Summary

Launch day.

That was what they called it. The day when over four million people vanished in an instant from the island of Manhattan. The day earthquakes ravaged the east coast. The day a 101-kilometer tall tower rose from the wreckage of the now empty city. The day every screen, newspaper, and smart phone displayed a single message from an unknown source: The Great Emperor has issued his challenge. From the ruins of the Old World rise the Tower. Its doors will soon open, and the great game will begin. A hundred floors and a hundred challenges await the worthy. And to the victor? A Wish of Unlimited Power.

Cayden Caros yearned to play that game. His only problem? The Terms and Conditions. A strict set of rules that, among other things, prevented anyone under the age of 16 from entering the tower.

Forced to wait for over two years, Cayden did the only thing he could do to pass the time. He researched, he practiced, and he prepared. It would take a lot to catch up to players with such an enormous head start. Lucky for him, he was a special type of gamer.

made it through quickly but not great tbh

managed to make it to the book but the story wasn't cohesive and I felt as if it jumps all over the place. I wasn't sure if it's game or if it was reality.

performance was good but story not so much

A fun journey

Well written for the genre, fun and unique with some twists to catch you off guard.

If you enjoy this genre then you’ll enjoy this book.

Not My Type of Audiobook

If you like books like Game of Thrones you will enjoy this book.

As I am not in to fantasy books I did not enjoy it and will be giving it back.

Seriously? 4mins of just reading out menus

I started enjoying the book until it keeps reading out the new menus and stat points. Wouldn't be bad if it only took 10 seconds. But really! Reapeaing it over and over. One time A full 4mins just reading out new menus that got a bit too much. Sorry I'm not a mmrpg player, maybe you all like to hear every menu every hp, lp, and whatever else there is. But it really grated on me.
