Apocalypse BREAKER, Book 1

By: Aaron Renfroe, Sean Oswald

Narrated by: Alex Ross, Arya Jacobs

Now a #1 NEW Release!

Where the System demands obedience, Dean chooses rebellion.

The System is expanding its reach, consuming countless worlds as it does. Those who do not die are converted into adventurers—thralls who feed its lust for endless violence and conquest.

During a chance encounter with one of the System’s agents, Dean Williams is Activated, becoming one of the few on Earth with access to magic. Enhanced far beyond normal adventurers, his mission is simple:

Complete quests. Earn rewards. Gain power.

But power isn’t enough.

In giving Dean access to its secrets, it made a weapon no one is prepared for. Abandoning the safe path, Dean will wage war against fate itself.

He will become the Apocalypse BREAKER.

Apocalypse BREAKER is a collaboration between Aaron Renfroe and Sean Oswald, fusing their overlapping and distinct styles to create a fast-paced, over-the-top, apocalyptic, LitRPG epic.

Fans of the series should expect a powerful main character, vast worlds to explore, intense combat, and fun world building. As the story evolves, expect team and base building, along with hints of politics and maneuvering that spans vast alien civilizations. You know, the good stuff.

Unique and action packed!

Is a sea of cookie cutter like LitRPG’s this is a breath of fresh air and was a quick and easy listen. Going to Patreon right after this to get access to the next book because i don’t want to wait a month, even though I prefer to read and listen at the same time!

Apocalyptic System Invasion?? Not on Dean’s watch!

When Dean gets dragged out of his bed for a last minute courier delivery to a secret government facility, little did he know his life would never be the same. Thrust into circumstances beyond his control, he learns the truth. The System is here, and it’s not our friend. Learning to balance newfound powers, situations, people, not to mention lifelong anger issues, Dean moves from one headache to another, (and not all of them are his migraines.)

Apocalypse BREAKER is the start of a great adventure, with a protagonist that just won’t quit and some very well developed supporting characters. I’m eager for book 2, and excited to see where this series takes me!

Read this book on Kindle and had to get it once it came out on Audible 😁

Game Changing Cheat Codes

This is a very refreshing take on a genre that could easily get stale very quickly. I like that the system encourages thinking outside the box and rewards cleverness even if it’s occasionally to its own detriment. Fun plot twist, the MC starts out low-key sociopathic and the system actually helps him temper that.

This is a fun book yet I can’t help but feel is working up to something much bigger, and I’m excited to see where this series goes.

Not your average mc

I like that the MC is a killer who is ok with himself but how his brother’s ghost acts as his conscience to help him grow into more. It has a fun magic/system premise that is a new take on how to hack the system. Thought it was funny how the authors call out some of the common tropes while in them but then tweaking them. Robin was a great addition and totally laughed out loud when almost named mongo. Always enjoy the nods to other greats. Gonna be fun to see how different robin can/will be with different summonings (not sure right word there). Also hilarious to see other species get sucked into the black whole that is tv sitcoms. I’m excited to see what comes next.

Agree there were a few times the narrator mispronounced words that was a little odd. And it took me a sec but I soon came to LOVE the enthusiasm of his narration. His Characters really came alive! Personality and inflection to the nth degree for everything. With announcer like commentary at times. It was great. Found my self saying, APOColypse BREAKER! Out loud a few times. 😂🤣so many litrpgs have a flat mechanical tone especially when system speaks that i honestly find myself zoning out at times. You def can NOT sleep through his narration. I wonder if he records his sessions. I bet they’re fun to watch

Great

Great news series by Sean. Alex and Arya did a fabulous job with reading! I can't wait for book 2!

the F bombs in this story finally got to me.

I made it 13 chapters before I couldn't listen anymore. I liked the story but the foul language ruins it. guess I won't be following this series. good luck.

entertaining

honestly the first half until he goes into the second event and the analyst joins him, was really good and entertaining but after that I just found myself skipping a lot of chapters and honestly I didn't lose any of the story because of the battle reports and updates on inventory and skills.

Epic hilariousness.

This story just kept me enthralled from the get go.

I love the pet rocks he picks up as he goes along, and then Robin added plenty of hilariousness to the story!

Amazing

Love the narration and the story so much! Can’t wait to hear more from this author!

Listen to the end!!

Ok, so if you HAVEN’T listened to the Bonus Ribs instructions, you are missing out. On top of being quite good instructions, the narrator did a fantastic job of reading them and putting the proper inflections and everything!!

Moving back to the story - this was a great book. I loved how dean realized who he is. What his cooking is. I love how he developed a friendship with Sharon without completely changing who he is. I see that changing as he lets in more of his team, maybe in book 2. Stand between evil and the innocents, always!!

The latter third of the book had me completely riveted, unable to stop while I chewed all my fingernails to nubs, waiting to see what was going to happen. I might have lost sleep… I might have skipped an activity… I certainly skipped food.
