Publisher's Summary

Welcome to the Metaverse!

The year 2065: The streets are abandoned, shops are empty, parks are silent. But is that really much of a surprise when you can connect to the Cybernet?

Everyone can turn on, log in, and drop out.

Cyrus, a failed physicist, and dropout game designer Everett are on the cusp of their big breakthrough into the meta ranks of Neverborn, the world’s most popular game.

But when several high-profile avatars disappear and their human counterparts are found dead, Cyrus and Everett find themselves under suspicion. They must clear their names and unravel the deeper mysteries of Brith and the Neverborn. In doing so, they will uncover a dark secret that threatens not only the game-world, but the safety of their physical realm.

Satire, science fiction, fantasy, and mystery combine in an epic adventure where no one ever leaves home, perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Douglas Adams.

Douglas Adams meets World of Warcraft

This story is the perfect combination of adventure and humour. I started reading this as an ebook, and was thrilled to see that it was being released as an audio. So, I started again. It was such a great decision.

Xander's novel feels like the best kind of combination between Douglas Adams style humour and an MMORPG.

Then, we have the sublime narration of Rob Rackstraw, who brings both the characters and setting to life so perfectly.

If you have an interest in any of those things I mentioned above, do yourself a favour and give META a go. You won't regret it.

Ready Player One meets Hitchhikers Guide

While a simplified analogy, this book is like the lovechild of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Ready Player One, in the best possible ways. I highly recommend this book.
