Age of Expansion

Rise of Mankind, Book 7

De: Jez Cajiao

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

The Age of Expansion dawns, but will humanity rise or shatter beneath its weight?

Matt's journey from desperate survivor to Dungeon Lord has forged him in blood and terror. With the Coronaught Queen vanquished and his domain flourishing, the days of scavenging scraps are over. But as his towers pierce the sky and his followers multiply, the drums of war beat ever louder.

Far to the south, an undead horde swells, their relentless march spanning continents. As Matt races to unlock the true potential of his abilities, rival dungeons declare their allegiances, not all siding with the living. The line between ally and enemy blurs, and every decision exacts a toll.

Now, Matt must transcend mere leadership. To shield his people from the coming storm, he must become something more—a beacon of hope, a force of nature, perhaps even a god in truth. But in a world where loyalty splinters like glass, how much of his humanity is he willing to sacrifice?

Step into the Age of Expansion, where every triumph balances on a knife's edge, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will Matt's dungeon become the stronghold of humanity's last hope, or just another tomb in a world of the undead?

Hate it because it’s over!

Another great book. Cannot wait for the next one! The progression was great, tied up some, and left a lot of room for more!

In love

Love it more please the author has become one of my favorites. They are gone now way too fast

Please don’t stop this series!

I love every part of it. I hate having to wait each time the next one is ready.

Can’t wait for the next book

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and look forward to the next one. The right amount of action, fun, growth, teamwork and girl power.

Another great one

This author, narrator, and story line have been great. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the next one.

Can’t wait for more

Excited for the next book! Some of the books in the series end with things pretty summed up for the time being, but this one leaves me wondering how they’ve all fared during the chaos. I need answers!

Love it

Can’t wait for the next one I pre ordered it it’ll probably take me a day n I’ll go thru the whole thing

The best yet and funny all through

I love how the story doesnt stagnate, there's loss and hardship through the story along with richbdevelopment in the characters and their powers. it's a rich world with constantly changing aspects that draw ypu in and the stats give good context of how the characters progress but also the difficulty of their tasks.

... the cracks are showing

Small flaws seem to keep rolling over from each of the previous books in the series out by while relatable and likable shows zero character growth instead gets lead around by the plot and his allies that do infact show excellent growth.

Engaging as always but not as good as earlier books.

I enjoyed listening to this book on the whole, but there were some pretty annoying writing flaws in it. They are somewhat reminiscent of Cajiao’s lesser series or some of Eric Uglands numerous offenses. In this I’m referring to main characters who aren’t necessarily geniuses but are definitely capable of logical thoughts making completely unbelievable mistakes or oversights, which also just so happen to increase the drama of a boss fight. Also, having the overpowered (and in this case Godly) MC get totally wrecked by a minor enemy in the middle of (you guessed it) a boss fight with no explanation for how or why this would happen. But of course it is because of this rock-bottom moment that the plot armor which has been waiting in the wings has an opportunity to elevate the OP MC to even higher ascendency.

I hate it when reviewers use the term lazy writing as I don’t think you can be truly lazy and write a 20+ hour book. But in this case I’m very tempted. I feel like Cajiao needs to get some better beta-readers or start listening to their criticisms if they pointed out these clearly flawed plot devices.

Regardless, in spite of my complaints I would still say it’s worth the credit, but I’m just a bit disappointed that this book didn’t match the quality of the previous installments.
