Publisher's summary

The world’s only superhero was discovered in 1969. No others were ever found. Until now.

With Station destroyed and their friends dead, might Daniel and Abos finally be allowed some peace? Yeah, right.

Daniel’s talents are needed by a UN department taking on the bad guys, including rogue halfheroes. Abos is searching for more of her species. She soon finds she’s not the only one looking. There’s a new threat that no one saw coming. And halfheroes are being targeted.

When Daniel goes missing, it’s down to Abos to find out what’s going on and try to stop it. Her only chance of success means risking everything she’s gained since she stopped being The Deterrent.

Meanwhile, Daniel’s staging a breakout from the most secure prison ever built, but what’s waiting for him is even worse. It’s time for Daniel to find out if he’s a halfhero or a real hero.

another great read

well so far I have read the world walker series and now onto book 3 of this series. I read and listen to 2 or 3 books at a time and found if you are into Ian's writing style it will keep you entertained. a lil bit of a bog down near the middle but stick with it and it will improve. On to Johnathan's performance I gave him 3 stars for lack of inflection he seems to just be reading and not really performing maybe the next time he can maybe try a female voice or adding some dramatic spunk to his voice ,that was the main trouble I had to finishing the book.

Very Original

It is a sad, yet refreshing take on superheroes. Sainsbury manages to make Daniel expressive, Cress an unsung hero, George an unparalleled genius, and ABOS a sympathetic child. Unfortunately, I think his take on government actions/behavior maybe accurately portrayed.

Great book

I like the premise, the idea its a fantasy set in modern times. I have always liked sci fi but what grabs me about this book is how well the characters are defined
I’m looking forward to book 3

It's a great story

I like the way the story is building, but I felt things bog down a bit in the middle of this book. The good news though, is that it got back on track, and kept things rolling right along.
Time to jump into the next one, and I know I won't be disappointed.

awesome series!

I started this series after finishing the World Walker and finding to my surprise that this incredible author had literally nothing else on audible, or even in print that I know of. I then found out that he was just beginning his writing career at a later stage in life. well, there's no telling what the world has missed out on, because Ian Sainsbury has "IT"! I don't generally go for superhero stories but I absolutely love Daniel and ABOS and all the other wonderful characters in this story. I'm a character man. you can have a good story, but if your characters are shit, then your book is shit. lol! anyways, just wanted to say well done Ian. you said you read these so I'm counting on it. Keep up the great work, and bring us something huge and epic soon! Much love!

Great characters, very enjoyable part 2

I love it when I find an author I can trust with my time. Ian is one of those, with this series. Looking forward to book 3
