About this listen

Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he’s fighting for his life.

When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players. But Jack is in a worse predicament. He’s cornered in the very tower the terrorists have taken as their base; the only free player left within its walls. Even worse, in the real world, his body lies in a sweltering room with no hope of relief.

Playing the profession-based Scavenger class, and at a low level, Jack’s prospects of fighting his way out are next to impossible. Crafting gear, traps, and weapons, allied with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can’t fully trust, Jack is in a race against time to save not just himself but the millions of players held hostage.

World of Warcraft meets Die Hard in this standalone LitRPG adventure!

excelent story, possibly a unique style, and the audio really benefits from the range of narration.

A fantastic take on the litrpg genre, different and refreshing, a joy to listen to from start to finish.

An excellent surprise

All too often in these sorts of stories the main character ignores the crafting/profession elements of the game they are in as a distraction for their questing/levelling or the author does as a distraction from the plot, but this went the other way. The main character chose a class that is mostly ignored by others as worthless or no fun and found a way to make it work. It was fun to read how he crafted his way out of or around problems and made for a refreshing change.
There were all the elements you expect in a LitRPG story, with stats, character sheets and quests but without going over the top. The writing style was relaxed and reading it flowed easily, drawing me into the story until I frequently realised I had been reading far longer than I had intended!
Here's hoping for a sequel about the further exploits of Zoran...
The performances were excellent imbuing the dialog with real emotion that can sometimes not come across all that well when reading. The narration was crisp and clear, summarising stats etc for some of the game elements that people can sometimes complain about in LitRPG audible stories.
Highly recommend

I love all Michael r miller books except maybe the first part of the dragons trilogy but even then that grew on me with time. A great read in the LITRPG/MMORPG style 👍

Brilliant
