4.0 out of 5 starsA great read about Superhumans actually existing but keep themselves hidden ...
By Stew, Chocobo_Sage (PSN: sas1983red) on 9 July 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
A great read about Superhumans actually existing but keep themselves hidden from public view. Until that is a bilionaire announces a no holds barred tournament featuring 13 Superhumans in a giant secured combat zone called the Arena.
Comic book fan Matthew Moxon can't wait to see real Superheroes duke it out, but in a series of strange events. He finds himself entered into the Arena, with no powers and facing the most dangerous humans in the world. He must outwit them if he has anychance to survive.

I loved the idea of a comic book lover having to face up to real superhumans and having to outsmart them in order to survive. Really smart and funny story with some exciting action too!

5.0 out of 5 starsI helped kickstarter fund this book and I was glad to. Blake Northcott is a really good author ...
By Mr. N. Gurr on 9 Sept. 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
I helped kickstarter fund this book and I was glad to. Blake Northcott is a really good author who captures well rounded people. The hero of this story is generally an ordinary guy in an extraordinary position. The setting is evocative and summons a imaginative colorful world. And the events, well there extraordinary but never beyond belife, the rules that exist in the world are maintained and consistent which is a cornerstone to a well told tale.

I suggest you read this if you like this sort of thing or think you might because with a story this well told you cannot go wrong!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsA very enjoyable book. 10/10 would read again
By Line Poulsen on 24 Aug. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
This was a very enjoyable read. I bought the kindle, started reading and simply could not put it back down. It's got great humor, a clever and twisting plot and it has a good pace to it. I never felt the story was dragging along and I never felt like I didn't want to read on (I am very bad at giving up on books halfway in, because they simply lack that something that makes me want to keep reading and never ever stop).
This I will definitely recommend to friends and family alike!

5.0 out of 5 starsSuper humans are Super bcos they are HUMAN!
By Little Miss Dx on 6 Aug. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book was written at a pace that will keep you gripped and interested in the fate of Matthew Moxon.
The future world is believable and feels as if it could be our future if money is the only form of power.
This book offers super heroes, the future, a love story, friendship story, psychos, a death match with Super Humans and a massive twist.
Simply excellent and I can't wait to read Assault or Attrition Book 2!

5.0 out of 5 starsCaptivating and completely immersive
By Lorinaon on 8 Aug. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book goes from strength to strength, with minor similarities to the hunger games (any fans of HG should definitely give this book a try) it brings a fantastic sense of morality to a concept that is often overlooked when people consider death matches or super powers. Utterly un-put-down-able

5.0 out of 5 starsBRILLIANT!
By John Roof on 14 Jan. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Stumbled across this while looking for something else but the description of the story and reviews made me very curious as it sounded great. I was not disappointed! Couldn't put it down and it caused me a few late nights and long visits to the loo at work to "just get to the end of the chapter to see what happens"
Fantastic book and I'll be putting several of my friends on to it!

4.0 out of 5 starsIt's Not The Hunger Games
By Aileen on 3 May 2016
Format: Paperback
"You'll like it; it's like The Hunger Games."

That's what I was told right after being recommended this book, and I groaned. I didn't want another Hunger Games. I was sick of dystopian teen dramas, with angtsy characters fighting each other in a battle even adults wouldn't be able to win, to over through a corrupt government and win the day.

This book is not like The Hunger Games.

Yeah, there is fighting in an arena, but I feel that's as far as the comparison goes. Yeah, Mox has his teen drama moments, as every 29 year old who chooses to be in an Arena Mode tournament would, but you'll get over that quickly for everyone.

Yeah, I enjoyed Mox's POV and his thoughts on the world and life, but diversity in characters (with nice homages to classic comic book characters) makes up for any slip in Mox's character. This book is funny and surprising and dorky in just the right amounts.

If you have ever had a discussion with friends about who would win in a battle; Wolverine or Superman, The Hulk or The Thing, Wonder Woman or Captain America or any in between, this book is for you.

4.0 out of 5 starsDecent read.
By John Walker on 7 Jun. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
At the outset, this seems like a fairly simple premise - Superheroes fighting in a big arena match. You might think it was a Hunger Games clone with a hint of Avengers to season. However it has a lot more going for it than that. The writer brings a palpable lover of the superhero genre, it's conventions and it's idiosyncrasies. And ultimately these sorts of things are only stories about people. And we have a very likable protagonist in Matthew Moxon. He's an aging comic book geek. He's in his thirties and is still drifting through life. He's a fairly accurate sketch of the sort of person who loves superhero comics today...I say this with love and without a hint of disdain. I am one of those people.
The book is based about 30 years from now, when the economic crises of today have spun off in logical directions, creating new underclasses. And also we have superhumans. And where there is something new, there is someone who wants to turn it into reality television. Mox finds himself trying out for a superhero death match tournament, despite having no powers, in order to get money he badly needs.
The book asks some interesting questions about society's obsession with lurid reality television and our need for escapism, and what that does to morality. I doesn't offer any answers ( it is still book one), but it was a pretty good read. If you like Superheroes, this is a fairly new spin.
