The Infinite Spear

Broken Tech, Book 1

De: Marc Mulero

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

The power of ancient gods is programmed within him.

Slip doesn't buy it, though. The Sci-gods took everything from him. They dropped a bomb that reduced his home to waste, his family to dust, and left him broken with no hope for vengeance. Now he's just a lone cyborg digging through scraps for his next meal.

That changes when a rebel assassin stalks Slip, eager to unlock the untapped potential hidden deep within him—his unique connection to the A.I. in his head. With nothing left to lose, he accepts the invitation to duel for upgrades to his tech, created by the very ones who destroyed his life: the history-obsessed Sci-gods.

Thrust into his new reality, Slip will be forced to choose an allegiance of old—Roman, Greek, Egyptian, or Norse—to fight in the arena for gifts bestowed by ancient deities and ascend from the futile depths of the fields to the glory of a hailed champion.

Here begins the chase for retribution and the search for the power to slay gods.

Cybernetic Mayhem

The Infinite Spear, by author Marc Mulero, is an interesting mix of human cyborgs, cyborg gods and gods of many pantheons. The foundation is there for a fantastic stories to come. Slip, the protagonist, is a hard character to like, which I’m not sure it that was the case or I as the reader just didn’t accept him. Still. Gods vs versus cyborgs in gladiator battles. What else do you need? DRmz 7-10-24

Great fights! Mouthy MC.

The world building and fight scenes are top notch. The MC is mouthy. I guess it was done on purpose, but it's annoying at first. He gets better later. Overall it's a great book.

An interesting concept, just just shallowly executed

The idea of cyborg gladiators, fighting to be noticed by Ancient mythological gods is awesome. However everything just feels so shallowly delved into, from the characters and their growth (or lack there of), to the world they inhabit, and the power system as a whole. Combat seems staggered when the combatants twirl around to hit “combo orbs” in order to attack each other. If these combo orbs weren’t there, the fights would definitely feel more fluid.

great mix of Sci and fantasy

I particularly enjoyed this audibook. I prefer audiobooks to listen to while I'm at work, and this one was very well performed. In addition, I rather enjoyed the story. As a fan of both sci-fi and fantasy, I enjoy the mix of genres, especially when the stories are compelling and have great characters. Infinite spear hits those points. I'd suggest to anyone that likes those to give it a shot. At this point I've listened and read a few of Mulero's books and he has a very specific style which I also enjoy. It's very reminiscent of video games.

Gladiator Machine!

Progression Fantasy at its finest. Great cast of characters, even if one or two of them can be quite hatable at times. 100% superb fight sequences! 5 stars all around
