Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
9 hours

Firefight is a book that takes place in the future. The world is controlled by people called epics, ordinary people who have gained extremely powerful powers, such as precognition, reincarnation, impenetrable skin, and much more. These people rule the world, and they do terrible things, such as killing people and destroying cities. The reckoners are a group of people who try to find epic weaknesses and then take down the epics, in order to return the world to pre calamity. In Firefight, David Charleston is a point gunman, part of the reckoners. He visits the city of Babilar, in order to stop Regalia and Obliteration, and a handful of other epics from destroying the city, and all the people that live in it. But Regalia is a wily and wise epic, she has a trap, and the reckoners fall into it. Now the reckoners have to deal with something much more dangerous, even though they stopped Regalia and Obliteration from destroying the city.
