Publisher's summary

It’s amazing what the lack of immediate threat to one’s life and wellbeing can do for a person’s disposition. High risk, high reward endeavors suddenly seem far less appealing, month-long delays are no longer a cause for concern, and sleeping in every single day of the week becomes an extremely attractive proposition. Indeed, without a pressing need to aggressively expand its power, Boxxy T. Morningwood is finally able to simply sit back, enjoy life, and watch the world both turn and burn. Questions such as "Who started those fires?" and "Should I do something about them?" are answered with "Don’t know" and "Don’t care." Having finally achieved the slow life it never knew it wanted, Boxxy is quite unwilling to jeopardize its newfound safety for no good reason.

Of course, old habits die hard. Acquiring things of the tasty and/or shiny variety remain an enticing goal, as does the steady accumulation of power. Just because it no longer has the threat of death looming over it doesn’t mean that the once-mimic won’t take the occasional calculated risk in exchange for immense personal gain. Admittedly, developments outside its predictions will inevitably put carefully laid plans to waste, but that’s how it always has been and always will be. Boxxy will deal with those issues in the same manner it always has–with cunning ingenuity, brutal efficiency, and old-fashioned dumb luck. Despite what one might think, all three of those traits can be nurtured and improved, even something as seemingly unreliable as good fortune. Especially good fortune.

The time for the Hero of Chaos to get thrown about by the whims of fate is over, and it is now Boxxy’s turn to make the world bend to its will, starting with the savage orcs of the far south.

Love it

The story is great. The actors are great and all the little sounds just make it that much better.

I will be buying the next book ASAP!

What a delightfully tasty series, I can't wait for the next shiny or tasty. I am absolutely looking forward to the next book.

I just like it from the beginning

Harsh brutal creative and monstrous I have been laughing since the beginning sometimes I have to “turn away” but that’s okay too. Monsters do monster shit

Amazingly entertaining book.

So far this series has some real staying power. The insert of the mini adventures the small mimic was truly fun. I laughed out loud and had to catch myself while at work. the way they added the new character to Boxxy's roster was very well done! I hope they find a way to keep this series going well into book 18. Great author and even better narration team!

Brilliant

Fantastic installment in this grand adventure! Both Stain and Jackson have been awesome entries and cannot wait for the next one!

note to Arthur: clouds are warm and not slimy. at least Earth ones.

I passed through a cloud while parachuting. The sweaty worth surprised me till I thought about it. Clouds are fog that is warm enough to float high in the sky.

Story little all over but had to happen

The story was little all over but it made sense due to the fact that last book finally dealing with his first big enemy after so long. a 2 year jump had to happen and setting the field for the next arc. The writing was still superb and flowed pretty well.

Wont lie that Zone being alive was kind of little annoying but.... I concede it was amazing (and satisfying) for Karma to catch up to her and basically rebuild her from the ground up.

Its also nice subtle setup in last two books of lite foreshadowing of what Reggie is up too.

love the series

Love the series. can't wait for the next book to be recorded. all hail the mistress of randomness.

The storyline has been an addicting experience.

Not the biggest fan of the music and over use of sound effects. They seem to take away from the story when the story is stuck to and doesn’t take a side quest. I listened to the first three 5 times, but the writing is not at the same level. It is still good, but just not the same.

Another Banger

I don't feel like giving a true review but felt the book at least deserved a small one to pad its star rating. One of the few long running series that doesn’t get stale.
