About this listen

If you had to choose between your life and your dreams, would you ever wake up?

Alan Campbell thought he'd gotten his dream job working on a revolutionary VRMMORPG with Osmark Technologies, until the project was canceled. He has one weekend to dive into an untested world full of intrigue, violence, and corruption to prove that Viridian Gate Online works, but the AIs running the game have their own plans for his soul.

Set a year before the events of Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm, Viridian Gate Online: Nomad Soul takes you back to when VGO was just a game, or so it seemed.

this was a very enjoyable book.Maybe not the most original but this is what we are expecting in this genre. I can easily recommend it and can't wait to start 2nd book

it was very good. Low reviews make no sense

this was a really strong start to a series -
love the multilayered plot, the characters are very engaging and the world building is excellent.
props to the narrator too - he really brings it all to life.


all in all I am eager to dive into the next book in the series

Best I've heard in a while

Brilliant descriptive text with a slow build from real life into the game. Fabulous interweaving with the game becoming more real than real. Takes LitRPG to another level.

Wow, just WOW

Are you looking for battle, adventure, excitement, wild things, crunchy levels and numbers?! Well don't look here.

This book is written by that weird guy in HR who thinks he's smarter than everyone else and can't understand why he's not the CEO of the company.

He's written a book full of nothing. I'm several hours in and so far he's had a lot of diatribes about being the cool HR guy who doesn't have a specific role (and thus is mysterious) but just "talks" to people. Wow fun. In the game (when he finally pops in) he has so far hung out with a beggar and written a lot of exposition on the lamest, edgiest AI gods you can possibly imagine.

Oh and it's a massive big epic world, but everything revolves around like ten guys so it's chill.

I have been trying a couple of new authors whilst waiting for the next books from my favourites. The books have been quite poor, this one is a big hit, inventive, fast moving and kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator is brilliant with a great range and smooth delivery. The story pace allowed a pick up of the virtual world then forged ahead. I have moved straight onto the next book, having to come back to do this review. Highly recommended.

Quite brilliant
