Publisher's Summary

Diving into a revolutionary new video game, Marcus and his friends escape a stagnant society, entering into a world that defies their wildest imaginations. But from the moment that he logs in, Marcus finds himself separated from his friends and thrown into a remote village under attack by a horde of goblins.

Forced into battle, Marcus rallies the beleaguered villagers and, with their help, manages to drive off the invading creatures. With the village in ruins and their supplies spoiled, the survivors desperately turn to Marcus for help in rebuilding the village.

Realizing that this game is nothing like he's ever played before, Marcus is swept up into a whirlwind of adventure as he struggles to defend his new home, quickly finding that marauding goblins are the least of his problems.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story

If you are hesitant about this one don't be, one of the best narrators I have had the pleasure of listening to reads a captivating story a little more mature than I was expecting for the genre. The story is centered between large amounts of action and enjoyable lulls.

Loved it.

Although the narrator sounded a little robotic to me at first, I got past that quick and really got into the story.

a solid start

This series is another one based off a new game that steals the world's attention. it has its own systems and restrictions like all do.

The book takes about 4 hours to get into the meat of the game, and once it starts you won't be able to put it down.

I am a huge fan of The Ten Realms, and the building of a city and defense of said city. This scratches that itch, and I am eager for the next book.
