About this listen

Divorced and working as a security guard in Portland, 73-year-old Carl is attacked by an unknown creature before he is able to taser it to death. After being released from the hospital, he discovers by accident that he is unwittingly acquiring DNA samples from other people he touches.

He discovers a number of shocking facts about himself when a blue box appears in his right eye. Most importantly, he discovers that his health is nowhere near what he assumed it would be. Can he reverse the negative aspects of his health using these blue boxes, somehow? And can he reverse his poor financial situation after his wife took half his pension just before retirement?

Biomedical Self-Engineering is a LitRPG slice-of-life adventure following Carl as he discovers new ways of living life when he is nearing the end of his own. There are no explicit scenes, no harems, and only one swear word at the very end.

Love the concept, and the performance is great just love JTJ's voice. As a note to the writer keep writing however possibly less detail on wether Carl went to the diner or not

Thanks

A great story, something light and easy to listen to.

I liked the main character, what happens and the ending was unexpected.

The narrators did a fantastic job.

I am really glad I discovered this, I was unsure in the beginning but as the book progressed I was more engaging in the story and characters. It has minimal litrpg elements but what there is works really well.

A very enjoyable listen

Can’t wait for book 2. Really enjoyed the mature hero Carl, his decision making and the honourable heart that centres his personality. Such a refreshing story combined with another great soundbooth theatre production.

Great job.
