Roxy and Muffin Versus: The Infinite Death Gauntlet

A LitRPG Adventure (Roxy and Muffin Versus, Book 1)

De: T.L. Campbell

Narrado por: Ashley English

When eight-year-old Roxy and her dog Muffin are snatched from Earth during Halloween night, they're thrown into the PRIX GAMES—a deadly intergalactic Game where survival is optional and Entertainment is mandatory.

Armed with nothing but a chainsaw named Baby, Muffin, a newly sentient canine companion, and an attitude that refuses to quit, Roxy must navigate the first of six increasingly lethal Game levels filled with murderous aliens, opportunistic bounty hunters, and products so dangerous they come with their own death waivers.

As they gather a ragtag team including a discount Darth Vader and Unda Wada, who fights in a shark costume, Roxy discovers a horrifying truth: the Game isn't just collecting players—it's harvesting souls. Thousands of former contestants lie trapped in pods, powering the very system that killed them.

With the help of a resistance movement, her foul mouth, and her battle-hungry dog, Roxy agrees to a plan to overthrow the Game from within. But in a world where death comes in the form of exploding sock puppets and weapon swaps that replace your chainsaw with a kazoo, the odds aren't exactly in their favor.

ROXY and MUFFIN Versus the Infinite Death Gauntlet is an action-packed LitRPG adventure filled with irreverent, inappropriate humor, heart-pounding battles, and bad knock knock jokes. It's READY PLAYER ONE meets GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY meets Dungeon Crawler Carl, with a little eight-year-old girl at the center who might be the galaxy's most dangerous Contestant yet.

Because sometimes the best hero is the smallest one. And sometimes that hero's dog is an even bigger badass.

FOUL LANGUAGE, SAD ATTEMPTS AT HUMOR, BLOOD, GUTS, OTHER STUFF THAT YOU MAY BE OFFENDED BY. THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN.

A glorious murder romp

So fun! An off-the-wall LitRPG that will keep you guessing and laughing. The author's choices for similes and descriptors, for example, are delightfully bizarre. "Murder disco hootenanny" should become part of everyday parlance. And who doesn't love a cute malamute who's enthralled by murder?

The narration is genius, with distinct voices for all the characters. I could vividly picture each character and each scene. It felt like I had a friend reading me a story. Remarkably well done and great for adults, teens, and older children with a sense of bloodlust.

Alien Arena

Super cute story idea, I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to book two. the only thing that confused me was Roxy gaining foul language with her intelligence, I'm glad she didn't use it all the time but I guess there are adults who do that a lot. Good story, can't wait for the rest!

Totally unbiased review

This book was so funny that the amount of outtakes for giggling and laughing while narrating it was ridiculous. Totally added to my editing time. 10/10.

Dramatically Absurd Characters

Wonderfully dramatic characters mixed with humor and absurdity. T.L. Campbell’s unique voice will spur laughter, and solidify admiration for the wonderfully unbridled narrative.

Interesting story and great narrator!

I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to like this book because it's far removed from my usual murder/mystery/detective novels. Boy was I wrong! This story had my attention immediately and was so much fun to listen to! It was funny, interesting, and had a lot of references I appreciated! Great writing and great narration--really kept my interest! Looking forward to Roxy and Muffins next adventure!!!!
