Publisher's summary

October, 2042.

Three days ago, Jack Mitchel saved his life. By dying.

He dodged a world-ending bullet - in the form of an extinction-level asteroid, cannonballing toward Earth - by successfully uploading his mind into the brand new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG - Viridian Gate Online. Unfortunately, he's also stumbled headlong into a secret conspiracy that will transform V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age.

Jack expected to live out his new fantasy life in peace, but now he and his misfit crew of rebels are the only ones preventing a tyrant emperor and his regime from taking power. Thankfully, everything isn't quite as hopeless as it seems - Jack has a plan. Sort of. With only a handful of supporters, he's going to get the jump on the bloodthirsty empire, by snatching one of their key cities right from underneath their noses. In order to pull off the impossible, however, Jack's going to have to develop his formidable Shadowmancer powers, raid some ridiculous dungeons, and make some shady allies - allies who may be more dangerous than the empire itself.

Crimson Alliance didn't let me down!

Crimson Alliance: Book 2 in this series, didn't let me down! I virtually jumped from the first book (Cataclysm), right into Crimson Alliance!
It's hard to believe that only 3 days have elapsed since Grim-Jack first entered the VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online, even beating the odds by actually surviving his own IRL Death, while being inside this very realistic digital game! And because the game servers are extremely deep underground, the game itself was protected from that life-ending metor strike!
Grim-Jack definitely has his work cut out for him, since learning about a secret, evil cabal, whose goal is to turn this gaming world into their own private, despotic playground, while throwing the rest of the inhabitants, players and NPC's alike, into chaotic feudalism. Grim-Jack's willing to try anything to stop this from happening! He's already made one mortal enemy (Carrera: see bk1), a (IRL) drug lord of a Powerful cartel! With Grim-Jack's life on the line, he's gonna have to think outside the box, and come up with allies where there seemingly aren't any! So to start, Grim-Jack, along with his buddy, Cutter, and a handful of friends, have to set about building up their own faction, really quick, before Carrera has a chance to find 'em!
Wanna know what happens next? Wanna fight tyranny with Grim-Jack and crew? Well... go grab the audiobook it's currently available for free with your Audible plus membership!
And in case you're wondering Armen Taylor's narration is wonderful!

Not bad

Not bad story… but really? I could see where this was going for miles ahead. Just the details were unclear.

Very nice!

What a great story. I'm not a huge fan of the narrators impression of yelling as it is only a loud whisper. Otherwise he does well and it is enjoyable.

Good second book

Continuing from the first book, Grimjack and his motley crew of colorful characters go on another action packed and intriguing step on this journey into this VR world. Won't be a jerk and spoil anything but the ending definitely made the story worth it. There's a lot of moments that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

The series is still going strong.

The ending of the book explains the reason why certain action took place was a sound and logical reason. Kind of made me think the main character is a tad bit behind schedule. I kind of wished there was more than just 3.2 millions of people in the game.

Awesome!!!

I love the game stats, not over the top and they don’t interrupt the story.
Fantastic narration. He has all tpyes voices and accents.
Minimal descriptively gross violence.
