Steelheart

The book I chose for second semester SSR is Steelheart by Brandon Anderson. This is a science fiction book that talks about Earth in the mere future. My favorite character easily has to be the main protagonist, David. David is a normal man trying to get revenge for his father that was killed by an Epic. Epic's are people with extraordinary powers that hold themselves above the law. The Epic, Steelheart, killed his father because his father stood up to him. The main reason I like David is because he won't give up. He does ten years of research on every Epic to find their weaknesses. He eventually tries to join a group that could kill him at any moment, but he wants to take the risk. As long as he gets his revenge, he will die happy.
