About this listen

Jonathan Slate, former Marine infantry officer and the Governor of Texas, has just won his bid for the presidency. When an assassin's bullet takes his life during his victory speech, he is conscripted from the afterlife by the Lord of Light, Lucidus.

Slate is thrust into the game-like world of Somnium where he has been reincarnated into the body of a parasite and given one mission: evolve or die.

If he can channel the monster inside and utilize his military and political experience to establish Lucidus' personal army, the Scourge, he might have a chance to evolve before his many enemies find him and send him to a permanent death.

I enjoyed this book, especially the bugging as it follows our main character on a journey into his new world.

I'd love to rate this book higher, as it started of really strong. But after around the half way point the book felt really rushed and details began to lacking.

But voice actors performed exceptionally. Giving each character a distinctive personality. However the editors dropped the bar and multiple mistakes came through post editing.

All in all, a worthwhile read with an interesting plot and a good twist on an RPG experience.

An excellent story but feels rushed near the end.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
