A new pandemic - the perma effect - has taken over Earth of the near future. Whenever you play your favorite online game, beware: your mind might merge with the virtual world and dump its comatose host. Woe be to those stuck forever in Tetris! And still they're the lucky ones compared to those burning alive eternally within the scorched hulls of tank simulators. But some unfortunates - the handicapped and the terminally ill, shell-shocked army vets, wronged crime victims and other society misfits - choose to flee real life willingly, escaping to the limitless world of online sword and sorcery MMORPGs. Once a seasoned gamer and now a terminal cancer patient, Max grasps at this final chance to preserve his life and identity. So he goes for it - goes for the promise of immortality shared with a few trusty friends and the woman he loves. Together they roam the roads of AlterWorld and sample its agony and ecstasy born of absolute freedom.

It's a great adaptation of everything I love about MMORPGs in a story. Gives me my gaming fix whilst I'm driving for real world stuff!
Great RPG story!

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The immaturity and sexism were niggling. The over-use of unexplained acronyms was annoying. There were some poorly-thought out plot holes.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
An hour from the end, I realised I just didn't want to finish it. Usually, I will persevere, just to make sure I don't miss anything. In this case, I don't care if I did miss something; I couldn't face wasting that final hour.Did AlterWorld inspire you to do anything?
I was inspired to return it, but it did make me a biit nostalgic for quest adventure games, so I think I might try to find a game to play.Any additional comments?
The narrator was good, and the book wasn't really dreadful - it was just that by the end the bad bits were niggling at me enough to overwhelm any good bits.Not for me

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Others are also tackling the game life crossover genre, but this is especially well done. If you like the subject, its sure to have your inner 'geek' purring with pleasure. I purchased the first book, got books 2+3 straight away and books 4 to 7 within a week. Just a slight caution, the first 3 books are solid work, then the care and fresh idea's slow down. Look at the book lengths ... rushing them out? Pressure from the publisher after book 3? I could see a trend there :/ That being said, do I recommend them?Yes I do. Great fun to be had, but please Mr D. Rus, if you are the type of author that reads poorly written reviews, please take your own sweet time with your next book :)
(Not as long as Patrick Rothfuss though lol)
What did you like best about this story?
Good balance of the geek Vs story. By this I mean it caters for old school gamers and the non gamer sci-fi readership.
What does Michael Goldstrom bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Well narrated by Michael Goldstrom, Michael is no 'Rupert Degas', but who is?Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me smile a few times, from a miserable old git, that's good enough.Any additional comments?
Additional for readers that remember the late 70's to early 90's - If you like the game immersion theme and haven't yet read 'Ready Player One', give your self a real treat :)A great series opener
