Publisher's summary

The Connected System has come to Earth, bringing with it the apocalypse...

In an instant, life as it was known is gone, replaced by a System called The Connection. It doesn't come quietly as earthquakes rock the planet, the chosen survivors falling unconscious as the Connection takes their bodies and Adapts them.

Lochlan Brady and his family were on their way home from a camping weekend when the Connection appears. He awakens with a new Adapted body, finding his wife missing. Now Loch must survive and thrive in this new world with his two teenage daughters, Harper and Piper. All Loch wants to do is protect his daughters and find his wife.

A chance encounter with creatures straight out of myth will force the family to quickly confront the reality of their new lives, the changed world and give Loch a jump in power. But with that power will come responsibility and more danger.

Along with the attention of some of the most powerful beings in The Connected System.

Action packed

with the connection arriving a family caught in the middle. the wife disappears, and the father of young girls in attempting to escape danger accidently fine themselves in a deadly dungeon. luckily this family have a special trait that my be their key to survive

Good, but

The dad is, well a clueless dad. That isn’t a bad thing, except, he’s supposed to be a gamer and an ex military grunt. Given that I would have expected him to be a little more with it and a little less dumb.

For the way he comes off it’s like he was never in the military at any level and not really a gamer at all. This is fine and overall doesn’t matter much, it’s just the description and action done add up.


Overall though it’s a good story and a fun plot. I’m looking forward to the next book.

good

this book is good just having a hard time getting through the children and the whole family thing is not going well for me.

loving the world building

the story is really good and I'm loving the world building...only negative I have is they talk about their feelings too much before during and after a fight making fights last so long but if that's the only negative thing going forward I'm excited for the remainder of the series

hoe frustratingly detailed it was.

I loved the story but the author was so long winded with descriptions of everything it became very frustrating to listen to. almost turned it off about 5 times.

Osgood Does Not Disappoint

This one has solid action and funny dialogue throughout. Just what I needed today. :) Can't wait for Book 2.

blah

who ever listen to a flat earther explain why the earth is flat, some of the explanations have that vibe. you know what they're saying is bull but they're earnest in there belief. I know introspection and exposition is needed in a book but when you repeat the same thought over and over again you get this a story that's going knowhere quickly. Anyway best of luck this one going to need it

Very good 8.5

Really great start of the series. I cant wait for more, Very original, great narration.

New and exciting world being remade story.

I really enjoyed how the story was written and how it wasn’t just like the rest. They made their own twists and made it their own. I just wish the next book the author moves the story forward to include all the sub stories that were added. Especially how the mother will be added back into the family.

frustrating

Another lit RBG where the author makes the MC.A complete moron. Instead of doing the smartthing and empowering his family from the beginning he's constantly hemming and hauling and delaying. And then the lazy writing going back to the same old boring trope of a bazooker rage.Come on
