About this listen
Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill. Ridiculed and bullied by his classmates for being weak, he soon finds himself in despair. Will he be able to survive in this dangerous world of monsters and demons with only a glorified blacksmith's level of strength?

Sagara Sousuke isn't your typical high school student. He reads military enthusiast magazines; he responds to questions with "affirmative;" he brings grenades to school in his bag. Though everyone at school takes him for a hopeless military geek, Chidori Kaname thinks there might be something more to him. When their plane is hijacked in the middle of a field trip, Kaname's instincts will prove correct: Sousuke is an elite, mech-piloting mercenary... and he's here to protect her!

From his deathbed, Hero-King Inglis, the divine knight and master of all he surveys, gazes down on the empire he built with his mighty hand. Having devoted his life to statecraft and his subjects' well-being, his one unfulfilled wish is to live again, for himself this time: a warrior's life he'd devoted himself to before his rise to power. His patron goddess, Alistia, hears his plea and smiles upon him, flinging his soul into the far future.

Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Great light novel series
I’ve enjoyed this light novel many times and was excited to see it as a audio book. If there is one thing to improve is have male voice actor handle the male parts and the female voice actor handle the female parts instead of having it split the book in half for one then the other it would improve the immersion and overall quality definitely buying the rest in this series as it my favorite series. Looking forward to seeing them released

If you liked the anime...
... you'll like this book. Minor spoilers but if you watched the anime you'll already know the story anyway. This novel starts before the anime series in the classroom before they become isakai-ed. Hajime's journey through the labyrinth is longer and more involved than shown in the show. This book covers the first 5 episodes of the anime in greater detail than could be shown. like I said if you like the anime you'll like this book.

F'in' fantastic
The book is absolutely better than the anime.
I gave a 4 on performance, due to two different narrators. Both voice actors/narrators are amazing, but it would have been better for: male for male characters, beasts/monsters, and female for female characters and narrative. It was kinda humorous when she enacted the behemoth's roar.
Great production otherwise. Can't wait for the rest!

I love the anime and not only did this not disappoint, but blew my mind in the way it expanded the universe, characters and story. Matt and Morgan were awesome. My only complaint would be that they didn't do the story together, but nothing in life is perfect.
