About this listen
Superheroes exist.
Fifteen years ago, a freak accident transformed four people into the world's first, and only, super humans. The Newton Force. Led by the brilliant Dr. Newton, the superhero team is now worshiped by millions. Is their adoration undeserved? Malcolm Mills believes so. Years ago he lost friends due to The Newton Force's negligence.
On the 15th anniversary of the team's transformation, Malcolm loses another friend in a brazen attack conducted by a low level villain. Like clockwork, The Newton Force show up afterwards, give their condolences, sign some autographs, then zip off to a parade in their honor. Now it's up to Malcolm to find the criminal who killed his friend. A criminal who is rapidly evolving from villain to supervillain. What he discovers will blur the line between good and evil.
Superheroes exist. But it will take a normal man to remind everyone what it really means to be a hero.

This book drew me in very effectively, so I'm now looking forward to the next book in the series. There are a lot of tropes used well, and others that seem to have been being set up only to be averted skillfully. A lot of world building is provided by the context of the story, giving a rich world that has plenty more to explore without having all (or even most) of these things explicitly described as well, which works nicely.
Good story, pulls you in, wanting more

Malcolm as war veteran has seen his share of action but the last thing he expected was to get caught up in it at work. With his friend left for dead by a low level villain the last thing he wants to see is the only super hero team in the world, The Newton Force swoop down for a photo opportunity after it is all over. Enough is enough and if the hero's can't or won't do anything then he will. But just how does a normal human stop what could turn out to be a super villain? Malcolm doesn't care he will cross that bridge once he finds him. At the same time Cameron, the flyer on the team, is feeling less and less like a hero and more like a tv commercial, he longs for the days when the team actually leave there headquarters for something other than another parade in there honour. Can he convince the rest of the team that there might be a new dangerous player in town? And if he can't can he at least help Malcolm to get the justice he needs for his friend?
I really liked the narrator. He had a really nice speaking voice that was like music to the ears.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
