Publisher's summary

It was just one fight, but it changed Kaiden Jericho's life forever.

He was in a gang but was trying to change his future, when a board member of the elite advanced academy NEXUS made a snap decision and offered him a chance.

Then fate, or an unbalanced genius, offered him another.

The Nexus Academy is for the elite trainees from Earth, and now trials from our alien allies, as they teach the future generation how to fight, lead, hack, spy, and many other talents and tactics.

Hired by companies, governments, and NGOs, these graduates work to pay off the massive debt their training at the academy accumulates.

You don't become the best of the best by staying alive. With the Animus, you are closer to perfection with each death you suffer.

Kaiden Jericho would rather skip the death part, thank you very much.

Includes special note from co-author Michael Anderle.

highly enjoyable

The story line is very enjoyable and moves along while not getting stuck in constant flashbacks.

the carictor development is good and diverse.

the main carictor has his flaws but it plays into the story line wonderfuly and the interaction between him and his virtual assistant is highly entertaining.

the narrator does a great job with multiple voices and bringing the carictors to life.

overall if you are a fan of vr stories I recommend this one.

Freaking amazing

I’m am not done with the book but so far may be the best free book in its genre on audible. Funny, interesting, and truly a great book. It’s well written unlike most free books on audible in the fantasy genre. I see potential for character growth and I am so happy I picked it up.

Well that was fun.

This book is a fun ride into a series without overdoing the details. I like that because it leaves room for more character development later. Good start and interesting story keeping going.

interesting new twist

During covid, I have listened to many books. After awhile they all start sounding the same. this series is refreshing and promises to be something I will enjoy.

Great first book

I extremely enjoyed listening to this first book. The mc is the right amount of kind and crazy. Reminds me of the kind of person that I would have grown up with. All my friends when I was young always had wanted to look for something to challenge them especially if it was dangerous lol.
