About this listen

They shouldn't have pissed off a virtual world top player by erasing his character for a highly questionable "violation of game rules"—and taking away his valuable in-game possessions. After returning to the virtual world under a different nickname, an unknown newb puts everything on the line by selecting the most difficult Hardcore mode: a single life that's so easy to lose in the dangerous game world.

In search of his former character's treasures, the newb breaks old stereotypes to become the sandbox terror, punishing everyone: those who banned him, monsters, rivals, enemy players, and anyone else who happens to get into his sharp-clawed paws!

Does not disappoint

Having read all of the author’s books I’ve come to understand that he holds himself to a high standard of storytelling. His worlds are rich, his plots are engaging and his characters are well thought out and believable.
I can not wait for book two

Two voices make it better

This is a case of needing 2 narrators to make things. Is this book better? The problem with this is but having won it just causes problems. It is a good story. Has some promising beginnings to this saga? Though I do, we've set points, it would have been flushed out. A bit more, but it is what it is.This is something you can lay back at by the pool and read
