprisonment wasn't something Connor had in mind, but being put into stasis aboard Earth's first interstellar colony ship was something he couldn't have prepared for. For 300,000 colonists, the new colony brings the promise of a fresh start...a second chance. Connor might be the wrong man for the colony, but he's the right man to see that it survives what's coming.

Growing with the characters
Revisado: 09-26-18
I love the feeling of growing with the characters that is so often absent in action stories.
Very excited to see where the story goes.

Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting - waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model A Ford.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.
