Inescapable Arsenal

Full Metal Superhero Series, Book 3

De: Jeffery H. Haskell

Narrado por: Emily Beresford

Amelia saved her parents, saved the US, and maybe even saved the world. But she's not out of it yet. Aliens are coming, and they aren't planning on playing nice.

When huge drones with unbelievable firepower fall from the sky, it's up to the Full Metal Superhero, some new friends, and old allies to stop them. However, alien drones aren't the only thing falling from the sky.

If Amelia can't find a way to defeat the drones and stop the threats from old enemies, she might just be at the end of her rope. If Arsenal falls...humanity falls with her.

Seems like half a book but still loved it!

I got this book on audible plus, so I am fine with its length but I hope they combine it with others when it is for sale. A very entertaining listen.

As Good as the Others

Just as good as the others. Hope the next one comes out soon. Will be hard to wait.

Great book.

These continue to be short and sweet. They are intelligent and fun.
The narrator has really become Amelia and when I read this book in print, I hear Amelia in her voice.
I’m going to continue this series.

Best superhero series ever!

I love this series! Especially getting to experience it via the voice(s) of Queen Emily Beresford bring this story to life!

I love technology-minded superheroes! Especially when there is a continuous technological evolution! Looking forward to the next.

Great book!

As good as the first 2 books, great story with interesting characters and epic battles!

Cliffhanger

The alien invasion, predicted to result in the extinction of mankind, begins.

After the events of the previous book, Arsenal has been tasked by the President with building a new super team to protect Earth.

Many of the problems from the beginning of the series have been solved: The dialogue and internal monologue issues in the first two books in the series seem mostly resolved and any issues I had with the narrator are no longer noticeable. The rate of Arsenal's technological progress seems to have been slowed down to something more typical of a superscientist from the comic books.

There is some significant character development for the protagonist (though this is a short book, so that's inherently limited). And the world-building is also proceeding apace. The plot is a bit scattershot, but it moves well. The lack of focus does limit the impact of the story, though.

The one big problem I have with this book is that the ending is a full-blown cliffhanger. If I hadn't already acquired the next book, I would be angry, but as it is, I'm just annoyed. These books are quite short; there's no reason for them not to tell complete stories.

The book is entertaining enough for what it is, but it's very insubstantial. If you're a comic book fan, this isn't a bad effort, but if you're not, it's unlikely to make you one.

Meh

Felt like Amelia caused most of her own problems in this this book and the stuff that wasn’t caused by her *happened* to her instead of her instigating the change/conflict or it being part of a natural story progression. The story is pretty much just “Aliens are coming to kill us all!” There was some subterfuge in there but not much. Definitely a step down from the Cabal arc.

And then it ended. Only 4-1/2 freakin hours. Definitely not worth a credit since the quality of the content was not even there this time to make up for it. It didn’t even feel like a full book. I’m seriously considering breaking my if-you-finish-it-don’t-return-it rule.

Won’t be picking up the next. I hope the author creates combined pack for these books at some point.
