Double-Blind: Gilded Tower

A LitRPG Apocalypse Adventure

By: J. McCoy J. McCoy

Narrated by: Ramón de Ocampo

Corruption. Power struggle. Malevolent deities.

All this is topped off by a mysterious golden tower that appeared overnight, drawing adventurers from far and wide.

Still recovering from the events of Transposition and struggling with his nature, Matt sets out to rescue his best friend from the clutches of the mysterious organization that kidnapped him.

He’ll need every trick in the Rogue’s playbook to stay ahead of the game, using infiltration, cunning, and his unique Ordinator ability to outthink and outmaneuver stronger and better-connected foes.

With both new players and the remaining fragments of government in pursuit, playing both sides comes with the territory, and leaning into his alternate identity’s villainous image will be key.

Of course, there’s the obvious question: How long can you play the villain before you become one?

Book two of a LitRPG apocalypse series set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond Matt's wildest dreams.

So much story to go!

The fights are intense, emotional scenes hit, and characters act realistically when faced with adversity! So so good and so much fun, thank you!!!

Good 2nd round.

I like how the chapters continue from the first book. This book is setting up a big story arch. I hope it will maintain the momentum and quality so far.

Just a CORRECTION on my pervious review.

Somehow, the review shows the performance as 2 out of 5 stars. I don't know why or what I did wrong but it should have been 5 out 5.

This pairing of Jay McCoy and Ramon de Campo is imo perfection. It's a match I really hope will continue in many more future collaborations. It's a matched pair in the same league as Liegh Bardugo and Lauren Fortang, or Plum Parot with Rob Moreira.

Favorite Series

Easily one of the best game lit series I've read. While the character is flawed, they are both intelligent and consistent. Something I hardly see. The emotional depth is also more surprising than I would expect.

stands apart from most books in this genre.

Complex story and characters no harem elements. The stakes feel more real than in most books like it. I am looking forward to the next one.
