Ben and his wife, Sarah, had a front-row seat for the apocalypse. Unfortunately, they were from different sides of the country. Separated by a ravaging virus, the couple finds themselves struggling to reunite during a time that feels like the end of days. While Ben sat in his secluded upscale riverside house, infected people ravaged the countryside. The Plan was simple. If either of them ever got separated, they would make their way home.

Reviewed: 12-02-23
I am not normally a zombie-story reader, but i've read some of Justin Leslie's work and enjoyed it that when he offered a code for the book i jumped on it.
i was NOT disappointed,
Ben has been, in one way or another sticking his head underground for a good while.
Yes - He is well prepared and equipped but going out he finds out not everything goes according to the plan.
i kept staying the car listening for good while after i reached my destination just to get a bit more
narration was good!
i would definitely recommend this book/series

Ben Dailey's Viper Company has one motto: Play hard and fight even harder. The crew is comprised of some of the most elite fighters in the Fleet, though occasionally overconfident and, some might say, obnoxious. So when Dailey is handed down a mysterious, high-security mission that's ostensibly a search-and-rescue for his once-upon-a-time academy rival turned brother in arms, he's convinced there's more to the job than meets the eye. Soon, the USF Murphy is on its way to the edge of the Void to track down what happened to Capt. Rick Bearing and the Asher-5.

Space! Action! Humor! and awesome narrator!
Reviewed: 12-01-23
First book in series and I already cant wait wait for the next, the 12 hours went by waay faster than i thought possible
Worldbuilding has a great pace giving you story and information as you go without feeling like huge future info dump.
Great interactions and varied characters, you'll end up laughing at inside jokes with the people telling them,.
It's hard to pick a favorite character (At least for me), I just couldn't stop listening!
if you enjoy sci-fi, space action & humor you'll definitely enjoy this book!
Luke Daniels does great work bringing the words to life.

From the very first hour Cayden had set foot inside the massive, real-life game that was the Tower of Babel, nothing had gone according to plan. A unique skill, a handful of new friends, and the wrath of an ultra-wealthy, patricidal lunatic were just some of the complications to his best laid plans.
So why was he even surprised when a special event trapped him, his companions, and dozens of other players inside the tower, squaring them off against a murderous army of stone-faced warriors?

Half a book...
Reviewed: 10-10-21
The book seem to end at the middle.
The first book was enjoyable even though it had many holes and oddities... This however will be the last book in the series that I try.
Book starts a story and barely gets to the middle (or not even that) before ending.
The part that does start is takes away from the interest the first book replacing with progress unrelated to the characters.
Atleast the narrator does a good job

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old, he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.

Struggle to get through
Reviewed: 06-15-20
This story needs to be cut by 75%... There's good story hidden behind descriptions so long you'll forget what or who they were about.
The amount of "oh get on with it" per minute is staggering and it was a real struggle to finish... I do regret starting it in the first place.
The narrator does a good job. But it's not enough to save the story

A man broken by despair and depression, Grant Legate finds himself in a once-in-a-lifetime situation after receiving an Ultimate Edition copy of Continue Online. All he wishes for is a distraction from the thoughts plaguing his waking hours. He dives in headfirst, unknowing of the AI's intentions. They offer him the chance to play as one of their own, a NPC deserving of a proper send off. What he discovers during the journey shakes Grant to his very core.

2 Stories in 1, Unexpected and Captivating!
Reviewed: 06-25-19
It was not what i was expecting and it sucked me in.
Grant Legate's story unfolds, part by part, as he lives his mundane & boring life of avoiding living by workaholicism.
Things change for Grant when he's forced to take time off to 'enjoy his prize' and play 'Continue Online' - something he avoided getting for himself.
Bit by bit we get to know him, his history and from that to somehow understand his actions, pain and why he needs to succeed in the mission presented to him.
And then there's Carver - an NPC whom Grant is temporarily playing, with his own rich history and life which will bring a smile and crankiness into your life.
The virtual reality world he enters might be a game, yet it brings the question(to me) of at what point does a virtual world could turn into a real world, and if the UI would not be there - could we tell the difference?
I've really enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.
--- Minor spoiler
Grant Legate takes on the role because he is offered information if successful, like a cheese crumb for a mouse, but i'll be honest - i've forgotten if/what he gets at the end -> because i'm still focused on the journey.
Heck, i'm going to read & listen to it again before i go to the next one.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake. But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

Fun side tale
Reviewed: 06-25-19
I'll start with: if you enjoyed the Arcane Ascension books - you'l enjoy this one.
Nick Podehl is a magnificent narrator - and he does not fail (i previously started books solely based on him narrating them)
The story Keras Selyrian tells us in this book will feels similar to the way we hear of Corin Cadence story in the Arcane Ascension books and while i enjoyed it, it felt to sometime border on them merging in my imagination.
overall the book opens more questions, answers very little... and i want more

Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

Action packed finale to layla's story
Reviewed: 11-12-18
Enjoyable book, layla's story goes on with all the whacky friends and puns.
obviously Remy is still the hero... because... Remy..
we get some of mordred's point of view in addition, my only complaint would be wanting a different narrator for his voice.
There's even a dragon or 2!
start with Hellequin, continue to Avalon Chronicles... and now bite your nails while we wait for the next book.
