Melee, Book 1

By: Wyatt Savage

Narrated by: Luke McKeel

What was once virtual, is now reality.

Trapped in the middle of an alien invasion, Logan James, a down-on-his-luck dollar store cashier, discovers there’s only one way out...

Compete in an alien-imposed game, a global battle royale called the Melee.

Forced to fight with his best friend Dwayne and a cute cashier named Alicia, he finds that the rules are simple: battle against the other participants and an army of the galaxy’s worst monsters and villains, level up, amass experience points and loot, and use any means necessary to reach the center of the Earth in 19 days.

Hundreds of people will live.

Hundreds of millions will die.

cool premise and believable characters

Narrator did an great job bringing this story to life. I picked up the series on Kindle after listening.

enjoyable

really like the book. definitely going to grab the next one in the series. worth a listen

Great start!

It reminded me of the tower to heaven series with the plot and how it brings in aliens that place things down to challenge the mortal humans.

Great story

A little slow opening but overall good. Even though I can accept his mental limitations his friends are idiots when it comes to the changes around them. haven't they played video games? Watch Dr Who? I feel like at least one of them should have been a geek. Also there is too much patience with the main character. personally I would have been screaming at him for not trying to troubleshoot or research the game in the beginning to avoid the dumbest questions during a major crisis.

One Day Read

This was a unique take in the world-ending/LitRPG genre. The characters are believable and easy to identify with.

I am looking forward to other books in this series and I hope I don't have to wait long. Good job in the narration and a well written story.
