About this listen

Think you've had a bad day at work? Marcus definitely takes the cake.

First, he had a horrible customer during his shift. Then he got fired by his boss. And after that, he got shot to death during a robbery.

To top it all off, he awakened within the body of a weak and strange creature in a fantasy world full of deadly monsters.

And that's just Monday!

Now Marcus will have to find a way to survive as a Vex Queen, but to do so his own bravery and determination are not enough. He needs to build a Hive that will protect him and the monsters are only the first of many threats to come...

Experience the start of a LitRPG-lite adventure with a unique, Real-TimeStrategy twist. Follow Marcus's struggle to survive while also keeping his humanity as he leads a hive-minded race and builds an army in a hostile fantasy world full of goblins, knights, magic and dragons!

An interesting twist on the genre - loved it - loved the complex Main Characters issues due to a Male human being stuck in a female Ant body - Good story and good narrator - look forward to the next one

Great Start - looking forward to more

Out of all the free books on here, this is one of the few I've listened to that I actually plan on getting the sequel as soon as I have a credit for it. Now, it's not the best series on here, but it's pretty solid.

One of the best free audio books on audible

A few juvenile bits but too many. Great idea for an MC and a pretty good plot. Narrator is good. Had book 1 free, will buy book 2

MC is very interesting character concept.
