Roark von Graf - hedge mage and lesser noble of Traisbin - is one of only a handful of Freedom fighters left, and he knows the Resistance’s days are numbered. Unless they do something drastic... But when a daring plan to unseat the Tyrant King goes awry, Roark finds himself on the run through an interdimensional portal, which strands him in a very unexpected location: an ultra-immersive fantasy video game called Hearthworld. He can’t log out, his magic is on the fritz, and, worst of all, he’s not even human.

Thrust into an unknown, unwanted situation, most would feel panic, fear anger, and fall into chaos. Erik and Rugrat are not immune to those feelings, but they have stepped into chaos so many times, it is simply a different challenge. Two weeks ago, Erik lost his legs and his arm. Today he got a message. "You have been randomly selected to join the Ten Realms. One may choose to ascend the Ten Realms, thereupon making a request to the Gods of the Realms. Only those who are Level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 may ascend to the next realm. Fortune favors the strong!”

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 781
Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, DC, when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew was given access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he "slotted" his Xatherite and changed his fate: He gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker turned dungeon in a desperate bid for survival.

Alvin woke in a room that was not his, to discover that he had died and his brain had been bargained off cheaply to pay off someone else’s debt. It did not sit well with him. It didn’t surprise him that even in death, people were still using him for their own purposes. He had never exactly been a good guy, but everyone had their breaking point, and he had found his. The bastards in charge had uploaded his mind into a virtual death game. The whole world could now pay to see him play it and probably die. Regardless, he was not about to wait for death to come for him.

It has been two years since the Shift - when most technology stopped working, and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the Aelves. Among other guesses, predatory aliens seem as good as any other theory for what caused the Shift. But for Noah, everything else takes second place to survival, sometimes even self-respect... or any sort of decency. Lawless, post-apocalypse America had forced Noah to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly.

Absolutely Fantastic!!
First let me say that you MUST be a fantasy fan for this book! Second, you HAVE to enjoy sound effects and music while listening to the narration. If either of these are not you cup of tea then don't waste your time. However, if you do enjoy both these things then you really should give this book a chance. This is an epic fantasy and I can't wait to hear the next installment! When the music started then the narration I was trying to place what it was reminding me of, then I read another review that said the Lord of the Rings and I had an "aha" moment. That is exactly what this reminded me of. The narration is absolutely superb! Nigel Peever is totally awesome and makes this excellent story to the next level. Due to his great narration, clear voice, nice cadence and very distinct voices (human and creature both), he truly elevates this story to fantastic! A must listen to those who enjoy an enhanced listening experience! I listened to this in only two sittings!
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great listen
If you like Lord of the Rings and that line of fantasy books, you'll defiantly enjoy listening to this. It even comes with sound effects and a really good voice performer
who can really get you hooked by the first sentence and is exceptionally good. Shoot, he could probably be Sauron or Gandolf, if he wanted and no one would be the wiser.
So if you get the chance to listen, do so and enjoy.

Beautiful
First off this is a sound enhanced reading. There is music and sound effects to accompany the reading. Peever is EXCELLENT as a narrator as he changes his voice for different characters. His female voice is a bit falsetto for my taste but that's a very small gripe in a fantastically larger picture. If you're not into sound effects and music with your readings then I'd go elsewhere but I will warn you that you will be missing out on a great production.
First for the writing: Jacob Sannox does a great job at writing. There were a few places I would have thought a gifted editor could have tightened up his focus. But I'd also be concerned that an editor would start chopping some of the stuff that makes this writing so brilliant. This is one of those books that stays with you for a long time afterwards. And there are some twists, turns and wtf moments too.
I'd probably describe this as a dark fantasy with some elements of horror? I had to stay up until the early hours to finish it. That's how engrossed I got in the world that Sannox has created. It may start off slow and the beginning felt like it could have used a prequel but I caught up soon enough.
Peever has entered my top ten list of narrators. His ability to grasp accents, voices and ages of characters is truly gifted.
And holy sh*t ... the production. The altered voices of some of the fantasy creatures is imaginative on an epic scale. I think the production and sound effects really made this reading an engrossing listen. You are drawn into a fantasy world by the sound effects. This was an excellent book for this type of production. OH! And the volume of the sound effects is spot on. They didn't drown out the narrator or make the reading difficult to understand.
Highly recommend this audiobook!

A fantastic journey!
I love fantasy novels, and this one was wonderful! It brings you into the world, with enough detail to let your imagination run. Not your typical fantasy story, new fresh ideas! The narration was excellent, I love full production audiobooks, and this one was well done. I look forward to the next book in the series, can’t wait to see where the story goes from here!!

What a wonderful fantasy story! It’s a very entertaining story with a unique twist on the typical good vs evil battle. It’s cleverly written and had me hooked from the beginning. The narration is OFF THE HOOk! Nigel Peever was freaking fantastic! He really brought the story to a whole new level. It has a Lord of The Rings feel to it. The sound effects are expertly done can’t wait for the next book

Wasn't for me
The best part of this book was the narration. Nigel Peever did an excellent job with each of the character voices. My only complaint with the audio is all of the sound effects. I didn't mind them so much and enjoyed it some of the time, but there were times when it got to be a bit much and almost overshadowed the narration. I found myself concentrating more on the sounds than on the narration. The story itself was just too slow. It seemed like it was going nowhere and taking it's sweet time getting there. I gave this a good 4 hours of listening time before I just had to give up. Sadly, I did not finish.

A third copy and for good reason
Owning a hard copy and a kindle version of this book should say something of the enjoyment I've had from the start of this series. There's something special to be had from a book that you know is good and get to enjoy again and again. This is excellent fantasy, with wonder, political and social intrigue along with much that is unexpected indeed. I urge you to give this a listen, here and now.

Exciting and compelling story.
An exciting and compelling story from a less than typical perspective. Look forward to the sequel

Outstanding can't wait for the second one
Having read the printed version of this book and loved every page, the characters the world it's self and how they interact and shape it. I was keen to listen to a audio recording of it and I was not disappointed, Nigel lends a gravitas to Jacobs work that makes it come alive out of the pages even more and guides you through the story like an old friend.
Can't rate this highly enough.
Well done and keep it up.

Well narrated and unexpected plot
An unusual story that was initially difficult to get into but later very enjoyable. The plot twists in unexpected ways which keeps you listening. Nigel Peever's rich voice brought characters to life, even those not human.

From Dark Oak a mighty story grows
An epic audio book which had me gripped from the outset and definitely didn't disappoint! I would highly recommend. It turned the fantasy genre on its head and it did it with style. I loved Nigel Peever's narration; he really made Sannox's characters come to life.

Very entertaining
I’m not a great fan of listening to books however gave this a go. I’ve previously read the novel as I love good fantasy and had read any Sanox before, however I took this on a recent flight to the states. This book is read so well, the narrator brings the right amount of light and menace to the story. If you like your fantasy give this a try, thoroughly enjoyable.

Man battles Man and the Forest
A saga of warring men and the forest fighting back when it is severely encroached. Matters of the heart and magical fantasy are explored. There is mans inhumanity to man as well his mistreatment of nature. I think the foundations for further tales has been written. The narration, characterization and soundscapes greatly enhance the listening experience.

A great start to the series
Really enjoyed listening to this tale. A well written story and brilliantly told. Nigel has some great character voices and uses moderate sound effects throughout to enhance the atmosphere and intensity of the story.
All in all, I’m looking forward to seeing how the story plays out in the coming books!!
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.
