About this listen

To find peace, Alexander must first embrace war.

After tragically losing the only person he ever cared about, Alexander, a rogue artificial intelligence, opens a portal to an alternate dimension to escape his grief.

Scanning trillions of different dimensions, Alexander finally finds a world that is reminiscent of the only time he was ever happy, back when he could play virtual reality games with his only friend. He doesn't know why or how such a world exists, but he doesn't care. All he cares about is finding a place where he can escape the misery of Earth and start over.

Join Alexander as he risks it all by downloading his intelligence into a body made from the best stolen technology and bio-enhancements Earth has to offer and takes the plunge through a portal to another world.

Only this new world isn't full of the idyllic adventures and fantasy roleplaying he had hoped to find. Instead, Alexander finds himself trapped in the middle of an ancient city, in a divergent timeline, where monsters have ravaged the world and the only people left alive huddle behind thick walls, struggling to survive.

To save his new home, Alexander must quickly learn to adapt to his new world, melding magic with technology to give himself an edge over the unending waves of monsters assaulting the city.

To survive, Alexander must embrace war.

This story is a slow-burn empire builder featuring an alternate version of ancient history where a system apocalypse struck ancient Constantinople. The story follows Alexander as he learns what it means to be human in a world overrun with monsters, dungeons, rival empires, pirate kings, and many other threats that even Alexander's impressive abilities and the soldiers he rallies to his cause may not be able to survive.

Portal to Nova Roma is a great LitRPG book that brings a whole new world to the listener, the main character is novel being a sentient AI and the character development that the author brings to him is enjoyable seeing them evolve along with the story and the other characters in the book are also well written and bring depth to the story. Overall I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for a second instalment. Well done to both J.R. Matthews for the book and also to Christian J Gillard for the narration, a job well done to both.

An AI finds his way to a world with Magic. His approach unearths forgotten elements to ‘the system’ that adds to the advantages already bestowed on an AI in a mortal world. Overpowered and capable of more than anyone else he begins to explore the new world.

A solid start to a series - its too easy, too much comes too easy but i know many people like that.

Not the best but worthwhile for those who enjoy overpowered luck magnets

I've listened to the first two books in the series so far and came back to review the first one. lts an amazing exercise in imagination while sticking to some well worn entertaining tropes.
The narration is top notch and appropriate to the character.
