À propos de cet audio

A deserted island. An impregnable fortress. Step up or be stepped on.

Gus is a henchman separated from his friends at his new job, a henchman on an orbiting space base. He's happy with the gig, and has no real delusions of grandeur. Well...small delusions, but he’s seen all too often what happens to minions that get too uppity around their supervillain bosses.

His father had pulled a few strings and landed him a henchman position in hopes he could make something of himself. Before he's barely gotten used to the job, Gus narrowly escapes the base's destruction and is chucked at the planet below. The only reason he survived the fall was a damaged escape pod and the activation of his own latent powers. Marooned on a deserted island and yet somehow being hunted, Gus needs to step up and become the master of his own story.

Gus is a henchman, some would now say a villain, so there’s no chance of a hero coming to his rescue.

This book is great and very unique.

Nothing like zombies and super hero, which still makes sense.

Travis baldree great as always.

To be a hero

I expected more from this book. It's a short story, and the events are kind of interesting. However I fell asleep multiple times trying to get trough this book. I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's the way the story is built. There's no main tread, just events trown at you. And there's no descriptions. We never know how things looks, feels, smell, taste ... We get very little details from the author. The main character has no character. He has no real objectives and most of the time he just run around aimlessly. He spend all his time talking with himself. Fights are hard to follow. He is grinding the same monsters again and again with very few details how. Quests just popup once completed by mistake. There's no cultivation, no struggle. Just skills appearing from nothing.

Beside that, I guess the book is ok. It's mostly well written. I like early stranded setup and the manor concept. Some universe mechanics are original and interesting. Sometimes mechanics are very detailed with lot of steps. I supposed it's good if you like that. I was completely lost most of the times.

Travis Baldree is always great. However this is definitely not his best performance. The Nick voice is agressive and annoying.

Disapointing

It's amazing. This world is well formed. I am a game master and I've been running a heroes unlimited game for years. Putting as much realism in my world such as acceleration force, pressure and more; the way he explains how powers is near identical. I can't recommend this book more. Thank you for immoralitizing a price of my homebrew. Thank you.

Maybe bias but this is fantastic
