Why read it?
1 author picked Heroes Die as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
On Earth, Hari Michaelson is the most famous actor in the world stuck under the ceiling of a rigid caste system. When he teleports to Overworld, he’s Caine, a notorious assassin who the people of Earth watch remotely and cheer on. What I love most about Caine and Heroes Die is the pure audacity. From the cheesy cover art to the excessively violent narrative, author Matthew Stover holds nothing back. Even in audiobook format, the deep, gruff, masculine voice of Stefan Rudnicki is comically spot on. This book, and Caine, is ridiculous in the best way.
From Chris' list on science fiction with badass protagonists.
