Superhuman

Superhuman Series, Book 1

De: Evan Currie

Narrado por: Kevin T. Collins

From the halls of Montezuma...

Former Marine Captain Alexander Hale only wanted a weekend out with some old buddies. He could have done without the gang war, the shootout, and...oh yeah, the alien abduction.

Now he's in the middle of something he doesn't understand, never asked for, and is having quite possibly the greatest time of his life. Semper Fi and which way are the shores of Tripoli anyway?

Takes 3 hours to get to powers

Narrator basically reads the book with little difference in voices. Story takes incredibly long to become interesting.

It's another hit!

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Great storyline and lots of potential for a nice long series! As with all Evan Currie books, this one is well worth the read!

Enjoyable but short.

I really enjoyed the book, and am hoping it gets expanded on. However, the book has a very slow buildup, however by the time it feels like it's really getting in the groove, it's over. I feel like the ending should have been the halfway point for a longer story. Definitely enjoyable, just hope more comes out.

awful narrator

I deleted it after about an hour. The narrator is awful and I couldn't take listening to him

Takes a logical approach to super powers

Unlike most books with metahumans that sometimes take a comic step from reality. Evan takes a well thought out and unique method for gaining super powers. Alien probes are wandering the galaxy taking out organic life and enhanced the most violent humans it could find when it arrived and set them on a path of rampage.

And things happen from there, good plotting. With the author being Canadian, Iliked this line. "you know the worst thing about the Canadians?” Mickey asked. “What?” “No one ever suspects them,”

A bit overly-complicated

I had to rewind and re-listen and try to commit names to memory when I started listening as too much was thrown at the reader too fast. The story was good and thus the 4-star rating. The narration was solid and smooth with no noticeable flubs. I liked the characters, but because it there were thrown at you fast and furious, it took away from enjoying the story. The story is interesting and I will pickup book 2 when it goes on sale. The slow build up of the super-powers leaves lots of room to grow and should make an exciting story and the mixture of gang members, military, and civilians should provide some tension in future books.

I like the unknown parts like who the aliens are really

I really enjoyed it cool take on the origin of super powers being a plot to wipe out life in its entirely rather than normal super soldiers from an experiment

Great!

Great story! I’ve listened to this book 3 or 4
Times and it’s great! I recommend it to anyone looking for a cool story.

Good character creation

You were really able to visualize the people in the story. You could empathize with them.

It's an okay story.

I liked the "real world" aspect of this story. I didn't especially like that Alex turned into a quipping, generic super hero by the end of it. I would have preferred that he use the tactics and mindset he demonstrated at the beginning.

There were no real plot twists nor would I say there was any sort of emotional investment. So if that is what you are looking for, you are barking up the wrong tree.. I would recommend you read it the way you might read a standard issue comic book.

My last point is this: I get it. He's a Marine. He's a badass. Everyone who knows he is a Marine knows that he is also a badass. Stop rubbing my face in it and let Alex live his life without the constant reminders of his badass-ness. True badasses never need to advertise. True badass writers do not need to tell us that their main characters are badasses for us to know.
