Age of Stone

Rise of Mankind Series, Book 1

De: Jez Cajiao

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

In all the games Matt has played, dungeons are places to raid, places you dream of conquering, but when the world is stripped of electricity, and the first mana-twisted beasts start to prowl, the games all come to an end....

Matt's just an ordinary guy, but when he's beaten, robbed, and left for dead, bleeding out at the bottom of a gully, it all has to change as he grasps frantically at his only chance for survival, coming as it does in the form of a glowing, dangerously pulsing light.

With his reality forever altered, Matt must quickly find a suitable place to deploy the Dungeon Core, fighting his way through the hundreds of people between him and safety, because if he doesn't do it soon, a Core Detonation will solve all of his problems for him....permanently.

Welcome to the New World.

BEST LITRPG SINCE THE LAND CHAOS SEEDS!!!!

wow Jez you have me hooked I can't wait until the next book to come out. this book is better then harry potter

Loved it.

Great start to this series.
Good choice of narrator on this one. Eagerly awaiting book 2.

Love it! Didn't Go Where I Thought It Would

I'm getting to a point where taking chances on other fantasy litrpg sci-fi books is a waste of money. They're either PG-13 (yuck and boo), boring or just pulling from classic stories and/or movies which is just lazy and irritating.

But after being disappointed with other highly rated authors/stories, I tried this one and I LOVE IT!. Where I thought it would be the same ole story, it wasn't. The story went in a different direction than most and has a different purpose for a lot of things/characters/monsters/dungeons than what I'm used to "reading".

Neil Hellegers is one of the few narrators that reads like he is the characters living the story real time not like he's reading a story to/at the audience. He's one of my favorites and I only have 2 (Nick Podehl).

I don't want to give away too much because to avoid ruining it for anyone else.
My top stories (Ugland and Dinniman are tied for #1), Those are the types of stories i prefer if that helps anyone get a better idea of my preferences: and this story is added to the list. Can't wait to see where it goes.
- Eric Ugland (Good and Bad Guy Series)
- Matt Matt Dinniman (Dungeon Crawler Carl)
- Simon Archer (I'm the Bad Guy)
- Aleron Kong (Chaos Seeds)
- Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death),
- Kel Kade (Fate of the Fallen)

More than worth the credit

Hands down one of the best real world apocalyptic LitRPGs, if not the best, that I’ve heard, and I have over 700 titles in my library.

If you like the genre get it, no question. If you want to try out the genre than it’s a good place to start.

I won’t spoil anything about the story other than it takes place in Newcastle

Neil Hellegers does a superb job with the narration, as always.

Mr. Cajiao, you have quickly become one of my favorites. Keep the books coming!

Awesome

Great building
Love the voices for various characters. Story flows very nicely. Look forward to the 2nd book.

Surprisingly great

one of the best in the system apocalypse genre, surprised it isn't more popular on social media.

This is the start of a great series.

I have enjoyed this series so much. None of the book have let me down yet.

lots of action

The premise of an alien induced RPG was bizarre, but the story was full of excitement. The stat point readout made my eyes roll a bit, but the title kept me thoroughly entertained.

A amazing dungeon builder litrpg

The story is a great mix of actions, drama, and comedy. I’m definitely recommending this book to my friends.

awesome story, brutal but fun

I enjoy the narrator, the story and how if an every day person got in a post-apocolyptic litrpg world, they would likely get their asses handed to them. no flowery overpowered plot armor from the start. the protagonist gets their butt kicked brutally, has to rely on luck, others, and skill.
