Book Review: The Secret World Chronicle, Book One, by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey

Note: This "book" is currently available only as a free podcast or audiobook. However, a hardcover version from Baen is due out next year.

Superheroes. Either you love 'em or you think they're the dumbest thing ever. Kind of like vampire romances. Guess which category I fall into? (You can guess what I think of vampire romances, too. Go ahead, guess.)

I've never read any of Mercedes Lackey's books, so I listened to The Secret World Chronicle with interest but without expecting much.

( Suddenly, Nazis! )

Verdict: If you're a comic book fan, and especially if you liked Wild Cards, this is worth a listen, but if you're not into superheroes, you can probably give it a pass.
