Publisher's summary

Do you want to avoid perishing in a hail of asteroids? Us too. That’s why we created Astra Epsilon: the perfect escape for your mind, even though your body is about to be destroyed.

As the end of the world rapidly approaches—both figuratively and literally—Astra Epsilon seems to be the last hope humanity has of sidestepping that awkward thing called death.

With only a few weeks to spare, two brothers and a trio of roommates arrive at the local Ascension Port, intent on unloading their minds into the game—rather than waiting idly for their inevitable doom.

The two groups find themselves joined together by random chance to make the obligate team of five. They Ascend, leaving their Earthly bodies behind.

As they awaken, now scattered across a random solar system in their new universe, they begin their first quest: to reunite. However, that task is made significantly harder by the hostile alien race that controls the system in which they spawn.

Beginning at level 1, with equipment that’s more a liability than a help, no knowledge of their new universe’s mechanics, and a Class of Worthless Scrub, can the teammates fight their way toward each other to complete their first quest? Or will it be their last?

Exciting take on a LitRPG

This was a nice start to an exciting story. The multiple characters helps create a new dynamic I haven’t seen in a lot of other books in the genre. I can tell that D&D heavily played a role in this book which was fun to see as a fellow nerd. If you are looking to have new twist on the LitRPG genre I’d check it out!

something about this book just pulls me towards it

I really love the science and back story behind this book. I've read and listened to a lot of books over the last couple of years and I can say that this one is by far the most attention grabbing yet. I promise you won't regret picking this one up.

Exciting Space/Gamer Adventure

This story was extremely well written. The originality was refreshing, with excellent character development. The narrator did an excellent job giving each character their own voice which helped define their personaliyy and improve the story line. The way the story lines came together and weaved the story into one big adventure was very well done. It was a fun and exciting story with some edge of your seat moments. I would definitely recommend his book.

Awesome!!

A genius blend of fantasy adventure and wonderfully nerdy role playing games. Loved every minute of it. Can’t wait for book 2. Highly recommend.
