Publisher's summary

Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he’s fighting for his life.

When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players. But Jack is in a worse predicament. He’s cornered in the very tower the terrorists have taken as their base; the only free player left within its walls. Even worse, in the real world, his body lies in a sweltering room with no hope of relief.

Playing the profession-based Scavenger class, and at a low level, Jack’s prospects of fighting his way out are next to impossible. Crafting gear, traps, and weapons, allying with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can’t fully trust, Jack is in a race against time to save not just himself but the millions of players held hostage.

Battle Spire is a meeting of World of Warcraft and Die Hard, using crunchy LitRPG mechanics with a heavy focus on crafting. Listeners can expect to find in depth item and spell descriptions, along with stat tables and profession recipes.

Note: strong language is used throughout.

Narration++

Excellent narration always makes the story better. this was an interesting Twist on the litrpg genre. one of the best parts about this story was that there were no harems. A+ on all aspects.

Classic GameLit!!!

Great story and Narration!

Jack is a collage student. Jack sneaks into a seedy part of town to get his game fix without his family finding out. Unfortunatly his plans get highjacked when terrorists take over the game and disable the logout feature. What else can go wrong, and what can Jack do about it?

The Soundbooth crew do a great job with the narration!

The the MC starts off whiny, he show great personal development and growth throughout the book.

I loved this book, and cant wait for more from this author!

Just as good the fifth time around.

This is the fifth time I’ve listened to this story, and it definitely won’t be the last. I honestly wish Michael R. Miller made a sequel.

Excellent book

If you get board listing to litrpg descriptions this book is not for you but if you enjoy them and a great story this left me craving more, as I’m a delivery driver I listen to a lot of books . I also love this author and the performers who do this kind of narration I really enjoyed it along with my 17 year old son

A Surprise and Treat

A hidden jewel for now at least. I missed out on the reddit giveaway but bought it anyway and boy am I glad I did. The action is fantastically well done and the character went in a direction I wasn’t expecting. He managed to come up with many exploits, items and abilities that were realistic to an RPG yet interesting and new. There were a few moments when the plot was pushed in a particular direction that stretched my suspension of belief in order to shoehorn in more drama but the redeeming qualities of the rest of the story far outweighed this. I’m personally looking forward to how this author develops in the future because I can see him having a AAA release in the near future if he continues to hone his craft. It also has great voice acting and sound design.
