Resumen del Editor

Noctem is a dream come true. Dreams don’t last forever. Nightmares might.

The first three books in the Pixel Dust series, full of fantasy adventure!

Existing within a virtual world shared across millions of users while they sleep, the online game, Carpe Noctem, offers a life of magic and adventure. For a scruffy gunslinger like Max, and a snarky fairy like Kira, it’s home.

Unfortunately, Noctem’s creator, and unhinged genius, has been fired. On his way out, he slapped a doomsday button to bring the system crashing down and send the global economy into ruin.

To save their second home, Max and Kira will need to assemble a party of misfits to conquer a quest of nightmares, and discover the secrets that lurk within the game.

If they fail, they’ll lose more than they can imagine… but winning has its own price.

David Petrie and Travis Baldree do it again!

I just want to thank the both of you! The characters in this book feel so real. The combination of David's writing and Travis' narration truly brought these characters to life for me. I felt as if I was right there beside them sharing in their success and heartache. Well worth the listen and I can't wait until the fourth book!

Fantastic!

Travis Baldree is amazing, as always. But, I think this series made me fall in love with GameLit. It wasn't too much of anything. The balance of storyline, game mechanics, and everything I between was just right to paint a complete picture without me getting bored. Even plot points designed for use later didn't seem obvious, they just seemed like game mechanics or humans being human. So, the plot twists are interesting, but also feel natural and not forced at all. Can't wait for book 4!

One of my favorites.

Loved it. only issue is it stops at three books for now and not clear what the wait is for more books.

Incredible series with diverse characters and unique ideas 

This is an incredible series and is very unique to the genre. I have yet to find a series beyond this one with characters who I have connected with on such a deep level. I really feel for their struggles and I'm fully emotionally invested in the story line. They are each unique and so well developed – each of them has their own thoughts, feelings and personality that is clearly demonstrated by the author in such a way that makes you feel deeply for them. The game mechanics are also something different and enjoyable, and I love how these books are not filled with pages of stats, which can get exhausting. There is so much that I love about these books and I am waiting desperately for the next one to come out in hopes that it will be sooner than later. I can't say enough about this series. The narrator is also incredible and one of my favorites . He has great inflection and can really add the appropriate emotion to various situations, along with a great range of voices. I was hooked! 

FINALLY! A LitRPG without stat monologues!

In all seriousness, this series is fantastic. I put it above just about every LitRPG I've read. Fun and intriguing prose, likeable and believable characters, a plot that isn't centered around the protag's ego, and best of all - it's all 'round blast to listen to. I love how LGBT positive the book is and how it can get specific viewpoints across without being offensive or "brushing off" someone's view, and it never feels preachy. I think there's maybe 4 parts in the entire SERIES that lists off full-stat reads. You don't need that junk to have a fun RPG read. I can't praise this series enough. And as an omnibus it's an absolute steal!

Felt real/relatable

The characters in this book felt more real and relatable than most other characters in similar genres. There is plenty of character growth and flaws that make them more personable to many aspects of life. All while not losing the appeal of a fantasy world. This has been one of the more unique stories I’ve heard, and the narrator does a fantastic job pulling me in and keeping me immersed.

like 3 books in one

i enjoyed this series no op mc just a group of friends that get a quest they are kinda forced into that leaves them to other adventures. like in the second book that i call a crime of the century book. an the third is a search for a lost person book . does have some sex talk in it so that could turn away some readers. my only con is i see there has not been a book out for awhile an book 3 ends with some mysteries not solved yet so i hope another comes out to finish the series

More please

Not gonna lie I mostly bought the story because I enjoyed other works the narrator did. But I’ll say I did love the story that was read . I’m not some deep critic so I’m not gonna go In depth with my review. Please DAVID write the next book!! I need moreee

Highly recommend!!!

Although I lucked out and got all three books for one credit, now that I've listened, I would have gladly bought then individually and kept coming back for more. This series was highly entertaining and very intriguing in the sense that this tech is theoretically possible... Like the Black Mirror series on Netflix...

I became invested in the fate of this gang of misfits, and I really want to know how this story progresses. Super entertaining, and highly recommended!

Like others, I think it maybe came up on my suggested list because of Travis Baldree's involvement. He delivers another great cast of performances.

Really really enjoyed these books.

Love it!

I’m so invested in this story! I understand why the author moved on to his other series. But I hope he returns to this. It’s fantastic.
