Publisher's summary

Eric Peters has been reborn. Sent back in time to change humanity's fate.

After experiencing a future where all of humanity’s planets and colonies had been purged, Eric refused to fall. And so, the Entity chose him to be humanity's last hope—to be Reborn....

The Reborn are galactic boogiemen. Myths and legends used to terrify children and curb the aggression of advanced alien civilizations. They are usually granted boons and abilities able to grow powerful enough to destroy star systems, making them the number one target of every alien race out there.

But in Eric’s case, the Entity had screwed humans. Instead of being given powers that could make him like a god, they are barely classed as special.

With only his memories and a couple of minor boons, Eric needs to survive evil elements within humanity, the circling alien races that would do anything to eliminate him, and change history sufficiently so that when the Traclaon Empire declares war, his species can fight back.

In his first life, Eric was inconsequential. In this life, he will be anything but….

Reborn Inception is the first book in an epic LitRPG series from Alex Kozlowski, the best-selling author of the Alpha Physics series. The series follows Eric’s progression from nothing to a man who uses future-knowledge to transform humanity and to grow stronger himself until he can challenge the most powerful of intergalactic enemies.

Great storyline

I have read another series by this author. He is great and I am excited by this new series. I think it has excellent potential to be a great series.

Great Series

Just to let you know, I got this book for free from Aethon Marketing. Now, let me tell you, I'm totally into this series. It's got this cool mix of tech and cultivation that I've never seen done like this before. I was a bit unsure at first, but the author really nailed it and I was hooked pretty quickly.

The main character can be a bit clueless sometimes, but overall, he's pretty good at making decisions. I'm really hoping the next book in the series keeps up the good work. Can't wait to see what comes next and I'm crossing my fingers the author doesn't keep us waiting too long!

Slow start, amazing finish

The first quarter or so was a bit slow and tedious. After that, everything was excellent. Absolutely looking forward to this next book.

could be a great series but slow atart

Really like the idea and look forward to it continuing. It feels like a lot of filler was added to prolong the story and that is not needed since they have 500 years. The start weak and become strong latter was over done. pretty much level 0 for almost the entire book. He was about to learn about the 1 cool power he got then got distracted and failed to go back to look at it. Even when he was in a life and death situation that he needed a miracle to survive. The book teased greatness, hopefully book 2 will start providing it.

I recommend it

Well as a rule I tend to take it easy on the first book of a new series. In my experience even from tried and true authors the first of a new story can be a rather shaky endeavor. Don't think I need to do that for this book. I've never come across this author before but I thoroughly enjoyed this first entry of a new series. About halfway through I picked up the audiobook seeing that it was out. Still I like the book well enough that I decided to leave reviews in both places. It was interesting that the narrator sounded like an American but that the book is written with British language. It did not distract from the story in any way especially since it's a Sci-Fi series. The story is Terminator adjacent. Humanity gets wiped out by evil aliens and our main character is selected to go back in time and stop it. Our main character shows up in the body of his 17-year-old self. Right from the beginning things don't go as planned as our main character doesn't get the tools he needs to do his job and yet somehow has to find a way to make it work. Furthermore we have an added complication. A romantic interest. I'll stop there because I don't want to be spoiling anything for anybody. Book two is out now but unfortunately not in audio format as the time of this review. With that I'll simply say Well done to everybody who had a hand and bringing the story to us, the audiobook listeners and Amazon readers.

a good time story

it was done very well and at some point I even teared up well done.

Better than I expected

I was hesitant going in to listen this. But it was a great audio book. Tons of chapters and action. The first 2 chapters or so were a little slow. But afterwards, it was difficult to stop listening.

Love the inception concept

I enjoyed the narrator overall. Great plot line where someone is actually supposed to be reborn if all else fails.

A slow start

Overall I enjoyed the book, the world and plot are interesting; all though it does suffer from slow pacing and the MC is not my favorite.

Slow Start yet Finished Strong

it took a 4th of the book before the MC stopped repeating himself what he needed to do and how hard it would be yet eventually got into the action and progress readers expect from a litrpg. I almost have up yet very glad I hung on there because the book was pretty solid of you can make it through the beginning.
