Rise of the Circle

Meta Superhero Novel, Book 3

By: Tom Reynolds

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

As metahumans emerge throughout the world, some greet them as saviors while others see them as a threat to humanity itself. A group of elite soldiers come into possession of the most powerful metabands seen yet, with the ability to destroy what was thought to be indestructible: the metabands themselves.

With the destruction of the Silver Island Metahuman Detention Facility, Bay View City goes into total lockdown. The Alpha Team impose their protection, but at a price: the complete and total ban of metahumans within the city. Refusal to follow is punishable by execution.

Forced to leave the city he calls home, Connor is given a second chance at an elite prep school across the bay - one with a very big secret.

Teenagers save the world

Overall the book was very entertaining and a fun adventure. Definitely one of the best narration a I've ever listened to. I'm just not always the most thrilled when the power to save the world is placed on the shoulders of a teenager.

awesome

I really enjoyed it. the writing was very entertaining. I am awaiting the new book

Really enjoying this series!

I’m really enjoying the listen in these books. I’m look forward to the Audible version of Midnight too. Just a couple of notes. ***Spoilers if you want to read this series***

In Second Wave, Connor & Midnight discover that he learns at an accelerated rate through training and is able to retain what he learns through instinct and muscle memory, yet in this book he is sucker punched pretty easily by a drunk that is trying to take advantage of Sarah. I get the plot device to give credence to Sarah’s prowess with martial arts, but this leaves the question: did the skills that Connor acquired before diminish, or was he distracted by the girl? With his training, he should not have been sucker punched at all.

Second, it’s never fully confirm if all of the first generation’s bands have all come back online with Connor’s now being the main conduit. You give us a few villains from the first generation, but how about a theory from Midnight as to why Connor’s band have supplanted The Governor’s as the main conduit? I’m assuming a bigger story on this will come with the next main installment, but this occurred to me during my second listen.

Keep it coming Tom, I’m still reading!

All around great

great story line, character development, and quite entertaining. I loved it. The teenagery of the protagonist was believably annoying at times, as well lol

Great story!!!

I'm a big fan of this series, and once again Mr. Reynolds doesn't disappoint. I'm a huge fan of the Super hero genre of fiction and this is one of the better series that I've read. Read this people, and then you can thank me later.

Great to listen

awesomeness

recommend this book to any adventure buff. great series. the rest is auto text to fill quota: da man who is the best for you to turn and come back home to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance

Fun to listen to

Very enjoyable story. Nothing serious but good imagination. The author is very descriptive throughout the story. Some of the story line was fairly easy to foresee but it didn't bother me. I especially enjoyed the story towards the end and I look forward to the next book.

excellent series. cannot wait to read

midnights prequel as well as future Meta books. Don't make us wait too long Tom, and keep up the good work!

Voice

The voice actor really makes this story better. I enjoyed the overall plot even with the contrived and forced story elements.
