Welcome to The Land, Audible's 2018 Customer Favorite!

Enter a mesmerizing tale reminiscent of the wonder of Ready Player One and the adventure of Game of Thrones

Book 1 of a 7 Book series that will Amaze and Delight you for weeks!

Tricked into a world of banished gods, demons, goblins, sprites and magic, Richter must learn to meet the perils of The Land and begin to forge his own kingdom. Actions have consequences across The Land, with powerful creatures and factions now hell-bent on Richter's destruction.

Can Richter forge allegiances to survive this harsh and unforgiving world or will he fall to the dark denizens of this ancient and unforgiving realm?

A tale to shake "The Land" itself, measuring 10/10 on the Richter scale, how will Richter's choices shape the future of The Land and all who reside in it? Can he grow his power to meet the deadliest of beings of the land? When choices are often a shade of grey, how will Richter ensure he does not become what he seeks to destroy?

It’s a blend of sci-fi and fantasy, depending on how it comes to be that our main character ends up living inside a virtual reality. the point of LitRPG is not how we get there, but that we get to be in this virtual reality period, living life as a badass video-game character. Beat the grind and submerse yourself in these addictive LitRPGs.

Excellent book made better

I purchased and read through the first 6 books in just over a week and the series is amazing. I saw the free sample of the first audio book on the author's Facebook page and after listening to it I was blow away that an already great series could get better. This was the first audio book I have ever purchased and it was well worth it. The story is amazing and Nick Podehl took the story to a whole new level with his excellent voice acting. I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment.

Truly great experience

This book is quite remarkable. Search an intriguing story. It kept me captivated from beginning to end. This story starts off amazing and stays amazing throughout the whole book. I almost want to do a review in the middle of the story. I guess the only thing to do now is to continue on with the next book and next book and next book until the series is complete. Do yourself a favor and purchase this book, listen to the story, and get drawn in to the world that the author has magnificently created.

Best book series in the world

This is an incredible story that is performed by the smoothest voice. You truly get enveloped into the lives of the characters and the plot.
Your mind will try to figure out what is going to happen next and it is the complete opposite.
Beautifully written and performed. Love it.
Ready for book 8.

Life Changing Experience

In all my life I have had problems reading and/or listening to books. Either they go too fast or are too confusing. It got to the point where I would not read just because I knew that I wasn't going to like it. Eventually, my friend came along and let me borrow his audible. I listened to about ten minutes of this before buying a subscription outright and then ordering the whole series. This has opened my eyes to a new genre of books and how good stories on audible are read. I especially appreciate the accents and the smoothness of Nick Podehl when he reads. It made this story even better.

The adventure awaits.

I didn't know what to expect from a LitRPG but once I started listening I was hooked. I am on book 2 now and am loving the adventure.
