Advent

The Exlian Syndrome Series, Book 1

De: Seth Ring

Narrado por: Pavi Proczko

From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of the Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—Advent is the first in an epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure that will leave listeners hungry for more.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian, just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he’s … a dishwasher, trapped in a dead-end job with no powers, no money, and even fewer friends.

Then an encounter with a dying woman changes everything—granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps—and his life finally feels like it’s turning around, faster than a movie martial arts montage (just ignore the weird cat).

But the Exlian are voracious and myriad, and there’s more to Mark’s new powers than just leveling up. With the pressure mounting, it doesn’t take him long to realize the Exlian aren’t the only sinister threat lurking within the city …

In this first installment of the Exlian Syndrome series, you must fight the monsters … or become one yourself.

An excellent new series!

This is a really interesting new world. The setup is fairly unique with a lot of detail and one can tell that Mr. Ring has put a lot of work into building this and he had managed to clearly hint at several deep plots by various actors, without giving away what they real are.
I'm looking forward to watching it unfold.

It was OK

It was interesting, and well written. But, for me, some parts were dragged out a bit.

Heck yeah

Dang good. Dystopian sci-fi fantasy LitRPG. Mr. Ring is a wizard. The plot is well structured

why is it so good!

I can't wait for the next one in the series. it was so well done. I absolutely love this author. if you give this book a shot you will definitely not regret it.

Seth Ring does it again

This man don’t miss! Even in the heat of battle he don’t miss! Seth ring hasn’t let me down yet and this book is another masterpiece worth every minute of your time, if you’re willing to take the chance.

Like no other novel

I was bl9wn away by this story. It was more unique than anything I've read in years. I loved everything from the age of the Mc to the setting of the world. looking forward to the series.

happy to have found another series.

I wish these books were longer, but that's really my only complaint. finished book one in one day, and im starting on the 2nd now.

Really good

Really enjoyed the story and the cat was definitely the best character of the story. the MC was good even if extremely naive is some stuff but can easily move pass that because he is capable and hard working. the villains are the cliche villains like in any super heroes story where the city is besieged by extremely large numbers of enemies. and the epilogue made me rolled my eyes tbh with how obvious it was with the "reveal" of the one pulling the strings in the shadows. Will still get book 2 when it comes out

Really really good!!

Can't wait for the next book!!! Dang thought they were out already but audible got me, it showed all four books and I was getting ready to buy them and they aren't showing up until June, Sept, Dec😭😭 I guess all good things come to those who wait lol.

Seth Ring does it again.

The world building was well thought out and interesting. The concept of mana creating super heros/super human mutations is an interesting and novel approach. The narrator did an amazing job bringing each character to life. Seth Ring did not disappoint with this new book and I cant wait to continue the series.
