Execute: Mod Superhero, Book 2

Mod Superhero #2

by Samuel Fleming, Ron Butler (narrator)

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away.

Emmett is used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg—a melding of flesh and machine. Turns out his boss wasn't just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that's just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss's daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren't just masks—some work for corporations, for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto, and how much will he trade away?

Execute is book two in a new superhero progression fantasy series. This series features a zero-to-hero protagonist, dystopian intrigue, superhero action, occasional swearing and gore, and Ship of Theseus-style power progression.

About the author

Samuel Fleming is a Science Fiction and Fantasy author.
He grew up in Maryland, spending most of his time swimming and writing. The thing about swimming is that it gives you a lot of time to daydream, so the two hobbies complemented each other well. Idle dray dreams turned into stories, some of which stuck with him for years. These days he swims a little less and writes a lot more.
He loves a good story no matter the medium: Books, TV, video games, comics, tabletop RPG’s, or podcasts–most of which he attempts to share with his wife and three kids, and occasionally on his blog.

Needs an editor, but still fun.

The writing, and more importantly the editing, are still subpar for a published novel series. That said, the characters are engaging, the world building is intriguing, and the super powered punchups are entertaining. So I'm in for book 3, with the hope that the author continues to hone their craft. The only way to improve is to keep writing, and you may as well sell some books while you're at it.

4.5 Star book, -.5 due to awful chapter headers that bind you at night

Books not bad. But every chapter title is this massive white graphic that is absolutely blinding if you're taking in the evening. It's so dumb and unnecessary that I have to knock off at least half a star for the damage to my retinas.

Good sequel, still not perfect.

I really enjoyed this sequal and I'm looking forward to seeing how Emmett progresses. I still don't like how the story keeps diverting to the truck side story, it seems a bit pointless. Overall definitely a good read

Really like this series.

I think the second book is actually better than the first book. Mod actually matures and becomes a much better super hero. Cannot wait for the next book.
