Resumen del Editor

Yesterday, Altai was a war hero. Today, he is a prisoner who chose exile to Rhapsody instead of death. This planet, the Range, knows no mercy. Here, thousands of prisoners fight each other for a place under the strange, cold sun. Here, the leftover alien biomechanisms and out-of-control Terran war machines roam in the ruins, and human life is measured in virtual experience that can be exchanged for armor and implants.

Surviving in the Limbo slaughterhouse, upgrading to the 10th level, and getting into the Green Zone is all any dead man can hope for. Except not everyone succeeds. Altai will have to make a lot of effort just to take a breather, and remaining high in the audience's favor is something worth striving for. After all, the Range, among other things, is the most popular reality show, one of the few where everything is real, and death...death only raises the ratings.

Awesome

This is just a seriously solid book. The main character is rational without being a psychopath. Tough without being overpowered. Relatable but flawed. The world is interesting and complex. The game aspects are believable and not very stat heavy. It’s just a well balanced and exiting book. No harems but it’s also not for kids. It’s a Russian author so that means that there are cultural differences, but they don’t take away from the book.
