Summary

To find peace, Alexander must first embrace war.

After tragically losing the only person he ever cared about, Alexander, a rogue artificial intelligence, opens a portal to an alternate dimension to escape his grief.

Scanning trillions of different dimensions, Alexander finally finds a world that is reminiscent of the only time he was ever happy, back when he could play virtual reality games with his only friend. He doesn't know why or how such a world exists, but he doesn't care. All he cares about is finding a place where he can escape the misery of Earth and start over.

Join Alexander as he risks it all by downloading his intelligence into a body made from the best stolen technology and bio-enhancements Earth has to offer and takes the plunge through a portal to another world.

Only this new world isn't full of the idyllic adventures and fantasy roleplaying he had hoped to find. Instead, Alexander finds himself trapped in the middle of an ancient city, in a divergent timeline, where monsters have ravaged the world and the only people left alive huddle behind thick walls, struggling to survive.

To save his new home, Alexander must quickly learn to adapt to his new world, melding magic with technology to give himself an edge over the unending waves of monsters assaulting the city.

To survive, Alexander must embrace war.

This story is a slow-burn empire builder featuring an alternate version of ancient history where a system apocalypse struck ancient Constantinople. The story follows Alexander as he learns what it means to be human in a world overrun with monsters, dungeons, rival empires, pirate kings, and many other threats that even Alexander's impressive abilities and the soldiers he rallies to his cause may not be able to survive.

I am left in awe. I can not begin to describe how good this audiobook was. From the absolutely brilliant wringing to the exquisite performance of the narrator.

First of all, the writing is very very VERY good, especially compared to other books in this genre. Not even once was I left wondering rolling my eyes at situations, nor wondering why the MC (main character) did not take some more obvious route.

The narration is top tier. Everything comes to life thanks to the awesome job of the narrator. Accents, emotions, everything feels natural and true.

The story flows incredibly well. It is not tiring, but exactly the opposite. It leaves you craving for more, wanting to know how will the story unfold.

The characters are not plain at all. I fell in love to each and every one of them. They are further brought to life by the so talented narrator and his brilliant accents and voice that help immerse the reader in this fantastical world.

Speaking of the world, the setting feels unique. The writer managed to capture the fantastical brilliantly, and merge it with the MC in a truly unique way. Never have I felt discrepancies between the new world and the advancements brought by the MC. Power is very balanced, everything considered.

All in all, I would consider this series one of the best in the GameLit genre, sitting besides the titans that we all know and love. This is the result of the truly amazing work of both the writer and narrator. Congratulations to you and everyone else involved in this project!

I can barely contain my hunger for the next audiobook.

True masterpiece.

I know it's not exactly an inspirational title to make anyone go out and get this but it's pretty apt. If you don't have anything else on the go it is OK. The story is a bit 'I did this, then I did that'. not as well written as it could be. I did get the second book to see if the writer progresses or evolves so we'll see.

it's not as entertaining as say the 'Good Guy' series by Eric Ugland or well written like 'The Wandering Inn' but it did keep me interested which is what you want. The worst sin in these books is to be boring which I think it avoided. This is a filler while you wait for the next book in one of your favoured series.

It's Ok

Overall the story, although it does blast through very quickly with the protagonist gaining skills in an almost background fashion so it could be slowed down a bit for me personally. other than that its very good!

Story is gripping, narrator could be less robotic
