De: Tracy Gregory

Narrado por: Graham Mack

Yesterday a wannabe pro-gamer, today an alien admiral.

Evan was desperate to hit the big time playing Star Commander, the world’s most popular real-time strategy game. While Evan works hard to get the pros to notice him, it's very different eyes that are captivated by Evan's progress.

The Kirran Hegemony is at war. Outclassed at every step, the aliens turn to the most warlike race they know - humanity! Abducted from Earth, Evan finds himself fighting for his life, using his skills to command Hegemony forces in desperate battle.

Now, helped by fellow humans, Evan must prove victory can be grasped from the jaws of impossible odds.

Worth a read

Wasn’t sure about a novelized RTS, but was an enjoyable read! Will be getting the next in the series.

Overall a Solid Book

I was given a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the story. Nice premise....reminiscent of The Last Starfighter. At times the book was slow, but I understand the need to provide the story for future books.

Overall I recommend the book to Sci-Fi fans.

Interesting take on the litrpg genre.

Great story with an interesting twist to the LitRPG genre. Looking forward to the next book to come out.

Something different, a LitRTS

The LitRPG genre is pretty ubiquitous, so it was only a matter of time before a LitRTS came about. What's next, a Lit4x? God I hope so.

An RTS as a story is a much more difficult proposition than an RPG, given the lack of a central perspective. Using the trope of an alien force recruiting humans for our martial prowess (using video games as a screening tool) the story quickly moves into build order, micro and macro strategy and base management.

The story never really does anything unexpected, but it was easy to listen to and fun for an RTS fan. The narrator did an excellent job with the story, although he may have played the protagonist as a little too much of a jerk.

Enders game meets galaxy quest

About the best way I can describe it (see above) a small group of humans have been taken by an ancient alien race. They are getting their butts kicked in a war with an unknown enemy. The wars are fought with drone ships. The human gamers take to the tactics immediately. But can this handful of humans make a difference in a galaxy spanning war that is already half lost? Really well written, lost of action, character development and large group space tactics. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
