The chance of a lifetime...

To live in a thrilling world of adventure...

One with endless possibilities.

Down on his luck and with his back against a wall, John Crussel would do anything to provide for his family.

But when he hears of how he can make money in a virtual reality video game called Alterlife, he walks away from the robbery and decides to give it a shot.

Couldn't be harder than robbing a bank, could it?

John's world is about to change as he finds that Alterlife is easier than it seems.

But being a hotshot new guy that seems to have all the luck draws the attention of some dangerous people in Alterlife - ones that want what he has and are willing to do anything for it.

Through a series of unfortunate events, John becomes the first to contract a deadly virus.

Now he only has 10 days to live.

He soon finds himself tied to a sinister plot and realizes that his misfortune may not be a coincidence.

Can he rid himself of the virus before time runs out?

All John Crussel wanted was to make some easy money.

He thought Alterlife was just a game....

This high stakes novel depicts John's struggle both in and out of virtual reality. Fans of Otherland by Tad Williams, Ready Player One, and World of Warcraft will feel right at home in Alterlife.

Excellent.

This book was chosen as my book clubs book of the month for May. I personally have never been into sci-fi/fantasy type anything. However, once I started this I could not stop listening. I truly cared about what was going to happen to the main character. Personally I love audiobooks for me it adds and extra layer of flavor to it, but some books I've had to read because the narration was just so bad, not the case in this instance. I love that the author himself narrated the book and I believe it is evident he placed just as much care and effort into the performance as he did the writing. Lastly, I find myself in somewhat of a dilemma. I want to know what is going to happen next, but at the same time want to wait on the audio version. I'll be wrestling with the decision to buy the book or wait for the next audio release. With that being said put this on your list to read.

trucker review

I liked the story, I will look up the second book to continue. but there were parts of this one that made it less enjoyable. the narration was flat when not talking as a character, when describing scenes and people it almost sounds as if you are bored. it is lacking inflection. otherwise very enjoyable. thank you for writing and I look forward to more. I am glad to have been chosen to receive this book for review.

Awesome series

I’ve read all three books in this series, and just finished listening to the audio version of Alterlife. I’m not a big fan of listening to a book, prefer reading, but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this one! The story line is unique and well written, the author did a fine job of portraying the different characters in the book, and the ending leaves you with a feeling of “what’s next.” Looking forward to Alterlife II.

Kinda like Cliff notes

Really like the story but it's missing a lot of details. It gives the story a skipping ahead feeling.

This was a good book.

So I enjoy this book it did have a little bit of thrown Together plot line just to make the book make sense not a bad thing just a bit unbelievable that a series of events would happen like they did in this book I would have liked to see it a bit more flushed out, for me the unrealistic nature of the plot line broke immersion a little bit. However all of that being said still a very good book and it was a very enjoyable to listen to and I'm looking forward to the next book coming out.
