There’s always somewhere to go, someone to defeat! At least that’s what Ryan believed until he ran out of challenges, adventures, and stories. Bored with his life as a casual player, he slipped easily into the lifestyle of a professional gamer.

After reaching the pinnacle of success, an email arrived from the mysterious Beta Academy. With his best friend and self-proclaimed bodyguard, Dimitri, he decides to take a chance and accept the strange offer contained within. Overconfident in his skills, Ryan thinks he’ll defeat this game as easily as every other, but that confidence is shaken and shattered within the first 15 minutes. This wasn’t a standard game with haptic chairs or gloves; this was the real thing.

Ryan and Dimitri must learn the heights of the Peaks of Power...and what it will take to achieve their summit.

This is a re-release of Peaks of Power with improved editing, new cover art, and even more snarky dialogue!

I enjoyed this 1st book, it's quite gritty with 2 main characters, the concept is pretty good as is the delivery. the narration is really good, bringing the characters to life nicely.
the whole story is good and well worth checking out.

A good start.

Really liked this book. The Story ist a little bit Like the early Dragon ball, where Son Goku and his Friends are Training for the ultimate Tournament. Just a little bit more for a mature audience. The bromance and quipping between the Main characters ist really fun listen to.
Give it a try!

I love this book. the references made throughout the story are awesome. I felt all the emotions of this book so clearly.

The story builts up and has several pivotal moments. I did wonder a bit about a gamer not knowing about mana en the effects of wisdom etc. also the book forgets about the leveling and points at the end but because of the speed in the story I just realised this now while typing the review.

The naration was well suited for this book. I really liked the raspyness of the voice and thought it matched the story very well.

I would recommend this book of you dont need romance but love a good bromance.

The opening for this book is a slightly tricky one, the main character does not start out as at all likeable and thus is it is a little more difficult for the listener to be drawn into the book due to that, but it does give the author an interesting arc to work with throughout this book as we follow the main character's redemption.

While Ryan and his best friend Dmitri form a strong central dynamic that helps to carry this book, Ryan's starting point is such you do have to wonder why his friend would stick by him for so long prior to their starting this game. One thing that the book doesn't really get across is the sense of the real world and the amount of people that are supposedly watching these gamers playing this game.

The narration of this book was good overall with the narrator giving a suitably distinctive tones for the varied cast.

Overall, a good opening to this series if you can get past the slow start caused by the unlikable nature of the main character at the start of it.
