Publisher's summary

The Earth is changing. The alien invasion brought social upheaval, advanced technology, and an armada of peacekeeping robots. But Alan, a college student pursuing a now-useless degree, cares little about all of this. He has only one thing on his mind: the Game.

A fully immersive virtual reality, the Game appears to be a major part of the invading civilization. Alan can't wait to play, recklessly diving into the digital universe. Soon though, Alan realizes the Game is anything but simple, and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined.

Nothing short of awesome

I seriously had so much fun listening to this book. I cannot wait for the next one!!! If you like Ready Player One, this was better, IMO anyway.

Better then Alterworld or any other in this genre

The comment on the cover says "like Alterworld when it was still good." For myself, Alterworld set the standard in this genre, at least for the first 3 books (it went downhill fast after book 3). This is better then Alterworld due to the way it approaches the story. I immediately bought the 2nd book, and so far, it has been just as good as the first. I highly recommend this book.

great book

this is a great book. I really enjoyed the story and characters, and of course the narrator is one of my favorite so that made it even better.

A whole new world

I really enjoyed this first book even though I’m not a gamer it was still a great listen, plus I like really long listens so, there’s that. There was a lot of technical gaming information in regards to moving through levels, gaining experience points and abilities, etc. but I didn’t mind any of that at all, it was interesting.

The narrator was excellent and gave each character their own personality and voice. Looking forward to book 2 (even though it’s short) ;)

I wasn't expecting this to be so good. I had a hard time pausing it because I wanted to know what would happen next.

One of the better life in a game books

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book was a bit of a hard start for me to get into, but after a little bit it became hard to stop listening to.
