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.

About the Author

Brandon Sanderson is the multiple #1 New York Times best-selling author of the incredible Mistborn and Stormlight Archive adult fantasy series. In 2013, he won the Hugo Award for Best Novella for The Emperor’s Soul, set in his acclaimed, interconnected Cosmere literary universe.
Brandon has also published several New York Times best-selling books aimed at younger readers including Skyward, The Rithmatist, the Reckoners trilogy, and the five-book Alcatraz series.
Since his first novel was published by Tor Books in May 2005, Brandon’s books have been translated into thirty-five different languages and sold over 21 million copies.

About the Co-author

Steven Michael Bohls lives inside a head of fairy tales and magic. He is a dreamer first, a thinker second, and a writer last. He sculpts, illustrates, builds, creates, and designs. Early in his career, he went on a quest to write 12 novels in 12 months, all of which still live, unpublished, on his hard drive. However, his thirteenth novel became his first published book. Jed and the Junkyard War was picked up by Disney and released in 2016. The sequel, Jed and the Junkyard Rebellion, came out in 2018. Since then, he has been working to continue the New York Times best-selling series The Reckoners, as well as build his own fantasy universe in his upcoming book, Song of Steel. When he’s not writing, he’s complaining his way through metroidvania video games, annoying his friends with blue control decks in Magic the Gathering, playing make believe with his kids, or being a dragon.

About the Executive Producer and Editor

Max Epstein is the co-founder of Mainframe LLC with Brandon Sanderson. Mainframe is a spoken word entertainment and production company. The goal of the company is to tell compelling original stories in audio-first formats. Max has spent the past decade in Hollywood working in development and production, including on a number of Brandon Sanderson properties and films like Iron Man 3, Transcendence, and Collide, among others. He is a graduate of the Peter Stark Producing Program at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.

About the Performer

MacLeod is a multiple Audie, Earphones, and SOVAS award-winning narrator with hundreds of credits to his name. Perhaps best known for a cinematic approach with full characterizations and intimate deliveries, in series such as The Reckoners, Sandman Slim, and Warriors, he's also been noted for his straight reads ranging from memoir to modern classics such as The World According to Garp and, more recently, The Story of B by Daniel Quinn. Outside of the booth he has produced four feature films, 2015's festival hit and New York Times spotlighted psychological thriller They Look Like People, The Siren, A Ghost Waits (four stars from The Guardian), and another that will be hitting the festival circuit in summer 2021. Fun fact: he's been the voice of Whole Foods on TV in 2020 and 2021.

Awesome story that sets up more rekkoners

Great story, has a few call backs to previous stories like Steelheart but it stands on it’s own and has many good twists. It also lays the groundwork for some future stories within this cool YA world.

Either the best or second best Reckoners book

When I picked up this book, I was afraid Sanderson's genius could be dampened by the Collab work. I am happy to say this Collab didn't diminish a single thing, but actually enhanced it. I haven't read much of Steven Michael Bohls before but now I really want to, because this is either my favourite or second favourite Reckoners book in the series.

Above even that though, I have to say the best part about this book isn't even the words themselves, but MacLeod Andrew's absolute stellar performance. You guys think Kate Reading and Michael Kramer know their stuff? My friends, you've seen nothing yet! This man is an all star cast of actors all unto himself.

Amazing!

I love this book, and the ones before it. I do recomend the whole series. I have been a fan since I was 10 or 11. And I look forward to the next chapter of the story.
Thank you Brandon and Steven.

Fun jaunt through the Reckoner world.

Really enjoyed this light easy reading (or rather listening) story from the Reckoner world. The narration absolutely incredible; they have made characters audibly clear and distinct so you can jump in and out of the story and still clearly understand so is who.

Awesome addition to the Reckoners world.

Not David and Megan but a thrilling view on the other epics and struggles of their world.

Love this series and narrator

Just awesome. A very entertaining book and fun way to start a new spinoff series with the TX variant. I like all of Brandon Sanderson's books so this was no surprise to enjoy this as well.

MacLeod Andrews also does a fantastic job with all of the books. Just great stuff.
