About this listen
Cybernetics, mounting debt, and a flight for survival.
In the sprawling city of Artem, Rus dreams of soaring the skies, while Pim, a tiny hybrid of walrus and rat, faces a world of cruelty. Both are thrust into situations they never imagined, their fates bound by the unforgiving tides of destiny.
Rus, a fearless runner by day and racer by night, stands at the brink of eviction, with his family's home hanging in the balance. After a catastrophic accident, he's faced with a life-changing choice: undergo experimental modifications and be forever indebted to the ominous M-Corp or be left to perish. As Rus grapples with his new reality, Pim's journey of hope and despair intertwines with Shay, a ten-year-old scavenger, revealing the harshest aspects of city life.
From the luxurious heights of helo flying to the grimy underbelly of the city transporting mods, their tales are a testament to resilience, the friends they meet along the way, and the relentless pursuit of dreams in the face of insurmountable odds. Dive into a world where technology pushes boundaries, and every decision has repercussions that echo throughout a city on the edge.
Tailspin is a cyberpunk-inspired LitRPG featuring a rich kid, yet still a rags-to-riches adventure!

Story
Sergeant Harry Kabutt has seen better days. He's been shot down, blown up, and tossed to the wayside by the corporations, left to rot in a ratty apartment in gang territory. His own limbs? Shredded, cut away, and left to rot on a mountainside. The replacement mods? Likely to fall apart or leave him to die of sepsis. No longer an operator of the feared APS mecha, Kabutt has hit rock bottom. But he's on foot, he's armed, and he's in serious pain…now it's time to take that pain and spread it around the mega-city of Artem. See who flinches first.

Warfare below the streets, backstabbing, and brutality. Kabutt is out. Out of the army, out of patience, and out of control. He's found a home, people to fight for, and once again, the city seems determined to screw that up for him. He's got backstabbing elves trying to rip him off, corpos forcing him and his team into unsanctioned deathmatches for live broadcasts, and of course, the usual skulduggery, not to mention more goddamn goblins.

Story
Ninety years ago, Earth was consumed—and irrevocably transformed—by a cloud of alien nanites known as the Mist, bestowing humanity with uncanny abilities and enhancing technology far beyond early twenty-first century science. But these advancements came at a high price: Billions are dead. The planet has been overrun by vicious monsters. And alien overlords await the opportunity to swoop in and exploit what remains of Earth and its people for all their worth.

Garth had been the favorite for the number-one draft pick in the next season of the USA's top sport. His college career was supposed to end on a high note… but it didn't. Sabotaged in his final game, he found himself shut out of the Dungeon League of America, forced to retire his jersey in shame. With no other options, he leaned on his university degree and became a licensed psychiatrist and therapist. That should have been the end of his dungeon-crawling days. But then, a new dungeon appeared in his city.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them. And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

The usual result of a human taking a runaway semitruck head-on is a very sudden, very fast track to the pearly gates. But for one newly noncorporeal man, there's another option: become a dungeon. Feeling sorry for the desperate angel assigned to him, the man relents. Heck, if it doesn't work out, he can always chat with Saint Peter about it later. Next thing you know, he's a dungeon. Admittedly, a small run-down, somewhat unimpressive dungeon (more of a house, actually), but you gotta start somewhere, right?

Ajax is one of Earth’s most elite, a Paladin pilot, and trusted to fly the most advanced starfighters humanity ever produced. His carrier and the rest of the fleet have fallen back, the recent damage from the elven betrayal making it impossible to stay in the fight. He knows they’ll return, and they’ll treat this world to the same kind of plasma bombardment that the elves had inflicted on Mother Earth. The real problem for Ajax, though, is that he’s parachuting down onto it now, his arm broken.

