Commando

Battlegrounds Online, Book 2

By: Troy Osgood

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

The game has evolved....

Eric McCaffrey has been playing Zag in the VR-MMOFPS Battlegrounds Online for a while now. The more he plays, the more entrenched into the game he gets.

It hardly even feels like a game anymore.

Zag, now one of the commandos for the Knights of the Tactical Operations Group, is tasked with freeing Punta del Muerta from the terrorist group Wyvern. Along with the rest of the Knights, Zag will dive deep into the jungles, war-torn cities, and concrete bunkers, but will he be able to complete all the missions in time?

Outside, in the real world, Eric is becoming a new man. The game has impacts on him that he's just beginning to discover, affecting both mind and body.

But is it for the better?

Don't miss book two in this high-adrenaline LitRPG/LitFPS adventure from the Amazon best-selling author behind Sky Realms Online. An action-packed thrill ride that puts you right in the crosshairs.

Still great. One request…

Neil, please stop saying F.O.B. In any military world, it’s pronounced FOB, or just say the Forward Operating Base. Either are acceptable. F.O.B. makes it sound like you didn’t do your homework, but I know you’re a stellar narrator. Also, I noticed significantly less deep breaths between sentences that are way too prevalent in the Ten Realms Series, so thank you! It can be a little distracting at times. That’s literally my only gripe with Book 2 (and 1 for that matter). Love this series. Keep em’ coming!

This was a fine story

This was a fine story and one which is reasonably creative and interesting and engaging

Great Story

Loved the pace of the action and the MC development. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

This is definitely a solid story. A bit light on the video game aspects but definitely still enjoyable. For the folks that are wondering why the main character isn't extremely offended at what is being done to him, That anger and outrage is what will stir people to purchase the next book. There is a reason there is drama and all TV shows or other forms of entertainment. Changing people without their consent is highly illegal and unethical. In the next Book we will likely see if they are the good guys or not. Also as to why Eric is not extremely offended. 1) He is already being subjected to mind alteration which can obviously include limiting how many questions he asks as well as adjusting his mindset. 2) Many folks that join the military have no other alternatives. As a veteran myself I came from a very bad neighborhood and saw no other way out. In the beginning of the story the main character has literally nothing going for him and is living a dead end life. This game although changing him without consent has given him an entire life and drive he never had before as well as basically superpowers since he was nothing beforehand. It's all mysterious and crazy but I have been intrigued the entire time and certainly enjoy the book. I keep asking myself why would you keep logging back in and don't you realize it's just a game and those aren't real teammates. At the end of the day that is the author's design. I'll be getting the next.
