Publisher's summary

Paul Steele, known to the world as Baron Steele, isn’t your average masked crimefighter. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t even wear a mask. And he doesn’t even fight crime anymore. That’s for the guys with too much brawn and not enough brain.

No, Steele works in consulting. After having his license revoked by the Guild of Masked Crimefighters, he decided he would scout talent instead. Match up heroes with their villainous counterparts, help the young bucks and buckettes discover their talents and abilities. That sort of thing.

It’s all going fine and well until Steele gets a bad cup of coffee. No. Seriously. Day after day, the same little twerp gets his order wrong. From there, it’s a downhill spiral into chaos, and Steele finds himself fighting for his freedom in a court of law. Did he really kill a barista over a cup of joe?

Don't miss this hilarious spin on the superhero genre from the number one Audible best-selling duo of Rhett C. Bruno and Jaime Castle.

Absolutely charming

I have read all the Raptors/Harrier books. This might seem short but it’s absolutely brilliant and free. Don’t miss out on one of the best additions to a full series I have listened to!

A fun short listen!

Baron Steele was a fun listen and I hope there will be more in the series. RC Bray’s narration was excellent.

Not too bad

It was to say, different, as the best word. But I can understand being upset by bad coffee lol. But as a whole I don’t think I would buy it as a series. Good for a short story though lol

Just Awesome!

Please make a full book in this universe. I want to know history of the characters. Baron Steele is a great character.

Okay, now you owe me...

This Audible Original took me back to my high school days, rummaging in the comic book stores and finding a Pristine Volume 1 Issue 1 of a great comic only to find out the publisher didn’t know what they had and canceled the title!!!

So now, Audible, you owe me!

With Baron Steele you’ve introduced a lovable anti-hero and a cast of characters in a post Marvel/DC world! The writing was crisp and the story was filled with depth and nuance. Hell, you even packed in a deus ex machina and a couple of plot twists in a solid 47 minutes!

If you don’t realize the gem you have on your hands, let me help you out: Baron Steele js a fantastic read for anyone who loves good storytelling and a good cup of coffee!

Issue #2 better be in production... you owe me!!!

Funny and clever with perfect narration

There have been many new twists on the superhero genre in recent years, and lots of them have been clever and amusing. This is another. Short, nice punch (pun intended), and humorous. If this was a full book or book series, I would be interested.
The narration was perfect; and who expected a British accent? 🤣🤣
A short fun blast to lighten up my afternoon.

Super hero justice

It's a short story but it's a good one. it's 47 minutes butts it's a good story. So give it a listen it's an audible original and it comes with your membership as in its free.

I'll have to try this again when I'm not too busy.

for a short story I struggled with and wondered if I'd read the lengthy time right.
