About this listen

Contains all five books in the Station Cores series:

  • The Station Core - Book 1
  • The Quizard Mountains - Book 2
  • The Guardian Guild - Book 3
  • The Kingdom Rises - Book 4
  • The Other Core - Book 5

In addition, there are some bonuses:

  • Hand-drawn maps (admittedly done by me without much artistic talent) that I used to help me write the series
  • A fun 12,000-word short story that combines the Dungeon World and Station Cores universes.

Milton Frederick was originally abducted from his apartment to help defend one batch of pacifistic aliens called The Collective against another set of homicidal aliens called Heliothropes...but he never quite made it that far. Instead, during the process where his human consciousness was ripped from his body and inserted into a massive metal contraption called a Station Core, the ship that he was being transported on blew up and he was sent hurtling through space.

Crash-landing on an unknown planet with just a foot-and-a-half tall, foul-mouthed, nanite-formed AI guide called ALANNA to tell him what happened, Milton has to come to terms with his new existence as a giant metal egg, defend his hazardously-in-need-of-repair outer shell from the dangerous local wildlife (including blood-thirsty squirrels), and manage the unique radiation spewing from his damaged internal reactor - all while figuring out how the heck to get off the planet.

All of his work building a “dungeon” underground, defending it with makeshift traps, and filling it with small Combat Units may work well enough against the random beasts wandering around, but they’re next to useless when something else even more dangerous shows up knocking on his door: people. Not humans, of course, but the local equivalent - Proctans - who are similar enough to Milton’s original species...though with one major difference.

They all have unique special abilities that looks suspiciously like “magic”.

However, there is an even bigger threat that looms on the horizon not only for Milton, but all the Proctans as well....

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Need a Different Way to Read Stats but Make More

The only complaint I have which is slightly nullified to a disclaimer at the start is the stats. I think some of the other reviews are a bit harsh when you literally have disclaimers and even say feel free to skip. Something I know quite a bit about from peoples comments in yt let's plays I make where you say your playing blind, blind is in the title then people cry that your not a master at the game. It's like you need to personally show up to their house and be like hey bud, blind means look elsey if you don't like seeing a nooby tripping over their own feet. Anyway, for future ones I'd say it might be better to designate sections of the book, maybe dice it up into quarters and have a big stat reading then. That way if you want to skip it would be easier to do so. It happening every time a random person levels up or beast is acquired and it goes through all the beasts again is a bit jarring. Over all I'm a sucker for any stories and this was a pretty neat surprise as it's a new genre for me. I might look into more core books but being able to listen to this 5 book epic over 3-4 days at work was a treat. Please consider making more compilations available or grouping them up as doubles would be nice since spending $12 on a audiobook that doesn't even fill my work day would be hard for me to do. Also please consider continuing this series in the future, you have a pretty unique point to continue from and I'm sure *spoilers* there is a universe of opportunities for Milton and his children to get themselves in trouble but in space this time.

Great story

I really enjoyed this series and it was a great value, to warn the casual listener there is a lot of stat pages but they are thier own chapters and the story is written in a way that they are not needed at all. That being said, it was great I really enjoyed it, can’t wait to read the rest of his books.

Fantastic Series

This was a fantastic series. The action was good, the stats were interesting (and very easily skippable if you didn't want to hear them), the characters were interesting in their own way, the LitRPG element was good, and the premise was believable,

Too many stat chapters

I'm generally ok with crunchy (stat heavy) LitRPG but this author takes it way too far. At least he put most of them in separate chapters. It was irritating to constantly have to unlocked my phone and skip chapters though. At least 1 in 3 chapters were stats that would then be recapped in the next chapter. Please do us all a favor; leave the recap and remove the stat chapters. The writing is good. Definitely B+ or A- material. I'd rate the narrator a solid B. He had some strange pronunciation sometimes but he did different voices for each character and his pacing was good. The compilation was a great value for 1 credit. I wish more authors would make compilations. This is a solid 30 hours of content once you skip the stat chapters and well worth the credit.

Awesome- but literally broke the word ‘literally’

Great story, fantastic narration. Really fun piece of RPGlit. But I think the author used up his lifetime supply of the word‘literally’. I know peeps use the word liberally (and incorrectly IMO) as an intensifier these days. But good grief it got grating. Started to wince when it came up. Probably says more about me than him, but a better editor or style guide needed. Regardless, loved the whole series!

Good story but..

I enjoyed the story the only downside as other reviews said was there's way to much stats about an hours and half worth. HOWEVER all said stats are separated by chapters so it makes it easy to skip them and it won't hurt your progress though the story.

Inescapable stats being read directly into your skull

The author claims, “Oh don’t worry, if you don’t like the stats you can skip them”, and then goes about making HUNDREDS of the little stat chapters just to make skipping one completely futile. Unless you’re staring directly at your device the entire time you’re listening, ready to press skip every 2.5 minutes, this can drive you insane. It’s a shame, because the story is pretty good. Normally I’d rate something this outrageously painful to listen to as 1 star, but the good story craftily hidden in between the unending encyclopedia of stats bumps it up.

Stat heavy and good story

Slower start and start heavy. I skip the stats and enjoyed it so far.

always a good read, listen

Even though Jonathan Brooks is a stat happy guy always look forward to read, listen to the books that he puts out this compilation of one through five other than a hour-long extra at the end of the book is still the original one through five but always willing to give a little money to where and who deserves it also when authors make these compilation books it's always nice to not have to switch between books every eight to 12 hours especially when I drive haul truck in a mine, MSHA area and picking up my phone and switching over a book is a construction hazard
As always five stars Mr Brooks keep it up I'll keep buying
