About this listen
He's back. He's bitter. And he's better than before. Helped by the enigmatic Arthur, Simon has escaped torture, but the Green Hood's underlings are hot on his heels. He believes they are safe for now—or so they thought.
Regrouping on a secluded Scottish island with his wife and friend, Simon and the others train for a fight they know will be bigger than they've ever faced.
Still confused by his new superhero abilities, Simon tests his wits and strength to uncover the full extent of his heroic powers.
When he discovers the true identity of the Green Hood, the ensuing chaos drags them back into the fray.
Cue the intense, epic battle between Simon and the Green Hood.
In this powerful follow-up to Simon: Not Your Average Superhero, Lucas W Mayberry delivers once again the valiant superhero origin story.

Story
After thousands of years, Cain awakens to find that the world has gone on without him. In his slumber, humans and people of power have stopped being afraid of, well, anything. Beyond that, they’ve become cruel for cruelty’s sake, fascinated with their ability to spread death through famine, war, and even plagues. In their minds, they have no equal. They’re wrong.

Story
Alexander Grant is a little too good at a few too many things. Two dozen martial arts. Twice that many languages. Chess, the piano, sports, forging excused absences, you name it. He graduated high school top of his class 17 times. Of course, no one knows any of this. Not that he wants to go unnoticed. It’s just safer that way.

Story
Dear Mom, do you even know where I ended up? At the gates of Hell. I wish I was being dramatic, but Darkwood Academy is just that. I’m constantly bullied and tormented by the students here. All because they take directions from the Kings of Darkwood. Yeah, I laughed too. Who calls themselves that? But Daxon, Mason, and Colton are three guys who have made it their mission to make my life hell. I hope you’re watching over me from above. I know I’m looking up to you. Because now more than ever, I need a guardian angel. Love, Phoenix.

A follow-up to the original SIMON, this installment has the titular everyman escaping his captors but still in pursuit from the Green Hood. We spend more time with supporting characters like Vasia and Author this time, the Green Hood’s identity is revealed, and the book ends on a cliffhanger setting up the next volume. Overall, the second book continues the cheeky, post-modern tone of its predecessor, and the writing feels tighter and more focused this time. For American ears, again, the audiobook narrator does take some getting used to.

New challenges & deeper layers to his abilities!
In "Simon: Superhero in Training" by Lucas W. Mayberry, narrated by the engaging Steve Field, the writing crackles with intensity as Simon faces new challenges and discovers deeper layers to his abilities. Field's narration brings each character to life with vibrant energy and clarity, enhancing the story's gripping suspense and emotional depth. Mayberry's sequel is a thrilling continuation of Simon's journey, promising an epic showdown that fantasy fans won't want to miss.

Good story and performance
This is the first book of the series that I have listened to. I do not feel like I have missed any backstory from the previous book. The story plays out in an interesting manner that is both odd and fun. The performance was hard to follow at first until I became acclimated to the heavy accent and tremulous voice.

Right back too it!
In this thrilling follow up, Simon Chronicles, we find our hero is still on the run from the Green Hood while managing to escape his captors. We delve deeper into the lives of supporting characters. No spoliers here but we finally learn the identity of the Green Hood. Obvisiously the conclusion is yet another cliffhanger setting us up for another installment soon.The book concludes with a cliffhanger that perfectly sets up the next volume. I have say that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading/listening to these two books. The are extreme well written. You can tell the author took his time!

Great sequel!
I thorough enjoyed Simon: Superhero in Training by Lucas W. Mayberry. This second book in the series combines modern sci-fi elements with traditional legends. There are more revelations and backstory to explain what’s going on with Simon. The training scenes were a bit long winded for my tastes, but I’m not interested in martial arts. Still a lot of things hanging so I hope to see the next book soon. The narration by Steve Field was excellent. He created voices for the many characters and brought them and the story to life. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

Enjoyable sequel to "Simon: Not Your Average Superhero." A lot of the mystery surrounding the making of superheroes was revealed. Ends in a cliffhanger, which isn't ideal, but will be looking for the third book.

Ends in a Massive Cliffhanger!!
This is something that Upsets me and many others, ending a book in a cliffhanger and not even having the next book available. There was not even a aprox date the next book would be coming out. As a New author this is a great way to LOSS anyone interested in his writing.
Because of this I Do Not Recommend this book.
Narrator does a good job with the various characters and the Entire Storyline.
