Blackjack #1
Blackjack Villain
I'm Blackjack. A small-time villain. I know I’m not a big leaguer, but more than one wannabe hero has ended up in traction after getting in my way. I mostly stick to easy stuff, though, like popping banks and armored cars, and make a little money where I can. Living good is nice, you know?
I thought I had it all figured out, until I found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: A slot in a big time super villain team.
The gig seemed like a dream. Steal bits of dusty old crap from different parts of the world and make serious cash. But little would I know that what would start small would end up sending me halfway across the galaxy (or was it to a different dimension?), and at the end of it all the fate of our planet, and everyone living in it, would be in my hands.
Oh, and I met a girl.
A girl that changed everything.

So I just finished this book and I must say that this is probably one of the best superhero books I've read in a while. The main character Blackjack was a complete badass in both strength and intelligence which was just an amazing combo - especially for a 'villain'
I really loved how Blackjack was essentially a villain with the heart of a antihero. Even though I was pretty much expecting him to be more humane than a regular villain (as its something I've seen before), it just felt genuine with this guy. The only problem I had with this book was the end. I like the way it ended the way it; felt to sudden.
Big Props to Ben Bequer for writing such an awesome book.
Note: My favorite character in this was undoubtedly Cool Hand Luke (Nuclear Ketchup). A certain degree of time manipulation and an aluminum baseball bat? That's as simple and epic as it gets.

That was a great way to spend six hours. I was having NO JOY with my demon spree, so I went on to superheroes/villains (they must put on a mask and/or cape to qualify! No substitutions allowed!) and it is working out nicely.
It was epic.
...
EPIC!!!!!!!!
I laughed.
After finishing the book I clapped my hands and fist-pumped the air.
Quibbles: the occasional appearance of slightly. awkward. English. *needs* an editor - it goes along simply *beautifully* and then it suddenly goes tracks off the rails.... Say what? Like you can get the *idea* but those are not the words one would use to convey that particular idea.
The editor could also help the scattering of Logic.Fails.
'Kay I'mma read the next book now... and maybe do my laundry XD

BLACKJACK by Brian Bequer is a supervillain novel which is in the fashion of SOON I WILL BE INVINCIBLE, CONFESSIONS OF A D-LIST SUPERVILLAIN, or my own SUPERVILLAINY SAGA. It's the story of a small-time villain who has the potential to be a big-time villain. He's blessed with the skills of an archer, the strength of Thor, and a genius scientific mind. It says something about just how much of an underachiever the guy is that he's still doing penny ante jobs before he gets recruited by the world's equivalent of Lex Luthor for the biggest job imaginable.
I liked this book a great deal and have to say that Blackjack, himself, is a large part of the appeal. I think he's a bit too overpowered as he suffers a a crisis of schticks. That's part of his appeal, though, that he can't commit to anything and even his name is because he couldn't think of anything which covered all his themes. The book outright says he's suffering from maturity problems and that includes not being able to take responsibility for his actions. Everything is the fault of his archenemy Atmosphero.
The best part of the book is the first half which describes the nature of being a mid-level supervillain. We get to see how his crooked lawyer gets the superheroes off his back, what causes him to have chronic villainy (losing his house to a superhero fight), and also how he managed to get involved in the business in the first place. These are some really fascinating scenes and ones which I wanted to hear more about because it's the meat of the book.
The villains which Blackjack deals with are an eccentric cast of characters who also provide a good deal of humor as well as contrasting personalities. One is a murderous psychopathic eco-terrorist with psychic powers, another one too stupid to realize his codename is a movie reference, and another still being a woman who is the very definition of bad for Blackjack. This is contrasted against a superheroine who is brainwashed into helping them but still serves as a good influence on Blackjack.
The book loses a star because the latter half leaves the colorful world of superheroes and villains to a weird planetary romance-esque adventure on what is best described as the Halo from Halo crossed with Barsoom. It's a genre shift which isn't entirely welcome despite being still very entertaining. I wanted to see our villains fight heroes rather than local space tribesmen. Thankfully, it returns to that for the exciting finale.
8/10

Kudos - A super villain story that doesn't go where you expect it to. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4 star review. Bequer's writing is good - not amazing, but definitely good - especially for this particular genre (the superhero novel) where pretty horrible writing seems to dominate. There are some info dumps and probably too much super combat - but without that a lot of readers might feel cheated. If the combat was more punchy (teehee) the story might move a bit better.
What Bequer does here is to provide a reasonable guy to root for, show a different take on a rise to power, and a pretty well thought out world that happens to contain a bunch of really powerful superheroes. He does that really well.

Ok - I'll go with 4. : P

God this book is so bad!! The plots are so random and it's just the same stuff from the beginning to end.

