Powerless A Superhero Novel eBook Tony Cooper

First off, I am pretty sure that I must have a newer version of this text than some of the other reviewers here. I say that because I am extremely sensitive to editing errors in books and I noticed maybe two in the entire book. So I can only assume that whatever mistakes there were have no been corrected. The book is written using a lot of U.K. English instead of American: things like "saviour" instead of "savior". But that's not a big deal.

The story itself is very dark. There is a lof of violence (as one might expect from a superhero novel) and also a lot of sexual content (which one might not). This is very clearly NOT a book for children. It includes rape and all manner of other sexual content not suitable for kids.

Basically, this book is really 2 different stories: one which takes place in 1993 about a team of superheroes, and the second in 2012 which is about those same heroes (or mostly one in particular) 18 years later. The chapters tend to alternate between the two stories (although not always) and the stories are somewhat related.

The main character (Martin/Roadblock) is a superhero. He was once part of a team but has spent the last 18 years basically hiding from life, working as a night watchman. His one connection to his old life is his buddy Vincent, who was also a member of the team. Vincent gets murdered and Martin embarks on a series of events that bring him back into contact with all the things from his old life he's been trying to avoid.

At its heart, this book is a murder mystery. It's a classic whodunnit, except with superheroes and for the most part, it all hangs together very well. The story was easy to follow without the author beating me over the head with it. The characters are interesting, the action is good, and the mystery kept me guessing until the very end.

It's not a perfect story, by any means. There are some plot twists at the end that I found extremely far-fetched. I will not, of course, spoil the book by revealing any of them here. But suffice to say there are a few plot-holes in this story - or at least some things that are left unexplained.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed this book and upon finishing it, I immediately downloaded the sample for the sequel. So that's a sure indication that I enjoyed it enough to want to keep reading more.

Powerless A Superhero Novel eBook Tony Cooper Reviews

This is one of the most imaginative superhero stories I have ever read, and I've read quite a few. But the editing is worse than almost any other novel I have ever purchased - it takes a few extra seconds every paragraph just to decipher where the commas should be. That adds up to at least an extra hour to read the book. It's still well worth the effort, though.
this author likes the sound of his voice too much. he drones on and on about every facet of every day. after a full four pages of how tawdry his flat was I gave up
This book sucks! A waste of time
While there were some twists, they didn't make sense. I had a hard time connecting with the characters because their motivations seemed to change as the story progressed. I did not understand the "bad guy" or if he was even supposed to be the main villain; I liked it better at the beginning where the "villain" seems to be the hero's own issues. There were some plot holes, mainly towards the end--as if the author wrote the book but never went back to make sure everything lined up and connected properly. The first half is good, but the second half is not worth it.
