About this listen

With less than a month left to prepare the Earth for what is about to happen, Silas must pull out all the stops to save as many people as possible.

Of course, if one system wasn't bad enough, Earth has been declared a contested world. Now, it isn't just the Earth competing any longer but at least two systems trying to gain control of the Earth.

Absolutely Stunning

I’ve read a few of these System style lit rpg’s now and this series has some of the most game-like yet awesome skills. It’s also not just vertical power progression, with some great horizontal or mental/evolution elements. It’s good to see Silas being big dog and taking no scrap. Also great that most is set on Earth. It’s interesting to see how the author navigated the different nations, cultures, religions and beliefs on the planet and in relation to the Induction. Most importantly, no pussy-footing around the ones that are just incompatible to virtually everything else/dangerous to human well-being and Silas just delivering them to early graves. But mostly, I just think the Skill system is awesome and the best I’ve seen yet.

I'm just sad that we have to wait until May to listen to the next story.... Podium if you're reading this please release it earlier and if you're reading this after May lucky you.

loved it, nice flow and progression, tied up a few loose ends and moved the story along nicely, love the stat dump having its own chapter.

another great step

As with all of Sean's other works in the series, there is always great storytelling, Character depth, and Character development, but it never feels strained or too in-depth.

I love that the stat sheets are separated from the prior Chapter also, I enjoy the details but I could see how it could not be for everyone.

Great storytelling, Character depth, and Character development.