I ended up being surprised by this book. It was recommended to me by a friend, and it just so happened to be the same friend who got me to read "Ready Player One," which I loved. So I convinced myself to trust him, despite my reservations about this book after reading the synopsis. And for the first 51% of the book, I kinda wanted to punch him in the face.
Superheroes aren't really in my wheelhouse, nor are swing-by-swing overly detailed fight sequences that go on and on and on and... You get it. But right around that halfway point, stuff started to happen and suddenly it got HELLA interesting. After that, I was hooked.
And yeah, I saw all the editing errors other people have mentioned. Some bothered me more than others. The one that drove me the most crazy was that the author could never keep straight was the heroine was wearing. On one page she'd be wearing a diaphanous dress/robe thing, then a couple paragraphs later her superhero costume, then the next page the dress again. And no, this amazing wardrobe-changing ability isn't one of her superpowers. The author just couldn't keep up what the chick was wearing from moment to moment. DETAILS MATTER, GENTLEMEN.
I will say though that the side characters are definitely this book's strength; they're basically what got me all the way to that halfway point without quitting, and they just got better from there. And now here I am, throwing a temper tantrum over the ending and eager to dive into the next book.
The moral of the story: Trust in your nerdy bookish friends, people. They have your best interests at heart.

Having just finished reading Seveneves right before this, I have to say that this book was exactly what I needed and/or wanted.
Superheros, action, fight scenes, more action!
I have some criteria for Superhero (genre) stories, criteria for what I think makes such a book (or story) good. This is a gradually expanding field, and some works fit my criteria and ... sadly, some do not.
Such stories need a hero/protagonist who is deceive, who acts (even if such action later turns out to have been a mistake). They need a variety of heros, of powered people. Stories that purport to be "superhero" stories and then include only one or two such powered people fail my criteria I'm sorry to say. And finally, they need action, LOTS of action.
There are actually a growing number of these kinds of books out there these days, including the Wearing the Cape: A Superhero Story series, the Super Powereds: Year 1 series, the Sensation series, the Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain series, the The Rise of Renegade X series, the Super Villain Dad (Cape High) series, the Dire: Born series, and various others.
I'm pleased to say that Blackjack Villain is an excellent book and deserves to be placed among those others of similar genre. It features an interesting protagonist whom I found both thoughtful, and realistically flawed. Lots of fun detail on costuming and powers and personalities, lots of genre specific quirks that were enjoyable to read and think about.
Did I mention lots of action?
Highly recommended (if you like Superheros).
I paid retail price for the Kindle version of this book. My thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I was not compensated for them, nor were solicited by either the author or publisher.

Wanted: editor
After my 2nd read, I remain convinced that this book had no editing at all. The poorly-written characters constantly contradicted themselves in both thought/motivation and dialogue until they became laughable cardboard constructs that made no sense. The real shame is that the author had some really fun material to work with, but with no apparent editing, the book seems like the self-published work of a college-aged amateur.

This is the anti-hero superhero story. It turned out to be more emotionally intense than I expected. There was one character with over the top vulgar language (not just cussing, but disgusting metaphors) so I almost didn’t finish it. But the characters grew and changed in surprising ways and I think I’ll try book two in the series.

Great Work
An incredible visceral action-packed thrill ride between redemption and despair. Complete with drama, humor, adventure, super powers, aliens, and even a little romance. Seriously one of the very best takes on a supers world I’ve seen.
Definitely recommended!

I really enjoy the anti-hero trope. It is typically more interesting to me than the goody two shoes skinny kid turns hero. I really enjoyed this story.

Enjoyed this one - Superhero Fantasy with a Villain POV. It was very long book that felt like it had 3 distinct acts. I consequently liked certain acts over others. Book didn’t end the way I predicted which was refreshing, definitely will read the next.

Good Story. However, the writing appeared to be that of a novice. Slow in some places, but I did enjoy the characters.

