THE ILLEGAL: THE FIRST MEXICAN SUPERHERO
The Legacy Series

by Steven Cortinas

Narrated by: Andrea Barthel

Production by: Steven Cortinas

There’s a New Superhero in Town!

Superheroes take a new form in this book by Steven Cortinas.  Legacy City has a problem.  It’s the number one place to NOT visit!  Drugs, poverty, and crime all take a front seat here. Then there is the Illegal, a man of many faces who discovers he alone cannot eliminate the deadly drug that is being pushed by crime families.  He begins to put together a team and the end game is not to be missed!

The author has carefully created a new superhero who uses disguises that reflect the stereotyping of his ethnicity – a gardener, construction worker, and more.   The characters are as unique as their superpower. The plot is interesting and leaves a lot of room for creativity.  The plot twists were well executed. The action was non-stop! The world that Cortinas has created in this book is mirrored by our real world in many ways.

The audiobook was a major performance!  Lots of voice actors are involved with sound effects. I did find that the main voice actor, Andrea Barthel was solid in her performance and kept the rhythm of the story moving and flawless. Normally I do not enjoy books that are theatrical in production but in this case, I found it almost like a graphic novel or superhero cartoon on TV.  It was well done.  I found the book to move at an amazing speed which at times seemed a bit overwhelming but did not detract from the book.

Overall, this is a book that many will enjoy especially superhero, pop culture, and action enthusiasts.

 There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done.
