Peaks of Power: Beginnings

De: Paul Campbell Jr.

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

There’s always somewhere to go, someone to defeat! At least that’s what Ryan believed until he ran out of challenges, adventures, and stories. Bored with his life as a casual player, he slipped easily into the lifestyle of a professional gamer.

After reaching the pinnacle of success, an email arrived from the mysterious Beta Academy. With his best friend and self-proclaimed bodyguard, Dimitri, he decides to take a chance and accept the strange offer contained within. Overconfident in his skills, Ryan thinks he’ll defeat this game as easily as every other, but that confidence is shaken and shattered within the first 15 minutes. This wasn’t a standard game with haptic chairs or gloves; this was the real thing.

Ryan and Dimitri must learn the heights of the Peaks of Power...and what it will take to achieve their summit.

This is a re-release of Peaks of Power with improved editing, new cover art, and even more snarky dialogue!

overpowered and awesome

another good book in the litrpg genre.

I like the two characters and their spin on the view of the world. I would recommend this to any age reader. is not explicit or has scenes I noticed.


5 outta 5 yet again

MC isn't very likeable for a reason

I FB messengered the author asking about it, MC is made unlikable for a reason and it did fit a personality type well. it's not just a bunch of forced plot, theres a valid reason for everything.

Fantastic coming-of-age LitRPG

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this LitRPG. Ryan starts off as a bit of a pretentious jerk, but over the course of the story he evolves into an interesting and empathetic character. The mechanics of the game world are well written, which is imporant in this genre.

The narration was top notch as well. I had read the eBook version of this, but Christian Gilliland brings the characters and story to life.

MC that you love to hate

Ryan is a character you love to hate but throughout the story you get to watch him start to mature. His BFF Dimitri is a solid support for his friend and sticks with him even if Ryan is a jerk sometimes.

Great story doesn't get repetitive

Some lit rpg can be repetitive especially with every level up, but this one doesn't. It's a great story that spends the majority of the time in the "game" and it's very enjoyable.