Where to begin. Well... the first thing I can think of to say, is that none of the reviews I had read prepared me for this book.
What I normally do when selecting a new book is, judge by the cover, judge by the average rating even if there are a handful of reviews, ( I like to give chances to the obscure self-published guys and the low end publishers), judge the synopsis, then if I like it, I read a few four star reviews that on a glance don't have dozens of caps or exclamation points, then read a few two star haters to balance it off, THEN I read the book.
And none of the twelve or so reviews I read warned or prepared me for the level of cussing and obscenity. Seriously. Cussing. I cannot stress that enough. For real.
I adamantly suggest no-one under the age of sixteen even CONSIDER reading this, unless you've seen worse and you don't mind, in which case read away.
I can swear to you that we had well over 100 counts of the "F" word, and many and several other words that I can't put an approximation on. I can't BELIEVE that NO-ONE bothered to mention that in passing. No-one could have overlooked that. On principle alone I would give a one star because the swearing in 7/8th of the instances were uncalled for. It was not humorous nor was it used in desperate or emotional situations. Just random and thick.
I honestly have no idea what the author was thinking of. Like I'm utterly clueless. If he does read this review I have to ask, and I'm asking rationally and calmly, What were you really thinking when you wrote this after it got past your editor?
Back to the review, another problem I had was the editing, because it made very little sense throughout the book. It's a good thing I was willing to compensate by interpreting the meaning. For example, " Not only did we have a band of roving supers ready to come after us at a moment's notice, but we had also bungled everything up to now, causing the life of one hero and the life of one of our group as well. "
Now. I'm no grammar professor, but shouldn't that be *Costing* instead? That was one of the dozens of errors in the book. Dozens.
On the bright side, it had a fantastic concept and storyline with great super powers and team combos, which is something that I find lacking in everything from movies to games to books to cartoons, so it was a nice change. If you push through all the crass obscenity, the characters were fun and mostly lovable. Specifically Blackjack, who was least obscene and had an empathetic background and character.
One more thing to lookout for was a supporting character, whose power was controlling demonic imps...so... if your excessively religious or overly squeamish about magic and/or demons, you might not want to read this. If on the other hand you are less squeamish or you're even a "Harry Potter" kinda guy then go on ahead.
So I MIGHT read the next one because of the story, but for the time being I have better books/series to read.
I hope this review helps.

This book may seem like a superhero fiction but its far from that. It's like the maturing of superman led era into something more. The book has every element to make it a block buster: drama, emotions, solid and mind blowing action, nail biting thrill, heart warming romance, hilarious comedy, a mono-a-mono epic battle, repeated rise-from-the-ashes and surviving-all-odds feeling, and a hero who even after being portrayed as smart and resourceful, somehow gives the feeling of a big lug.
Okay maybe the last part may not be complement but hey, its realistic character portrayal and that's what I dig the most.
There are many loopholes in the plot, no doubt. That's the reason why its not perfect 5, but i have been on a superhero novel binge at the time of writing this, and I can safely say that this book is on a benchmark that is way above the rest. Way above everyone except maybe Confessions of a D-List Supervillain, but even then its cutting it close. (I am not including graphic works like watchman for the comparison)
The ending though leaves something more to be desired and i warn you beforehand that this requirement is not fulfilled in the second book either but I have high hopes for third book.

This is my first introduction into the "super" world as this is not my type of reading but looked like a good read and for the most part was interesting, a bit longer than needed and covered more without a real grasp on world building. (I guess it is mostly in our world) The idea of people getting super-powers and what they do with them is very intriguing the fight scene's left me wanting but pretty kewl just with such powers I guess you take a beating and keep coming for more' reminds me of the latest superman movie and how high the death toll must have been with superman fighting those from his planet, even his indecision on not wanting to finish the last guy and let him get into a drawn out fight leveling many high-rise buildings and killing thousands as he wouldn't commit to killing his foe' and ending the fight'
Anyway I will get the next book to see how the author and story progresses neat idea'3.5 maybe up to 4 so many other novels I would recommend

Blackjack is a reasonably small time super-powered bad guy, then he ends in court and things spiral out of control when he's hired by a *real* supervillain. I have to say this book is one of the better superhero/villain books I've read. It's a world where things aren't as black and white as they might seem and some of the good guys seem easily as bad as those they fight. It's also as story about truth and the lies we tell ourselves. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series (and the small taster chapter at the end is a bit of a cruel taunt) and these are books I'd happily buy in a print version of they were available. This book is certainly a fun and addictive read and once I started I couldn't put it down.

This book is definietly one of the better anti-hero books I've read. It's overall a fairly good reversal of roles between superhero and villain. I'm going to say that to anyone that likes this genre that this is a must-read. At more than a few parts it does run fairly slow. However, it is quick to pick up and sets the ground for the next book nicely. Can't wait for the next book to come.

An engaging storyline with an interesting protagonist. But the book needs some serious grammar editing. The grammar was poor enough to be a distraction from the story.
I enjoyed the idea of the book as well the character and his "friends" but kept having to 're-write sentences in my head to make them make sense.

Better proofreading and editing would have earned this book another star and a half. Even so there is a rollicking good yarn to be had here for fans of larger-than-life superheroes and villainous mayhem. Looking forward to the sequel.

The first 200-300 were fantastic the story was just so good but then when they went to the other world I just couldn't keep reading. It's was so boring that I couldn't even get halfway through, my suggestions is that you at least read to halfway and if you don't enjoy it just quit.

A good ride
A much longer and more introspective story then I expected from the sample. It's slightly uneven and has a hand full of editing errors.. But the characters are very compelling and the adventure just keeps trucking, in a good way :).

It was a good book but at some points the story would get disjointed. Overall the main plot was great but sometimes wasnt clear what was happening.
