Terramyr Online

An Undiscovered Country: A LitRPG Adventure

De: Sam Ferguson

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

A "harmless" VR game test proves to be anything but....

Almost as exciting as the chance to have archeologist Brian Harris' dig sites modeled in an interactive virtual reality is the chance to alpha-test the newest Terramyr Online game for the company providing the tech.

The arrangement is simple, test the game, play the main storyline, and report any glitches. In return, the game's main designer will render fully virtual models of the dig sites that will not only ensure Brian's successful graduation but set him up for life as he uncovers the secrets hidden within a trio of ancient Chilean volcanoes. Stavtech's main developer is ridiculously demanding, but a sneak peek at the game is too good to pass up.

Trouble is, some of the glitches are interfering with the dig. Throw in the fact that the volcanoes are more active than they have been in the last several decades, and Brian is in for the challenge of his life.

Somehow, he needs to finish the dig in three weeks, otherwise, the Chilean government is going to shut the site down for fear of a volcanic eruption. Grabbing his shovel and pick by day, and fighting monsters, bosses, and hunting down glitches by night, Brian soon becomes embroiled in an adventure that will change the course of his life forever...as long as he doesn't die first.

Don't miss an LitRPG adventure unlike any you've ever experienced before. Equal parts Epic Fantasy World and Indiana Jones, it has everything for lovers of the genre.

This book includes: Skill trees that compliment each class, experienced-based leveling, guild questlines, unique races, companions, plenty of stats, and much more.

For the students it maybe too good to be true...

I AbsoDamnLutely loved this book! Sam Ferguson did something I've never seen before... He took a fully fleshed out fantasy series (a series he wrote, btw) and then wrote a litRPG that takes place within the world of that same fantasy series! Imagine your favorite series... turned into a mmorpg! Awesome.
The developers who wrote the game's code, are now offering the game out to some beta players, and those players are a team of archeology students who are working on their degrees, excavating in a new dig-location in the shadow of Three active volcanoes, deep within the Chilean mountains. What does this have to do with the game? The main Dev's actually onsite, and she's promised to make full 3-D images of the dig site and their findings! The students get their hands dirty by day, digging the site, and by night, they're all playing the game, searching for bugs/glitches before the game's release. Also, most of the students have already read and loved the Terramyr series, and they're excited to get first crack at playing the game!
You know it's not going to be easy... too good to be true, comes to mind. There ARE bugs ("bugs" is an understatement, btw), smoking volcanoes, and a Developer that's always grumpy and unhelpful!
Travis Baldree's excellent narration makes the words and characters come to life in this fantastic tale!

A worthy book

Sam Ferguson creates a unique environment for hosting his litRPG novel in. It's a blend of real world active volcano archeological excavation, innovative massive RPG gaming system to assist in uncovering the secrets of the discovered artifacts. All the while, the game is in what could be considered system test before general release and so there are only a small cadre of research students, their professor and a game company project manager who is needed to channel the student-researchers that will help discover any bugs (flaws) in the gaming software.

The interaction between these few characters; along with some unknown game influence that make for a compelling story.

There may come a time when skills and enthusiastic delivery may leave Travis Baldree's performance and delivery but ... NOT THIS DAY!

Really Fun Read!

I really enjoyed the story that Sam created here - both the aspects related to the real world in Chile as well as the VR game world. I found myself wanting just such a game to play and enjoy. What really surprised me when listening to the narration is that I was just as excited to learn more about the real world archeology aspects in the story as I was to find out what was going on with the in game story!

If you want a great introduction to the LitRPG genre then definitely give this a read and/or listen! I liked it so much I bought both the kindle and audible version.

Pleasantly surprised!

As I am not a huge fan of the LITRPG Fantasy genre, I took a chance on this title. I would have to say that I am now going to have to delve into this genre more going forward. The story was fantastic with great character development and the world building was awesome. The narrator did a great job and kept me wanting more. Any fans of this genre won’t be disappointed by this book and should pick it up for your next listen.

Kinda boring

I hate books that jump from off to online and this one was kinda lame
