Picking up directly from the end of the previous book, this would not be a good place to join the series and in any case the previous four book are also very good so you should check those out before this one if you haven't already done so.

This latest instalment ramps up the challenges for the main character and his friends with much more of a focus on taking back the cities and towns that had been 'bought' by alien races when the system was implemented, along the way they form alliances with new groups and also have to deal with the negatives when fighting back for some groups turns out to be an excuse for violent xenophobia. One slight negative to this book's plot is how heavily it relied on the use of one particular new ability of John, it featured so heavily that the opposition had to be specifically setup to counter him.

It is actually quite difficult to say anything different about the narration, it is again done very well and enhances your enjoyment of the book.

Overall, another strong instalment in the series that includes an ending that definitely leaves you eager for the next book.

One of the most enjoyable stories I've listened to. Every book in this series makes you want more. Can't wait until the next one is available.

Great story and performance

still slowly shifting the focus it seems, and I'm not a big fan of how this changes the story, but I'm still loving it and still bought the next book before finishing book 5 so that should tell you something :)

Nick does his standard job... Which is still amazing... :)

I have listened to all 9 books so far and enjoyed each one. Nick Podehl is one of the top narrators on Audible and it shows. Tao Wong does a great job of building John as a character. Like most book/move/tv series there are good and bad parts but overall the series has been enjoyable and I would recommend it. A good addition to the LitRPG options out there.

Worthy of a binge listen

The mechanics are still evolving and the plot twist at the end really draws you to commit to the next book. I'm fully committed to see this series until its end
