Yesterday a wannabe pro-gamer, today an alien admiral.

Evan was desperate to hit the big time playing Star Commander, the world’s most popular real-time strategy game. While Evan works hard to get the pros to notice him, it's very different eyes that are captivated by Evan's progress.

The Kirran Hegemony is at war. Outclassed at every step, the aliens turn to the most warlike race they know - humanity! Abducted from Earth, Evan finds himself fighting for his life, using his skills to command Hegemony forces in desperate battle.

Now, helped by fellow humans, Evan must prove victory can be grasped from the jaws of impossible odds.

I was given a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the story. Nice premise....reminiscent of The Last Starfighter. At times the book was slow, but I understand the need to provide the story for future books.

Overall I recommend the book to Sci-Fi fans.

Overall a Solid Book

The LitRPG genre is pretty ubiquitous, so it was only a matter of time before a LitRTS came about. What's next, a Lit4x? God I hope so.

An RTS as a story is a much more difficult proposition than an RPG, given the lack of a central perspective. Using the trope of an alien force recruiting humans for our martial prowess (using video games as a screening tool) the story quickly moves into build order, micro and macro strategy and base management.

The story never really does anything unexpected, but it was easy to listen to and fun for an RTS fan. The narrator did an excellent job with the story, although he may have played the protagonist as a little too much of a jerk.

Something different, a LitRTS

This is the first RTS Gamelit that I have come across. It definitely gave me flashbacks of play Starcraft back in the day. The characters were fun and the novelty of the book made it very interesting to me. The narration was very well done. It helped bring some life and personality to the characters.

Interesting Gamelit Concept

About the best way I can describe it (see above) a small group of humans have been taken by an ancient alien race. They are getting their butts kicked in a war with an unknown enemy. The wars are fought with drone ships. The human gamers take to the tactics immediately. But can this handful of humans make a difference in a galaxy spanning war that is already half lost? Really well written, lost of action, character development and large group space tactics. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

This was fun from start to finish. Great story with an equally impressive performance. The author does some of the best LitRPG I have heard.

The author's creativity in bridging the characters' proficiency with a video game to control of real forces is what makes it for me. Each battle is explained in such a way that I can imagine that I'm watching a game of Starcraft or similar, and yet there is room for real initiative to be taken by some of the controlled units.

I'd continue, but I would just be gushing. Get the book, thank me later.

Really good litrpg for RTS fans

Overall a good Gamelit Novel space book. A good fun space adventure. The tactics helped to make the book more enjoyable. The MC was not too OP, or overly unrealistic. Plenty of action, and there were reasons for the action in the plot. You did have to suspend your disbelieve at a few points, but over all the plot works.
I highly encourage the author to look into the actual physics of how ships would move in space, and how distance will affect weapons fire due to the speed of light delay. Too many authors neglect this. This book did not have too many holes in this regard, but if the second book has many space battles this could be an issue.

I hope to see what happens in the next book.

Kidnapped to the stars to save world, this story is part last star fighter combined with the It Crowd. Funny and exciting in equal measure, I look forward to a sequel.
