By: Andrei Livadny

Narrated by: Todd McLaren

He is a cyber dweller. A gamer who's grown up in the web of virtual illusion woven from hundreds of phantom worlds. His biggest dream is to dump the real world for good.

His desperate hunger for new experiences forces him to take a risk and become one of the first proud owners of a neuronet implant. The new gadget becomes part of him, but soon it's not enough. If only he could finally burn all his bridges and make a step beyond the real world....

He soon gets this opportunity. A new universe, overflowing with mystery and unimaginable, mind-blowing authenticity, opens up before him.

This is Phantom Server. The game of the future where your pursuit of an adrenaline rush soon turns into a battle for survival. But the most terrifying mystery lies ahead, when you gradually start to realize that this is a road of no return. Your every decision may become your last. Your every step leads you further along the abyss between life and death.

good read

love the symmetry of the story. really worth the time, suggest looking into this one

Solid

One of the early translated Russian LitRPG titles. It's a bit like a machine itself. I didn't connect with the story on an emotional level but it was mentally engaging. Solid like a well maintained machine. I enjoyed listening to it again for my 3rd time.

Good story, story progression.

fast, enjoyable, entertaining. I like that the author understands games and gaming. Good listen. Shew

Just awesome

really enjoyed it, can't wait for the next one. Author did a great job of pulling you in.

I did not think this book would be so good.

Was great from start to finish. downloading the next one now! It's a different kind of story but I loved it.
