Matthew S. Cox
Death isn't a big deal in the virtual world of online gaming, but after poking her nose where it doesn't belong, Dakota Marx finds herself running for her life - and reality doesn't come with a respawn.
At 22, she's still slinging coffee at an Amazon Cafe despite having a degree in programming. It's not because she's unlucky, unmotivated, or even that she fancies herself an underground activist crusading against evil corporations. Hunting for a real job would take time away from her game.
Axillon99 is the world's most popular multiplayer online experience, with a universe containing billions of planets to explore. Ever since video games broke the screen barrier, plunging players fully into their characters, reality just can't compete.
Cognition Systems International announces a 10-million-dollar prize to celebrate the release of the next generation Neurona 4 interface helmet. After her crew decides to try chasing the money, Dakota discovers a sinister intent behind the new technology. Going public threatens the lives of her friends, but keeping CSI's secret could destroy the very fabric of society.

I an a big fan of the LitRPG genre, so when I saw this title I was excited to give it a listen. This story exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed it throughout. The future setting, 2031, has some humorous, and not so unfathomable, notions. The idea that a coffee will cost over 9 bucks, and drones delivering all kinds of products, are just a few examples. The most important advancement to the plot, however, is full immersion gaming. While not the full haptic suits of Ready Player One, the helmet interface is integral to both the gaming and the story.
There is plenty of action, both in game and out, some daily life elements, and interpersonal dynamics as well. Each member of the Stormbringer’s crew comes to life through Matthew S. Cox’s writing. There was only one thing that disappointed me, which I will leave with pseudo-spoiler details after my comments on the narration.
Speaking of the narration, Avery Reid is EXCELLENT!!! She truly delivered an outstanding performance. She is apparently new, as this is only the third title she has on Audible at this time, but she is someone to pay attention to. She is already one of my three favorite female narrators, doing a solid job with character voices and an amazing job with the narrative.
*Pseudo-Spoiler Alert*
I’m not going to deliver any specifics, but I will say that I was disappointed with the ending, how things played out over basically the final 30 minutes. I really thought the story was cheapened with a crucial decision that was made. However, Matthew S. Cox won me back during the final two minutes. You’ll understand when you get there.
Wow, loved it!

More believable than Ready Player One

There were a couple points early in the book where you jump from reality to game play or vice-versa in such an abrupt way that it takes a few moments to realize you have switched. Nothing bad but the closest thing to a negative I had for this one.
The narration on this book was right on with the story. Kept up with the action and changing emotions of each character. Since this was first person, all the voices were filtered through the main character but it was still easy to identify each character.

Familiar story line – well executed

MC Dakota Marx is a purposeful underachiever, preferring to work as a barista so she has plenty of time for online gaming. She and her boyfriend, MC Erik, even limit their cuddle time so that they have plenty of time in-game. Axillon99 does a fantastic job highlighting the differences between a humdrum life in the near future, and the exciting life of risk, adventures, battles and death in the immersive game world.
Even more, the book does a terrific job as game activities and dangers crossover into the real world, real world anti-corporate concerns and personal memories are found to tie-in to the gaming world, and we find game characters teaming up in the real world to survive and find love. Wow. As I said earlier: what a ride!
Throughout the book, the level of detail is astonishing. I felt I was at the coffee shop as Dakota dealt with customers and stalkers. The in-game battles, large and small were amazing. Dakota's experience in the warehouse and her flashbacks were painfully realistic. Dakota bonding with co-worker Blake as he deals with his unwanted breakup with his boyfriend was amazing. Such delicate humanizing in a book of fantastically detailed space battles and alien monsters.
The other members of Dakota's in-game team all have their own distinct personalities, and Dakota's brother Nebraska went from an odd distraction to an important helper for the team IRL.
Are you in real life or the game? Is music playing?
Definitely 5* for "Axillon99"!

Excellent Sci/Fi Adventure

The story is about a girl that lives to play Axillon 99, a total immersive game, kind of like "Player One" movie from Spielberg, also in space. In this book we are introduced to all the dynamics of the game (the characters, weapons, ships, missions, etc), but also with the real life world. Even though some of the language could be hard for non players or non english native speakers, I still find the story well balanced and totally worth it to read/listen.
The narrator is very good by the way!
But I have to say, the cherry on top this very good story, that revolves around the heroine team finding a way to win an impossible mission and win real life dollars (enough to never work again), is the ending. I didn't see that coming, not the usual way to finish, and even after that another twist. You definitely have to read to find out!
I just wish some corporate guys would read this book to learn something.
You will never guess the ending!
