Historia
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.

Wil Wheaton absolutely ruined this book for me
Revisado: 11-12-24
The story was good. But the book was irreparably marred by the abysmal performance from Wil Wheaton. Character voices had so little differential between them that it became difficult to follow sections of dialogue. The worst part was his female voices. Nearly every female voice was deeper than the main character and took on a 300 pound, angry, burly, biker vibe. I have listened to Wil Wheaton narration before, Bobiverse series is great, but he certainly fumbled this one. I will not listen to the rest of the series so long as he is narrating, just not worth it.

Historia
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.

Would be 5 stars with a better narrator
Revisado: 01-16-24
Loved the story, very unique, witty, and fun! My problem was with the narrator. Wil Wheaton made exactly ZERO distinction between the main character (Male) and the lead supporting character (female), which made conversations when both characters were present hard to follow. He also really struggled with accents! Sometimes they would be there, sometimes they wouldn't and sometimes they would just fall away or present themselves mid-sentence. Very hard to listen to from that perspective. If you can ignore that, then its a great book.

Historia
Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks. In the evenings, he listens to the fiscal news on his phone, already preparing for the next grueling day in the cutthroat realm of finance. Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.

Meh... Story is full of plot flaws
Revisado: 12-21-23
I wanted to like this, but the story is full of plot flaws and things that simply don't make any sense. Why didn't he tell the police about the emails? What did he have to lose by doing that? Who or what organization does his mysterious benefactor work for and why did they chose him? Just not a well thought out story line.

terrible

this was described as a collection of short story, but it is not. rather, it is a collection of incomplete story fragments with complex, unexplained, unfinished plot lines.

Historia
An electromagnetic pulse blinds the U.S. Cars crash. Planes fall. Chaos reigns. Power is restored within minutes, but it’s already too late. Russian nukes are falling. U.S. allies around the world are already wiped out. The United States will cease to exist inside of five minutes. After giving the order to launch a full-scale retaliation–dooming the planet–the president, his staff, Secret Service and those lucky enough to be visiting the White House, are whisked below ground, where they board several Earth Escape Pods. As the EEPs launch into Earth orbit, missiles descend.

Historia
Sometimes the worst storms aren't from Mother Nature, and sometimes the worst nightmares aren't the ones in our heads. Mike Mitchell, an average New Yorker already struggling to keep his family together, suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive when an increasingly bizarre string of disasters starts appearing on the world's news networks. As both the real world and the cyber world come crashing down, bending perception and reality, a monster snowstorm cuts New York off from the world, turning it into a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems.

the main character is really just a passenger in the story. not really a hero or even really an active influence on the overall story. Mediocre at best

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
