Mitosis is book 1.5 of The Reckoners series, taking place in between Steelheart and Firefight. Taking place shortly after the events of Steelheart (Note, this will include major spoilers for the ending of Steelheart). Steelheart is dead, but Newcago is still not safe from Epics. The Epics are convinced that an Epic killed Steelheart and they are determined to “find out which Epic actually killed” Steelheart. An Epic by the name of Mitosis who is able to clone himself, has come to Newcago and is terrorizing it, trying to get David to admit that he didn’t kill Steelheart and an Epic did. Mitosis is technically a high Epic because there is no prime clone for Mitosis to die, each and every one of his clones has to be killed. It is pretty short; it took about 2 nights to read but it’s also pretty good. I’d give it a 4.5/5.
