About this listen

Carter Ash wakes up with no memories in a virtual basic training. All the recruits will die within the next six weeks. Lucky for them, they’ve all got three lives.

He’s assigned to a squad with his goofy friend and another captivating cadet, Iris. They have to keep each other alive as long as possible because when they die, they get assigned their permanent character class. And everyone in the squad wants a valuable class, ideally the kind where you don’t get killed immediately.

Boot camp is just the start, because around the corner is a terrifying galaxy-wide war filled with dangerous and sultry aliens. Carter must figure out how to survive and thrive in the War Game.

The War Game: Basic Training is a LitRPG novel for discerning adults, featuring unconventional relationships.

Awesome

Yeah I couldn't stop listening to this and now I'm definitely a fan of the author, honestly my only complaint would be how little spice there was but I get why that is but I hope there's way more on book two. the narration was amazing!

Yeah that was pretty good

I’m interested to see this game beyond the actual tutorial. A little starship troopers movie vibes crammed into a litrpg genre, and we have an interesting mix. Jus don’t be too shy with the pace I hope it picks up more in the sequels

not bad for a weekend listen.

I don't do many reviews, always have trouble you're out what to say most of the time. I will say this is a good book, it has a starship trooper vibe to it, without actually copying the whole formula. it is worth a credit, especially if you're just looking for something light to listen to and they give you a little bit of a laugh.

Excellent adventure, exciting, well written

This is an excellent story and the narration is first class. The hero isn't over powered and is extremely relatable.

character development

I really enjoyed the character development and pacing. it is derivative of some other books and movies but not in an overt or heavy handed way. all in all well done

Who’s been keeping this hidden!

Holy sh** Batman!! This was an absolute f****** banger! I picked this up on a recommendation from Reddit. I wasn’t prepared for how good it was.
