Review: Excellent, especially for a 1st from an indy novelist!

This book was surprisingly good. Book snobs can say what they will, but what the author has accomplished with his first novel is an amazing and rare achievement. Ben Beguer has created a world of superheroes and villains that is both believable (as much as such can be) and entertaining. Not only that, but his characters are likable and multidimensional. Many first-time authors simply do not understand why an inner transformation is necessary to make a main character believable. However, Beguer seems to not only understand this principle, but also embrace it as he uses it as a device for convincing the reader to be fully invested in the welfare of the protagonist. At 611 action-packed pages, there are many worse ways you could spend your Kindle budget. Do yourself a favor and drop a few quid on this gem of a first novel written by a promising indy author who knows how to entertain his readers.
