Resumen del Editor

Cyborg samurai Cat LeBlanc takes charge when aliens overrun a city—only to discover humans may be the greater threat—in this cyberpunk adventure.

A small city mostly populated by well-to-do retirees, Burlington, Vermont, is now home to the Antithesis. The alien flora has taken root underground and throughout the surrounding woodlands, giving birth to monstrous beings driven by instinct to consume Earth's own living creatures. With only three rookie samurai to protect them and resources dwindling fast, the people of Burlington are facing extinction.

Cat LeBlanc's success against the Antithesis in the megacity of New Montreal has raised her profile amongst the samurai. And despite her antiauthoritarian attitude and appetite for destruction in combat, she's been assigned to assume command of Burlington's defenses. Against her better judgment—and though it means taking time away from her girlfriend, Lucy, and their adopted gang of children, "the kittens"—Cat accepts the mission.

Accompanied by pyrotechnic nun Gomorrah, Cat finds Burlington's downtown is indeed struggling to survive, but the privileged residents of River Heights thrive behind the protection of their privately funded militia. Worse, the undisciplined trio of samurai-in-training she's supposed to lead are variously arrogant, rebellious, and insecure. Now, Cat must forge a fighting force out of them while playing politics with the city's wealthiest power brokers.

Unfortunately, their enemy doesn't also suffer from political and personal conflicts. The Antithesis is of one mind, a hive determined to spread their contagion across Earth. And if Cat can't rally the samurai, soldiers, and citizens of Burlington to work together, the fall of the city may foretell humanity's eventual fate . . .

The fifth volume of the hit LitRPG sci-fi series—with more than nine million views on Royal Road—now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!

love

these books are great. Can't wait for more. moves at good speed and holds attention

Another fantastic addition

The characters continue to develop, especially Lucy, and we get to see more to Cat than just isolated fights. I look forward to more books.

lots more explody fun!

bigger monsters bigger guns bigger toys equals lots of fun. I really hope there's another book or two more.

Good

I like that the fifth book of this series is not just an ever increasing escalation of difficulty. The challenge is difficult, but it is proportional to the characters growth from the last book and more just a different type of problem than straight escalation.

Love it

This is a series that I call-in to work for or wait until the weekend so I can smoke relax and chill under some covers. Keep them coming. Thank you for all the work that goes into this 💜 ❤️ 💕.

Progression stalled out about four books ago...

If you want tons of awesome action, this book is for you. If you want an LGBT relationship where the people act like normal people instead of whatever paradise most romance books have, then this book is for you. If you want a book with serious stakes but still have laugh out loud silliness at times, then this book is for you. If you want a snarky morally grey, but still caring protag, then this book is for you. If you want a progression litrpg with tangible and quantifiable growth, then this book is NOT for you.
While the author is good at writing interesting stories, they kind of fail pretty consistently at the progression part. SCS is no exception. Nothing has really changed from the first book, it feels pretty much the same just with different cat puns. Which are hilarious, but i kind of expected at this point for her to have done something other than buy funny named bomb. Sigh, there was a surprise at the end, but it is sudden and completely random and wasn't even her idea. I don't know but this whole hing feels like Raven is seriously underutilizing the potential of their characters.

Exciting funny and snarky

I like the interactions between the characters. The snark and social commentary are always funny and relevent.

Snarky as ever

If you liked the previous books in this series you won't be disappointed with this one.

Great...

... as always for this series and for Ravensdagger's books. I enjoyed the story almost as much as I enjoyed the cat puns

awesome world and story

I love this book series I just ran in to the end of what is available and that makes me sad
