Save State Hero

Save State Hero, Book 1

By: William D. Arand

Narrated by: Stephanie Savannah

Have you ever woken up, rolled over, and thought to yourself, “I’m pretty sure I’m working for a Super Villain.”

If you haven’t, then maybe you’re not the type of person to work for a global corporation.

Edmund, however, is just such an individual.

He works for Legion: a corporation of unimaginable reach that he barely understands, a corporation that seems determined to put itself smack dab in the middle of a brewing civil war between Super Heroes and Super Villains.

That doesn’t even take into account the fact that the governments of the world don’t seem to be taking too keenly to Legion, either.

All of that is mostly irrelevant to Edmund, though. He works for the company and does all he can to make sure they succeed.

From cleaning up after a bad operation and disposing of bodies to providing hush money, getting rid of agents from opposing intelligence communities, or just helping an informant escape from a Super Villain, Edmund has done it all in this line of work.

That doesn’t fill up the entirety of his life, however.

The rest of it is trying to get a date with the woman he likes and looking out for his little sister while hiding the fact he himself has a superpower.

A superpower that lets him save and load the world whenever he likes as if it were a video game and subject to his personal whims.

At least, that’s what he thought in the beginning.

very interesting

This reminds me very much of Quicksave from the book series The Perfect Run, which is also a good book so this is a compliment. It's interesting to think about the possibilities and how far back this goes and intertwines into the story. good if you're caught up with the current series interested to see how it ties into the other aligning book series

Challenging read, but fun

It was a little difficult to keep track of where or rather when things were, as I usually only listen to it on my drive to and from work. A fun spinoff.

confused

I did like it because it picks up some of Super Save. Weird shit like a lot but not. I did enjoy it

Great premise, pretty good story, but inconsistent

Premise. Fun, but, interestingly limited power. unfortunately, a lot of the characters actions didn't make sense, or went against a strongly established pattern early on. It left me wondering why time was wasted focusing a great deal on certain important personal motivations, only to impassively ignore or dismiss them later. And there where a lot of, WTH, WHY are they doing this, and why is everyone blindly going along.
The narration was ok, but it was distracting for a female to narrate a male main character story. Again, why? Felix and Runner's voices were incredibly whiny, high pitched, and irritating.

Another great book by William d Arand

I really enjoyed this new story and the main character is really fun. Stephanie Savannah does a great job narrating
