About this listen

The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the number one New York Times best-selling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero - stranded in the world of Minecraft - who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive.

Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn't much time to soak up the sun. It's getting dark, and there's a strange new world to explore!

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island...like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

In this world, the rules don't always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.

Two editions, two narrators, one thrilling story. Enjoy this version read by Samira Wiley, and then be sure to check out the other available version narrated by Jack Black.©2017 Max Brooks (P)2017 Random House Audio

Fantastic story!

Novel stayed faithful to the game while being entertaining at the same time. The narrator, Samira Wiley, did an amazing job of bringing the story to life and giving it a life of its own.

My first Minecraft story!

This was the first Minecraft story I was introduced to. I've played the game and I've watched videos, but this was the first literary work I've experienced from Minecraft. I liked the story and listened to the Jack Black Narration. As well as the Samira Wiley version. I honestly love them both. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes Minecraft and is unsure about it's reading material.

A great narration

the narration and music paints a movie in my mind. It made me have thoughts I never had when playing the game like how it would be if I was there. never thinking of how there would be smells and tastes. its definitly a great listen even to non-players. im glad this was my first audiobook thanks to audible.

Exactly what it says on the Tin

Nothing in this book is groundbreaking or amazing or life altering. It literally is what ut says it is... a game of Minecraft written down. that said, it delivers on this premise very well. As a fan of the game, I appteciated that it didn't try to make the world rules make sense, or try to turn it into something realistic. Or even try to give the game a backstory. The narrator's performance was perfect. I felt her stress, and her pain and her victories. I felt her connection to Moo the Cow, too. over all, well done. i probably wouldn't recomend this to people who are not fans of or interested in learning more about the game, but for those that are, I highly recommend it.

Awesome

This book is not what it seems it’s not like Minecraft to have so much detail and so much ummmm I don’t know how to discribe it but it’s the most mind blowing book I’ve ever listened to or read ever. this book… it got me shaking on the edge of my seat or so many times just sitting on my bed but you get it. so amazing because the next second I’m child by it but the whole time I’m just waiting for something new to hapin this book could top any other book with ease. I just take one look at another book and I know the clear choice it’s this book it’s the book that got me in to Minecraft books in the first place but the greatest of all I saved fore last Samira Wiley did a stunning job narrating this book so special shout-out to her for that and I’m using a different account so I’m not Jennifer carry I’m doubledog215 from YouTube

I was not expecting this!

The story was great and entertaining on so many levels!
Samira Wiley really paints a pic in your mind, I felt that I new moo and I felt the frustration and happiness! I feel like the other Minecraft books are all over the place for instance Minecraft the Crash
never painted a pic in my mind like this one.I’ve literally listened to it hundred times and never got bored so keep it up audible and don’t disappoint us!
