Utilizing his power to take control over the city of Chicago, he forces the human citizenry to live in a place where they can be killed at any time, for any reason by an Epic. Impervious to bullets, bombs, and blades, he can transform anything unliving around him into steel. Steelheart was one of the first of the Epics, humans transformed by Calamity into near god-like beings. Ten years ago Calamity appeared in the sky and changed all that. Ten years ago the United States was not a fractured nation being fought over by savage warlords. Ten years ago mankind was living in a world run by humans, in cities with things like electrical power, sunlight and clean water. Yet I am always happy to stumble across a book that renews my faith in them like this one did.
Too much of a time commitment, too many disappointments over the years. But even though I like some things about series, I constantly swear I am done with them. The romance which undergoes a slow buildup with lots of hurdles along the way can be richer for the length of time we spend on it. The epic story line that requires several books to tell in full can be quite delightful. Yes, they can be great, containing recurring characters that we fall a little bit farther in love with after every book. When I saw this book in the store I was leery of picking it up.
