Publisher's summary

Even as the world burns, the game is everything....

When a wave of monsters attack the town of Bell Park, Eddie Rush has no idea the invasion is an introduction to a new interactive experience.

Crimson Gauntlet Online wasn’t supposed to go live for weeks. But for Eddie and his group of gamer friends, the chilling realization dawns on them that the promised game is responsible for the spreading destruction and death.

If Eddie wants to survive, he’ll need to learn the rules, and fast. Because Crimson Gauntlet isn’t taking prisoners.

Full of action, dark humor, and mystery, Crimson Gauntlet is perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Ready Player One, and Robopocalypse.

From the award-winning author of Shadows of Mars and The Seraph Engine.

Discover a new favorite series in this post-apocalyptic LitRPG adventure.

A somewhat different LitRPG experience

First, the narrator did a fabulous job here. I found the way Jonathan Waters did different voices and in-game notifications was great for being able to discern when different things were happening in the story.

The story starts as a slightly different take on LitRPG. Instead of being thrown into a world like an Isekai story or some of the other common tropes, this one brings the world to the players. The classes and skills were a bit light on the details, but that might suit some readers more as it kept the action moving.

Adler does stick the landing on this one, as the very end had me quite interested in finding out where the plot will go next. I recommend the book for fans of LitRPG and apocalyptic sci-fi.

Great listen

Wow. This book takes the gameing genre to a whole new level. I have listened to lots of books about gamers being sucked into alternate worlds. This goes above and beyond. Great narrator. Can’t wait for the sequel.
