Publisher's summary

Surviving a plane crash wasn’t easy, but surviving the apocalypse will be nearly impossible. Nigel Fletcher finds himself stranded on a deserted island with nothing but his journal and the clothes on his back. Not only must he locate food, water, and shelter to survive, but Nigel will also have to combat wave after wave of savage monsters intent on ridding the world of humanity.

Clearing these waves grows progressively harder as each week brings additional monsters, new mutations, and behind them all, a living terror with an insatiable appetite for human flesh. To have even the slightest chance of surviving, Nigel will need to build up his island base to perfection with what limited resources he has available. Crafting weapons, taming beasts, erecting towers.... It will take an enormous amount of grit and determination to transform this deserted island into one of humanity’s last bastions of hope. Will it be enough?

Well done.

My first tower defense LitRPG. Me likey. Other then the narrator pronouncing words completely different then I am used to, which annoyed me to no end, I enjoyed it and believe you will as well.

Nice Start

This was an enjoyable listen. It was a great story with a nice pace to the action. And a HUGE cliff hanger at the end. Argh! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I Totally Enjoyed This

I describe this book as FUN! Great MC and Sam Arenson is the perfect narrator. He captured the energy of the characters exceptionally well.
Cody Whitfil has created an exciting story line and I can't wait to see how this series continues.
I was given a free copy of this audiobook and am providing an honest opinion/review.

Excellent book!

I hope the second one is in the works. This book really brings it all together! Character development and a great tower system🙂 The ending was perfect.. I really hope there’s another book🥹

crazy

what a crazy ride this poor lady goes through. stuck on a Sandy beach with a bunch of monkeys with what I picture as the swamp thing horde aggressively attacking!

I did love the game aspects and uniqueness can't wait for next book.

Let me be honest

I won a promo code from Facebook and just finish the story. Here’s what I thought.

There are some interesting ideas here. The sacrificing alters and bubbles, However I personally struggled with accepting them in a “real life” setting.
I like the idea of using the journal as a premise for the story, but there are moments where events that happened are addressed as taken place and things to be done, then there are parts that are well written, but the prospective seems to change to following the action as it is happening. That leads to a bit of disconnect.

Overall, I enjoyed the story,

so, an Aussie tower defense litrpg

I was gifted this one. I wouldn't have picked it otherwise. I am so glad because it was so much fun to listen to. I just need book 2. NEED IT

First Time

This is my first time reading this style of LitRPG, Tower Defense. Glad I did as this book was pretty dang on good. Class OP but book was very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend and read another tower defense book.

Cool defense style LITRPG

Pros: Overall, the book was well written. I enjoyed the writing style and the narration was excellent. I also loved the premise of the defense style LITRPG. It was just a very easy book to listen to and kept my interest.

Cons: only a few things I struggled with was that all the creatures were the same species with some mutations. I felt like it needed a bit more variety since the main character was already stuck on an island with not much else. Also, the game building was a bit slow, he only starts getting access to a shop and more of the classic LITRPG abilities very close to the end of the first book.

Overall: a good story and I think that it leaves a good foundation for the next book in the series.

Fun tower defense-centered book

The tower defense concept works really well. The constant attacks leads to a story centered around town building which is fun. The characters are interesting, too. I didn’t love the cliffhanger at the end though. The narration was done very well.
