Nexus Runner

By: Frank Morin

Narrated by: Keith Brown

Welcome to the Game!

Lucas Altan and his friends are among the thousand people ripped out of Colorado and teleported to an alien planet. He wakes up alone, with an overly friendly AI as his only companion.

Here, magic is real and the clock is ticking. The rules are simple:

Find your team.

Fight through four stages of monster-infested wilderness before time runs out.

Fail and you die . . . and condemn everyone on Earth too.

Lucas finds he’s got a knack for killing monsters, winning unique loot, and surviving against long odds.

Wielding fast wits, cool spells, and a magical sword that can’t cut anything physical, he needs to level up faster than the odds stacking against him. It’s the only way to save his friends and not become that guy who let Earth die.

This fast-paced action fantasy litrpg adventure hurls Lucas into a crucible of combat, magic, and nonstop adventure. Perfect for fans of DCC and Primal Hunter.

One of the best audiobooks ive heard

Well lets start off with the book being amazing, really likeable MC and the side characters are good too! I love the world building as well and it gives you a pretty good idea where everything is at and the scenery in the scenes. Now lets talk about Keith Brown, he has an amazing voice for one. he also does a really great job at doing other voices for the other characters so you can digest the dialogue better. ive heard a couple of audio books where the narrator doesnt do this and just says it normally. Give this book a listen if you enjoy litRPG/GameLit its an amazing addition to this genre!

This new Lit RPG is intense, immersive, funny, and a great value! Bring on Book 2!

Frank Morin has crafted a phenomenal sci-fi story with Nexus Runner, and Keith Brown’s narration brings it to life perfectly. The pacing and narrative drive are exceptional, making it easy to listen for hours and hours without ever getting bored.The battle sequences are brilliantly written—completely immersive, detailed, and graphic enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. At the same time, I highly appreciate that the book contains no smut or heavy swearing so I can listen with kids in the car or read chapters with them at home. On top of the high stakes, the story is packed with hilarious movie and pop culture references that kept me laughing throughout.Clocking in at a 22+ hours this audiobook feels like getting two books in one, offering incredible value on Audible. I am hooked on this universe and looking forward to the next book. With the 3rd book having just been released in print and the 4th currently in progress, I am thrilled that there is so much more of this epic adventure to look forward to. Highly recommended!

Good for a new series

was good for start for a new series you can tell the inspiration taken from DCC and PH looking forward to book 2

Mid

In a world of DCC clones, a Primal Hunter clone actually was nice to see. Unfortunately this MC is lamer than Jake in every way, and that takes allot of the magic away from the story. I hope the story branches away from primal hunter more in the next one and that this lame hero complex he has is able to pan out better, or at least feel more natural.

Excellently done

The system and mechanics are top tier. One of the best power systems i have seen in a very long time. The Mc is well done and the plot/ story supports the world creation to an excellent degree.
- a great addition to lovers of primal hunter and defiance of the fall.
