The Duty

Play to Live, Book 3

By: D. Rus

Narrated by: Michael Goldstrom

The perma players' new reality gains depth and color. The virtual world has seen its first birth - and its first death. The invisible umbilical cord connecting AlterWorld to Earth grows thinner, and even the Fallen One cannot prevent the looming catastrophe. Could Max have ignored the Russian girl who'd just escaped slavery in a virtual China? Could he have turned a deaf ear to her pleas as the desperate fugitive clutched at straws on hearing her native tongue? All this triggers a full-blown confrontation, sending armies of thousands into battle in the heart of the Frontier, burning kilotons of mana, melting desert sands and hacking through impervious mithril armor. The two nations' furious war cries obscure the sky as the gods shudder at humans' desperate cruelty.

Epic quest interrupted with occasional politics

Overall this was another good entry in the series. I however felt the non relevant to the story, real world moments to take me out of the fantasy. Still worth a listen though!

SPOILER ALERT

If you could sum up The Duty in three words, what would they be?

HE KILLED TALLY!

Any additional comments?

I was very upset about the direction he took at the end of this book. Also... STOP with the inner greedy pig... it's not funny anymore.

Better and better

Where does The Duty rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I thought out of the three Alterworld books, this was one of the better ones.

What did you like best about this story?

World building and but kicking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was happy with everything in the book. New skills, world building, cool bad guys, and epic story.

Any additional comments?

Alterworld is one of the series where you can't just read one book. Its a journey that made me buy all of t hem in one go. I think everyone should enjoy both the kindle version and the audio book versions.

max is a real deuche

he should bbq his inner pig. the thing is making him think that he is hot s^#t. he forgets himself by being so disrespectful to his god/friend, and when dealing with other gods. hes lucky he hasn't been turned into a giant turd.
