About this listen

Avo was born to destroy New Vultun. In a twist of fate, he'll become its only hope for salvation.

The gods were the enemy. The slaver. The chains.

With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to become more—to ascend.

Instead, they nearly destroyed the world.

Vast hive cities serve as the final bastions against the crumbling of reality. New Vultun is the greatest of them all, and within its borders, ascenders wage war to determine the laws of existence itself.

The world descends ever deeper into ruination.

Avo was born a weapon, a slave to his instincts and his masters. He and his brothers were made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when Avo gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy.

He must ascend the megacity of New Vultun.

He must challenge the very tyrants that usurped the gods.

He must finally free the world from chains.

Creative, disturbing, fantastic.

While this is clearly only the beginning of a much larger story, what is presented in book 1 is likely enough to pull anyone along for the ride.

Easily my favourite cyberpunk setting

great lore, plot kind of got in the way, very straightforward arc, but the lore is fantastic. Would do better as a graphic novel.

Amazing Lore

I purchased this book originally to tide me over until I found a new series that I liked. However this book drew me in right away with how different it was. I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t read it. But if you like cyberpunk it is definitely worth it.

I was also quite shocked with the vocabulary used to describe points within the book. The authors use of descriptive language techniques paired well with the narrator who also did an amazing job.

The characters moral dilemmas and ethical quotes used within the book was also a nice touch. The fact the author sounds like an old British guy helped make it stick in my opinion.

All and all, well worth the read.

Surprisingly Really Good.
