Invasion Series, Book 1

By: D.I. Freed

Narrated by: Grant Cartwright

In the year 2035, humanity broke the dimensional barrier and attached its world to another.

Unfortunately, something was waiting on the other side. Nearly 150 years later, humanity is in a never-ending war to hold what is left of its world. Vic is a military asset for the United Forces of Humanity (UFH), and his job is to kill the Invader Orcs and their kin.

While on a mission, he is exposed to an advanced technology that grants him powers beyond anything he has known. How can he grow and use those powers to serve humanity and its hope to take back the world? Travel with Vic as he uncovers strange happenings throughout human cities, strengthens himself and his allies, and breaks rules set in place a century and a half ago. Watch as he allies himself with elves, dwarves, gnomes, and beastkin to battle the Invaders using a mix of ancient magic and futuristic technology.

good book

this is a solid book. nice ideas, good length. the start is a bit slow but still interesting. its worth your time. and credit

Started Good

Like many other stories of this type this story started off great while the MC was alone with his own thoughts and the AI. The idea of his power was also a good one and explored many interesting possibilities. When this MC came in contact with other characters however the failing of the writers skill became apparent. the writer lacks World building skills and dialogue skills when there are many characters present. There are no details and therefore no context for my imagination to lock onto. The bestest story has to offer was in the beginning in the cave. Who cares about measuring clothes and ordering food for other characters? If you don't have anything interesting to write about don't use filler. Have more respect for the reader and your story.

love it

alright, this is now another series I'll follow doggedly. great story, no major headache characters, and the mc stupidity only last so long.

the ten realms combined with system apocalypse!!

this is the start of a great series it starts slow but has a complex magic system that takes place in apocalyptic earth around 300yrs after 21 century.

It has potential

The beginning was way too much crafting and menus for me, but the book eventually started rolling. MC is a burgeoning OP character, but he isn't there yet. Given the scale of challenges he/humanity faces, even being OP might not be enough so that isn't a bad idea for story balance.

His cluelessness got a bit grating at times, as it was inconsistent, but eventually (albeit near the end of the book) he started to resemble a functional adult.

It shows potential overall, so I'll certainly read another one if it shows up in audible.
