Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon

By: Matt Dinniman

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

Length: 20 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

A private server. A digital playground. An alliance of the world's most sadistic, most depraved minds. A place to bring their prey, to hone their skills.

Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon. Survival horror. One of the most brutal, most terrifying full-immersion games ever made. A place where fantasy characters such as elves and dwarves clash with technology, where giant monsters roam the hills, entrusted with protecting the gates of heaven from the demons who would tear it all down.

A game where one plays the last of the battlefield surgeons: a healer tasked with keeping the behemoths alive at all costs.

But on this server, they don't care about the game. That's not why they're here. They've come because of the game's most unique feature: full pain. Realistic anatomy. The ability to bring their victims well beyond the body's normal breaking point. And most importantly, the ability to bring them back and do it all over again.

Trapped in a bloody, merciless nightmare, Duke only has one goal: to survive. And in order to survive, he must play the game. He must win the game. And to do that, he must become the most cruel, most ruthless monster of them all.

A dark, gritty story, and a man forced to survive.

Well written book with a dark and gritty atmosphere. You can tell the author put a lot of time and effort into this 15 hour length audiobook.

A CUT above!

As a fan of both the author and the narrator, this was a real treat to listen to. I found the book supremely creative. It has all the fun game-lit elements, but a really unique setting and characters. A master class in world building. Dark subject matter too - pretty visceral at times. At other times, plenty of just plain viscera!
Joe Hempel's performance is tops. He disappears right into the story - something he's uniquely good at.
This one's a must for any fan of the genre.

This is a horror novel

I somehow missed any warnings about this book, if there were any, but this book is a horror novel. more than just sci-fi it is horror sci-fi. disturbing psychological horror. I wouldn't continue it if I didbt like Dominion of Blades so much. DoB was so good, but this is as disturbing as DoB is good, so its hard to take for me. if you like movies like Saw, you might like this book. I feel a little ambushed by this book, because DoB was so sweet, but whatevs, I'm not done with it and will probably keep going since I trust this author.

Dark...

So Dark but entertaining. This is not discrept overly but wakes you to the world of dark people doing there desires online.

Wow

That was absolutely messed up and glorious. Are you alright, man? Please keep writing 😂

I don't even know what to say..... Good book but

Super DARK. Prepare yourself, you can't forget the things you will hear in this book. There's a lot to say but honestly you have to listen to understand.

this was a masterpiece

I loved this book! Such a mind trip through every step. Highly Recommend! Thanks Matt!!!

Woah

This book was tough to get thru and because it’s bad. But damn it is rough. Amazing detail on viscera and pain. The ending it going to stick with me for a while.

Are you ok Matt?

There is something deep and dark buried in this book, that seems all too familiar.
If anyone is looking for Dungeon Crawler Carl type of a book, this here is not it...

This is not the sound booth version

That said it was pretty good I really enjoy Matt’s writing, this one is dark but if you are here odds are you are in to that sorta thing, it’s a lot less funny than dungeon crawl but it has its moments, except those moments are excruciating pain. Do your self a favor and listen to this on sound booth their production is much better, that said I’d love if they updated this version to that. Any way can’t wait for the next in the dungeon crawler Carl series.
