Dear Listener,

What is the best part of being an author?
"Becoming an author has been an insane ride. When I was working 130+ hours a week as a resident, it never occurred to me that I would ever devote myself to anything other than medicine. However, expressing my creativity while connecting with amazing people around the world has turned out to be the greatest joy of my life. I find resonance in breathing life into characters, so much so that they begin to feel like real people to me. When I wrote my first book, I never expected anyone to ever read it. To my surprise and delight, through my writing, I have found a meaning in my own life and a connection to so many wonderful men and women around the world. I'm the luckiest guy I know. "– Aleron Kong, writer of Alpha

Beautifully written

I actually enjoyed this book more then the first one in the land the problem is that it’s to short for my taste we waited years for another kong book to be released for it to be this short. Spoiler warning I didn’t like the fact that soon as he got out the hospital the book was pretty much done and almost a hour of the book is two chapters of the land the first book. You could of made this a cool 20 hour book would of been wonderful that would of gave me enough going threw the first dungeon that would been a good end point especially since kong hasn’t put anything out for like 5 years that’s the only down side about this book I was thinking it would take me at least a few days to finish but it only took one which doesn’t correlate with how long it took him to release a new book which is the only disappointment I have

Welcome back Dr. Kong!

Genuinely enjoyed the first iteration of this series. Great storytelling and pacing. Funny as hell. Somehow nailed my style of humor 100%. Pavi nailed the narration, as always. Will recommend to others!

Good potential for growth and development

I have been a Land fan for years and enjoyed this book. I usually don’t spend a credit for anything under 20 hours but made an exception for this one. The perspective and speed of the story are very different from any of the Land books and closer to the gods eye series in my opinion. After I got done with the book, and having previously done multiple rereads of all previous books, I felt like this was a good time to introduce this series and character to the Labyrinth universe for potential future connections between all three series. Which absolutely excites me and makes me eager for more Kong books. If you are a diehard land audible listener you will not be disappointed with the different narrator! Pavi did an awesome job!

Glad there is new content

It’s off to a good start. A New World seems interesting with new systems in place. Only real complaints I have is I wish the book was longer as it didn’t seem to get a lot got done. Besides world set up. I wish all audio books were like 25-30 hours long. Look forward Alpha2, book 9 of the Land, and God’s eye2

Good, but Lots of Build Up

As always his writing style is always enjoyable. He has a gift. This being the first in a new series he does alot of ground work, and while I enjoyed it all I will admit it dragged a bit in the middle. I think it was nessisary but it was slow. So I do recommend but just be aware that there will be alot of talk about stats and the narrative itself moves slowly.

Fantastic start to a new series!

I really enjoyed this one! It's great to see Aleron is back at it, and his writing has only gotten better and better! Amazing system set up, love the MC, excited to see where this goes! I love that with the AKU we get a full picture, such a great experience! Pavi was a fantastic pic, great voices and pacing!
