Steelheart. Book one

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, coauthor of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn Trilogy, presents Steelheart, the first book in the Reckoners series, an action-packed thrill ride that will leave readers breathless. Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics . . . nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart'the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning'and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience. He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge. [Star] "Snappy dialogue, bizarre plot twists, high intensity action, and a touch of mystery and romance; it's a formula that sucks readers into the prologue, slings them through one tension-filled encounter after the other, and then..leaves them panting for the sequel."'Booklist "The near-constant action, Sanderson's whiz-bang imaginings, and a fully realized sense of danger make this an absolute page-turner."'Publisher's Weekly "Perfect for genre fans who love exciting adventure stories with surprising plot twists."'School Library Journal "A straight-up Marvel Comics'style action drama featuring a small band of human assassins taking on costumed, superpowered supervillains with melodramatic monikers."'Kirkus Reviews "Fantastic! The suspense is relentless and the climax explosive, with a resolution that I'll be thinking about for a long time." 'James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series and The Eye of Minds "Unfortunately for my ego, Steelheart is another win for Sanderson, proving that he's not a brilliant writer of epic fantasy, he's simply a brilliant writer. Period." 'Patrick Rothfuss, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The Name of the Wind From the Hardcover edition.

  • "Il y a dix ans, un éclat venu du ciel a frappé les personnes les plus malveillantes de la planète, leur conférant de puissants pouvoirs. Ce sont les Epiques. A Chicago, l'un d'eux, appelé Coeur d'acier, s'est emparé du pouvoir. Seuls les Redresseurs, un groupe d'humains ordinaires qui ont étudié les Epiques, peuvent le détruire. David, dont le père a été tué par Coeur d'acier, en fait partie.--[Memento]."
