Publisher's summary

If you had to choose between your life and your dreams, would you ever wake up?

Alan Campbell thought he'd gotten his dream job working on a revolutionary VRMMORPG with Osmark Technologies, until the project was canceled. He has one weekend to dive into an untested world full of intrigue, violence, and corruption to prove that Viridian Gate Online works, but the AIs running the game have their own plans for his soul.

Set a year before the events of Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm, Viridian Gate Online: Nomad Soul takes you back to when VGO was just a game, or so it seemed.

so so good

I can't believe it but I think i like this series more than the original. I am almost complete with book#2

best yet

I have enjoyed the VGO stories so much? I am sad this is the last storyline. This is my favorite so far. Short review, I need to quickly download the next in the series.

Holy doodle!

I was a bit grumpy when this was published: I'm past ready to go back to advancing the main story line. But the book turned out to be full of twists and revelations. It's a more more complex backstory that fills out the world and how it came to be, and how Sandra and Osmark came to be who they are when we meet them. It's totally worth a credit. My interest in the side-quests has also been renewed. Now I want more!

My favorite book in the expanded VGO World

The author delved into some of pre-VGO story, which helped to provide a fuller understanding of some of the primary characters. I enjoyed the main character and look forward to listening to the next book in this series.

Spoiler....




Sandra seems to nice in this story as does Thanatos. Maybe something will happen to change that is the next book.

Point of view

If you like the other viridian gate stories you will probably enjoy this as well. It does however get confusing at times when the author changes point of view.

Very good book with a spin

I was searching for a new series. I had listened to VGO series and kept by-passing the rest wondering if the could be as good as the other I had listened to. I am so happy I did. I have listened to well over 1000 books and picken is getting slim. But every now and then you find one you overlooked.. I was pleasantly surprised by this one and I listened to it in one day. I am going to get book 2 now and see if it is as good... Thanks to D.J. Bodden and James Hunter for taking the time to help me escape real life. After cancer and chemo there is not a lot I can do but you guys helped jump start my imagination.. Thank you Tim V

great fun!

well when I reach what was the end of the series I grabbed this...and I was very pleased to go back to the very beginning and see a little bit of the game before.
well worth the credit and looking forward to the next one.

wow amazing!

Just as good, dare say better than the original series. If you enjoyed the original than you are going to love this one.

vastly superior to the original VG story

wow, way better than the first VG story, wandering if that was more co author doing than original.

worth the credit. great Lit RPG with pleasantly done storyline.

a good book for litrpg fans

the voice actor does a good job and on top of that I would strongly recommend before reading this one you read the primary Viridian gate series but I would also advise you read the primary series before reading any of the side series as it gives a lot of context
