Summary

Engineer. Survivor. Supervillain. 

When a down-on-his-luck engineer ends up coming into possession of a rundown suit of power-armor, he sees an opportunity to make some quick cash by selling it off to the nearest supervillain. 

Unfortunately for him, what should have been a quick and easy sale to pay off his debts quickly grows into an ongoing series of events that serve only to drag him deeper and deeper into the criminal underbelly of the city he calls home. 

In no time at all, Erich finds himself fending off neo-Nazi gang members, crazed capes, and the dangerous affections of his newest employer's criminally insane daughter. 

All he wanted to do was make a quick buck . . . .

A fun comic book in audio form

I don’t actually remember why I picked out this title, but I’m glad I did. It’s a fun little yarn with solid voice acting. I blitzed through it in a very short time. I’m about to go and look for more from this author.

A surprisingly well thought out pulp

This is some illustrations short of being a graphic novel and that’s not a slight on it at all. Thoroughly enjoyable, it keeps up the pace and does a nice job of setting up a sequel without feeling like the story is unfinished.

A good reading too, with nice variation in voices without sounding like they were played for comic effect. Recommend.

surprisingly Brilliant

A decently thought-out plot premises that is well written throughout.
The details of the surroundings are enough to get by.
The characters grow on you more and more, and you just can't help it . More than once, you will find yourself hoping for different characters to do things.
It is still a fun book to listen to. I enjoyed this once, and it will be staying in my library for a relisten at some point in the future.
highly recommended!!!

A hidden gem

This book deserves a lot more recognition and I can't recommend it enough. I didn't have much hope considering it was free but i would have gladly paid for it had I known how well written and engaging the story would be. If you're a fan of the genre or the TV show the boys this will be right up your street.
