Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson

Another great title on the Sequoyah Intermediate List is Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson.  I just finished it and looking forward to reading the sequel that's already out.

If you enjoy Marvel and/or Avengers comic style action, then this is the book for you.  Something in the past hit Earth and gave a select group of people super powers.  These people are called Epics, and the power has gone to their heads.  Flash forward and a group called the Reckoners study these Epics looking for their weaknesses in an attempt to restore order.

David is the main character and is bent on revenge after his father was killed by Steelheart eight years earlier.  Steelheart is said to be as strong as ten men and no bullet can penetrate his skin, but David saw him bleed.  He works his way into the Reckoners, where he's able to share all the information he has collected over the years of being an orphan.  The group uses his research to plan the ultimate assassination attempt.

This novel is action packed, with lots of twists and turns.  The ending is NOT what you're expecting!
