Meddling gods. A magical card system. An apocalypse no one could have predicted.
Jake is working at the neighborhood market under his apartment when the world ends. He expected nuclear war, a computer virus, or even climate change burning everyone to a crisp to bring about the downfall of civilization. But cruel and arbitrary gods from another world? Who would have guessed that?
When these cruel gods shuffled Earth like a deck of cards, nothing was in the same place anymore. Monsters, dungeons, and magical items appear scattered across the globe. And suddenly, everyone has access to a new, strange magical card system that gives them magical powers.
Jake, wasting his day slacking off in the cooler, as he usually did, found himself alone in a completely new and very dangerous world. Can he learn to survive? Can he collect enough cards and create a good enough deck to fight back against the monsters that have overtaken his former home? And why are these strange people that look a lot like elves knocking on the door of the market he is hiding in and asking to buy some of his goods?
The gods may have stacked the deck against him, but Jake just might have a few cards up his sleeve that will help him survive.

This book is mostly well written and Travis Baldree’s performance is every bit as good as it always is. The reason I can only say that the book is mostly well written is that in general it’s actually really well written, until he decides to make a pivotal shift in the plot. Almost every single time, he does this via a drawn out fight scene in which the MC suddenly turns into the oblivious cheerleader in a 70’s, B Horror movie.
Invariably, the MC starts doing totally irrational things with no explanation from the author that just happen to draw the fight scene out. Most notably he often completely forgets about one or more of his core abilities that could have ended the fight in ten seconds. Sometimes the author acknowledges this but doesn’t adequately explain why the MC would be so unbelievably stupid. More often it’s never explained at all.
This had the affect of me rolling my eyes and yelling at the audiobook in much the same way that we used to yell at the blond cheerleader not to go into the unlit basement to have casual sex while a serial killer is loose in the neighborhood.
It’s especially annoying because the rest of the book is so enjoyable. This is either a major fail on the part of the editor and beta readers or on the part of the author for not listening to his editors and beta readers. Because the problem is glaringly obvious, and it happens repeatedly throughout the book.
In the end this didn’t ruin the book for me, and I do recommend that it’s worth your credit. However I hope that Mr Mathews doesn’t continue to use this cheap plot device in future works. It’s not only beneath him, it’s beneath any reasonably intelligent person, and it’s just lazy.
A great addition to the genre with a few glaring exceptions.
