Station Cores Complete Compilation

A Dungeon Core Epic Books 1 through 5

De: Jonathan Brooks

Narrado por: Miles Meili

Contains all five books in the Station Cores series:

• The Station Core - Book 1
• The Quizard Mountains - Book 2
• The Guardian Guild - Book 3
• The Kingdom Rises - Book 4
• The Other Core - Book 5

In addition, there are some bonuses:

• Hand-drawn maps (admittedly done by me without much artistic talent) that I used to help me write the series
• A fun 12,000-word short story that combines the Dungeon World and Station Cores universes.

Milton Frederick was originally abducted from his apartment to help defend one batch of pacifistic aliens called The Collective against another set of homicidal aliens called Heliothropes...but he never quite made it that far. Instead, during the process where his human consciousness was ripped from his body and inserted into a massive metal contraption called a Station Core, the ship that he was being transported on blew up and he was sent hurtling through space.

Crash-landing on an unknown planet with just a foot-and-a-half tall, foul-mouthed, nanite-formed AI guide called ALANNA to tell him what happened, Milton has to come to terms with his new existence as a giant metal egg, defend his hazardously-in-need-of-repair outer shell from the dangerous local wildlife (including blood-thirsty squirrels), and manage the unique radiation spewing from his damaged internal reactor - all while figuring out how the heck to get off the planet.

All of his work building a “dungeon” underground, defending it with makeshift traps, and filling it with small Combat Units may work well enough against the random beasts wandering around, but they’re next to useless when something else even more dangerous shows up knocking on his door: people. Not humans, of course, but the local equivalent - Proctans - who are similar enough to Milton’s original species...though with one major difference.

They all have unique special abilities that looks suspiciously like “magic”.

However, there is an even bigger threat that looms on the horizon not only for Milton, but all the Proctans as well....

He Warned Me!

The story is well thought out, the narrator does a fantastic job, and the overall package makes a welcome addition to my library. This compilation is indeed a worthy investment of a credit!

I like LitRPG. I know almost all stories in this genre have some variation on stats or formal review of character sheets to show character progression. It is possibly even a requirement to make an interesting one.. I’m very accepting of this even though I do not find all that information at all engaging. I was even warned by the author from the very beginning how stat-heavy this series is. Believe me... he is telling the truth!! What made it manageable was to break my listen into smaller than average chunks, even taking a break between books 3 and 4 by listening to something else.

A big plus from my perspective, was that I could skip through the stat-laden chapters and not miss anything from the story. Doing this,however, was annoying due to how distracting it made my listening experience... a great many “story” chapters were nothing more than short transitions for another “stat” chapter. That being said, without the author’s forethought enabling me to quickly and accurately advance, manually scanning through a chapter for the purpose of avoiding the statistical-based narrative would have been a showstopper.

With that caveat, I recommend this as a solid choice.

pure awesomeness

title says it all. series is pure awesomeness. loved every book. filling word count. totally

Pretty good book series

I really liked how the author went into stats, which for my tastes may have been a bit much, but you could easily skip them AND the author attached a PDF with the stats written out! How great is that!

The story is pretty good for a "not dungeon core" dungeon core story. Some of the dungeon core elements felt like they were just shoe-horned in and opened up obvious holes that I was hoping the MC was supposed to notice and exploit. Regrettably most never happened. As far as gripes go, that is pretty easy to deal with.

The cross-over short story at the end was pretty great.

loved it

This is a cool story but everyone is wright the stats get crazy. Book one is not so bad but ever book gets a bit more stat intensive

great story, way too much cursing for me.

i have enjoyed may Johnathan brooks books. this series had a good concept and story. i just could not take all the cussing. so i did send it back. odd for this author as he rarely uses curse words.
