Forbidden Zone

The System Apocalypse, Book 11

By: Tao Wong

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

They can run, but hiding isn't in their forte.

After revealing the deception spread by the Galactic Council and the hidden aspects of the System, John Lee and his friends flee the council building on Irvina.

Just escaping the capital planet will tax them to their utmost. Evading the full force of the Galactic Council and their minions might be more than they can handle. While old allies deal with the new truths, friends fracture under the increasing pressure, and all the while, the System Quest hangs over John's head, unfinished.

Their only hope - their only clue - lies in the Forbidden Zone.

The Forbidden Zone is book 11 of the System Apocalypse universe and the penultimate book of the series. The System Apocalypse is a best-selling LitRPG series mixing post-apocalyptic fiction with alien invasions, military science fiction, and fantasy elements with game-like statuses and levels.

i am not happy

this long of a series, and this is the book that ends on a legit cliffhanger?
had i known I'd have waited until the last book was put...

still... it's a great book, just not happy with the ending

A few errors

Not sure what caused this, but about four times Nick’s voice would glitch and change as if he was talking at a different direction with the mic. Sometimes it sounded like he changed mics for a few words then it would go back to normal. Overall good book and great voice actor.

Great penultimate book

This was well done. Read all books and this one delivered well. Didn’t kick me off my seat but at this point I’m hooked.

MC has really developed but missed bolo in this book. It’s clear he makes a return in the finale.

Another satisfying entry

A well, balanced book overall leading up to what looks to be a very exciting conclusion

good book

great book in the series, keeps you guessing, it is mainly in space compared the all the other books but still I enjoyed it