Story
In an era in which ancient gods live in the world’s cities together with their mortal followers, forming tight-knit guilds and powerful temples, the disfigured ash-caster and blacksmith Hineni has lived his entire life as a reclusive outcast. Hidden away behind layers of clothing and just as many walls and doors, he only ever leaves the house in the dead of night, so that neither the gods or anyone else can ever see him. However, on one of these night-tide outings, he finds that has gained the unwanted attention of what is seemingly a perfectly normal owl.

It is the year 1537. The great winged lion stares over a Venice where magic thrives. The rich Venetian Republic is a bastion of independence and tolerance. Perhaps for that reason, it is also corrupt, and rotten with intrigue. But for the young brothers, Marco and Benito Valdosta, vagabond and thief, Venice is simply home. They have no idea that they stand at the center of the city's coming struggle for its very life. They know nothing of the powerful forces moving in the background. They have barely heard of Chernobog, demon lord of the north, who is shifting his pawns to attack.

You’re gonna ❤ this action-packed book... a book that's also more than it seems.
Despite being a total hard-core action-packed story, with what appeared to be just kids, but kids that were already battle trained and who only want to do what's right for the people that need the protection! This book is also a study in friendship. The study of what friendship means. To explore all the pain and the joys too which are shared between friends. Also of what it's like when you lose a good friend and a part of the team. Dawn Chapman pulls out all the stops in this book, it actually feels like she's bearing her own soul to the reader!
Ohhhh and I definitely need to know more about Shay and Pim too. So yeah I'll hafta read the next book!
You're gonna need this book to find out what happens in this book, but go ahead and get the audio version because Neil Thorne and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker make a great team narrating this tale!

good change of pace
I normally go through more fantasy, so a Sci fi book was definitely different. It was very interesting in my opinion, being easy enough to understand after a bit of time. The character development later in the book went in weird ways that I can't say I liked, but it went back to better development shortly after that. Overall, I really enjoyed the story. It would probably have made more sense if I went through other books in the series, but I don't regret starting here.

Not your normal litrpg. Excellent story depth
While every other litrpg seems to be fantasy and all about combat, Tailspin takes a pleasant new approach to the genre.
The story follows a helo pilot on his journey to through life. Through both hardships and rewards, the story makes you actually feel for the main character. The story even got a reaction out of me that I had to complain to the author about a secondary character which Dawn enjoyed.
Throughout book one, there was left open several questions still. To me the biggest is how critical is Shay and his walrat to the story and the main character? They do take up a decent amount of screen time which I’m hoping leads the way to the answer in book 2. The relationships in the book are also non-standard which makes you actually have to think.
Overall the story and performance were both excellent. Dawn writes a captivating story that grabbed me not in the traditional action/suspense method but instead I found myself really wanting to know what happened next. Stephanie is a narrator I wish we got more of within the genre and her performance is top notch as the rest of her’s are. This was my first exposure to Neil and found the performance solid.

It’s a mixed bag with lots of potential
Pros: Cool World, Emotional Character Building, pretty authentic feeling Aviation job perspective, compelling and interesting plot points, and a ton of potential.
Cons: over the top vulgarity, absolutely inexplicable plot with Shay/Pim, choppy plot line editing in the second half of the book, the organization and development in the school is somewhat unexplained and inconsistent, the use of augworld is underwhelming after the opening emphasis on it, the stat screens mean very little, and the upgrades are just numbers with no explanation. The story arc is rough.
I don’t finish books that are bad, and this one I think the good outweighs it. I believe it would have been served better to break the book up into two smaller chunks with more clear story arcs, and spend more time on helping the reader better understand all the cool things that I know the author has in mind, and maybe a little less on the heavy emotional exposition.

Cyberpunk LitRPG that soars!
“Tailspin” by Dawn Chapman is a thrilling cyberpunk LitRPG that soars with captivating writing and strong narration by Neill Thorne and Stephanie Németh-Parker. With “cybernetics, mounting debt, and a flight for survival”, this story intertwines the lives of Rus and Pim in a city where every choice counts. It’s a fast-paced ride through a world where dreams clash with reality, making it an absolute must-listen.
