About this listen
A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson, the best-selling author of the "Stormlight Archive" and "Mistborn" series, and co-author Steven Michael Bohls.
When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right.
Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.
They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled.
Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.
But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas. So Jax and his ragtag team - the few who remain of the once-mighty Texas Reckoners - must take their battle to this floating fortress of riches - and defeat the invincible.
To avenge what has been lost. And rise anew.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 310
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.

Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, super-powered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.

It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

A Fun, Action-Packed Story
The longer I listened to this book, the more I realized how much I missed the series. Great for new fans and perfect for older fans, LUX has all the charisma, personality, and action that the original series had.
The story follows a new group of Reckoners as they take on the Epics who live in a floating city. The book takes its time developing the characters and their personalities, making each one real and someone to cheer for.
Jax has a great story arc. From a normal kid to a full fledged warrior, I loved his personality and the dialogues he had with others. This book truly shone when Jax interacted with the main villain, who was no laughing matter.
The action and plot were tight and thrilling. The dialogue was great and I loved the twists. This is a great audiobook for anyone who loves superheroes. It certainly helps that the narrator sounds remarkably like Chris Evans. The story ends on a cliffhanger, which means I am ready for more!

Loved it!
Good story, enjoyed it very much. Not sure how much was Sanderson and how much was Bohls, but the story was every bit as good as the first trilogy. Definitely recommend it for those who enjoyed the other reckoners books.

Very good book, excellent narrator
The narrator/performer is absolutely fabulous. He does different voices for all characters, of course, but even different narrator voices when the book shifts perspectives. He is truly great.
The book is very good, but admittedly, not excellent, due to some odd plot points that I don't think make perfect sense.

Great addition to the Reckoners universe
I loved the original trilogy, so I bought this as soon as I saw it and marathoned it right away. It's an excellent story! The new cast of characters was a lot of fun, and it had a lot of heart. There's a lot of pseudoscience that's a little ridiculous, but that's a mainstay of soft science fiction-- in a world where people are given powers, incorrect cellular biology is not where I stop suspending my disbelief. If you're into biology or programming at all, though, expect to roll your eyes a couple times, then let it pass because the rest of it is so exciting! I hadn't listened to the other audiobooks, but the narrator injects a lot of emotion into the tense moments and can do a very diverse cast of voices that actually add to the experience. It's a bit cheesy, and a bit dark, but generally, I'd highly recommend this!

Another good Reconner story
Jax is orphaned by an epic and ends up joining the Reconners. They go up against a epic named Life force that can heal himself and those around him and head a floating city
Is you enjoyed the other Reconner stories you will enjoy this one.

Easy to follow, fun, and entertaining. Fantastic audio performance! It's exactly what I am looking for when selecting the next audio book. I was sad when it ended and now I must wait for the next book. The characters are brought to life by the excellent narration and performance. Thank you all!

I am ceaselessly amazing at how he can write consistently entertaining material, given the volume of his ongoing library.
MacLeod Andrews is consistently incredible as well. His mastery of his art is evident with each character that he brings to life.
