About this listen
Transported to an alien world, a young soldier and his family are forced into servitude and must fight for survival, in this action-packed SF adventure.
Shad Williams joined the army to fight for his country, not to fight aliens. But when he's abducted through a portal along with his terminally ill grandfather and kid sister, that's exactly what he finds himself doing.
Now, deep below the surface of the planet Ganymede, they find themselves with other equally confused groups of humans drafted into serving under extraterrestrials battling for control over the Reality Engine, an advanced supercomputer capable of producing miraculous resources and technologies. Forced to undertake quests to survive, Shad's family encounters odd pairings of monstrous creatures and dangerous people ripped from Earthly mythology, history, and pop culture. With every victory, they level up superhuman skills and magical abilities beyond imagination. Classified as a Gunslinger, Shad's quick reflexes and dead-shot accuracy make him a warrior without peer.
But as Shad's family makes their way through voodoo zombies, dinosaurs, and Al Capone's gangsters on one deadly mission after another, their real enemy continues to exploit them. To save his loved ones—and all of humanity—Shad must band with his fellow kidnapped Earthlings to take the fight to their alien captors and seize the Reality Engine for themselves . . .
The first volume of the hit sci-fi LitRPG series—with over 500,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Story
When Mira’s home is destroyed by gods, she makes two requests to the System that sends her to another world: to be sent to an isolated forest where she can avoid the violent path to godhood, and to gain magic that helps her live and thrive in the forest. She is granted both, though in the harshest way possible. The System strands her in a dangerous forest where half the plants are poisonous, the rivers teem with souls, and even the smallest beasts lay waste to experienced adventurers.

Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run the occasional errand for his various summoners. At least when each summoning is over, he’s rewarded and sent back home. But being back home has its own set of problems, and he'll need to grow stronger to face it all.

But on Earth, Alan is minding his own business after a boring double-shift at the pawn shop… until he’s assaulted by a screaming archer who turns out to be a good shot. Alan awakes in Strangey Town, a zany nightmarish jungle of ideas run by a horrid deity. Things get even stranger when a clairvoyant frog confirms Alan has an affinity for magic, and that his powers are far from ordinary. He can convene with gods, bargain for souls, and tap into every known magic the universe has to offer. It's unheard of!

Trapped at the top, Lucas and the other residents have just one year to reach the ground floor and escape before the tower self-destructs. That’s his first problem. The second is he slept through the System’s welcome orientation, so a Class was picked for him. Lucas is now a Blood Reaver. A brutal Class based on speed, ferocity, and striking from the shadows.

Qing Baker thought he had problems. A dead-end job, mounting bills, and a sick younger sister. Then he wakes up in a world where magic is real, monsters are hungry, and the only way home is to level up. Thrust into Elrydisan, a realm of swords and sorcery, Qing must quickly adapt to his new reality. No tutorials. No respawns. Every fight is a struggle for survival, and death is a one-way ticket to becoming the enemy.

Hi, my name's Max and I'm one of the Selected. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth?

Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."

Really Enjoyed This Book
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A lot of the MC’s inner monologue was overwrought and cringy. There were a plethora of missed opportunities and missteps with the game mechanics, and the world building was very myopic in its detail. The plot was interesting and engaging but the overall story arch had some holes and could have done with a more deliberate structure.
As for the narration, it was above average, though if you’re like me and don’t like narrators who over-express the dramatic descriptions and MC angst then you will find some of it to be a little annoying. I’m sure plenty of listeners won’t even notice it judging by how many people think Daniel Wisniewski is not a ruiner of every audiobook that he has ever narrated.
On the whole I would recommend this if you’re in the same spot as I am, and you have already listened to every single GameLit audiobook on Audible (that was written by an author who’s level of intellectual and sexual maturity has made it past junior high school anyway). This isn’t the book I would hand to someone who has never read LitRPG/Gamelit before, but it does fine when your only other options are audiobooks with covers that are dominated by cartoon boobies.
Not bad. Though the title seems unintentionally ironic.
