About this listen

The Earth has changed. War is now fought in an alien virtual reality - the Game - where many of the players are anything but human.

Now part of the Black Rose guild, Alan heads to the Academy to level up and get stronger. He hopes to make allies and learn skills to win the battles to come. But with everyone pursuing their own agendas, what can one gamer do in a universe he still doesn't fully understand?

The last few words of the book was a funny moment

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the first book, but a lot of this appeared to be Alan behaving like a teenager arguing with his AI, and so much appeared to be taking place in his mind that I got lost which parts were set in real life, which parts were in the game and which parts were in the game within a game along with his mind base.

I'm looking forward to more books, just hoping he spends less time in his mind base and more time interacting with others as that's when the story shines.

Narration was wonderful

Not as good as the first

Plot wise it was pretty good; spoiled by constant and overpowering game statistics. A shame as it has the makings of a top shelf saga

Pretty good but repetitive

I thought that the first book was awesome... this one blows it out of the water. 10/10

Wow!

I loved the full on in game immersion aspect to this sequel, as in the first you are mainly following Alan through his adventures - really looking forward to the third installment!!!

I really liked it

Everything good sci fi should be. Kept me guessing until the end and plenty of scope for more books.

Clever, engaging, funny, exciting and surprising.
