Wasteland Warlords 1

De: James Hunter, eden Hudson

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

“You keep what you kill. That’s one law everybody out here respects.”

Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast.

Dungeons popped up in shopping malls, airports, and Starbucks. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new type of gold rush. Magical weapons, powerful gear, potions to cure every ill...If you survive long enough to kill the mob, whatever they drop belongs to you.

Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for, chewed it up, and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his beer-loving, chainsaw-toting brother, Joe, are going west to try their hand at monster killing.

The loot from the low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn’t the real reason they risked the Infested Zone. They need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in 10,000 hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland. But the few who beat the odds gain riches, glory, and most importantly, the Dungeon Lord’s magical powers.

They have nothing left to lose and everything to gain. If they survive.

Bruce Campbell should be proud!

Chainsaws are in vogue again. Immature and rollicking fun that makes a great listen! 👍

A new take on dungeons

While I probably wouldn't have bought this for a credit for the length, it was well worth the listen in the Plus Catalog. We have a trio of characters (Clay, his wife Alex and his brother Lumberjack Joe). Rather than the entire world being taken over with a "system" it's mostly limited to the west coast of the US. After 20 years, the area has been secured and is basically a wild west again with no laws and lots of monsters. Outside the Infested Zone, almost all magical items are controlled by the government and illegal to posses, so our intrepid heroes venture to the IZ to solve Alex's problem. I've already started book 2 and looking forward to more.

Great fun!

I normally don't read LitRPG but I really like both of these authors and the story sounded intriguing. I found the LitRPG fit great in here and didn't slow the story down.
I enjoyed the characters and the plot. Lots of action and a scattering of humor. Will watch for #2!

Average - seems to be aimed at teenagers.

Average story - seems to be aimed at teenagers. Good narration, Travis Baldree is always good.

pure excellence.

this book needs to be in a much longer format with many more books in the series. the storyline is good, the characters are great, relatable, funny, and overall entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this short story from beginning to end. I hope for more.

best book ever ❤️ 👌

probably my favorite light RPG noval I've read in a while with a unique flair and waste land esthetic to boot 👢 plus I love ❤️ Lumber Jack Joe he's a redneck nerd 🤓 after my own heart

Good narration

Fun story! I enjoyed listening. The narrator is fantastic. Basically a redneck apocalypse dungeon crawling experience.

adhd approved

the story was nice and tight, litrpg mechanics refreshingly simple (I'm looking at you, Shirtaloon), characters interesting, and performance 10/10. the grammar police schtick speaks to my soul. I'm thrilled that two of the mains are happily, healthfully partnered.

Engaging and Fun

A rollicking adventure that keeps you unable to stop listening throughout. Imaginative and humorous respite from reality.

Audible flow is everything

I enjoyed the light tone and easy flow of the story. The pace was amazing!
