About this listen

It's humans versus monsters when an apocalypse turns a simple cross-country trek into the road trip from hell in this breakneck LitRPG thrill ride.

All that stands between rowdy long-haul trucker Jill MacLeod (aka Junkmouth) and her family back in Boston is two thousand miles of asphalt. Well, that and the monstrous game the System has had her playing ever since it descended on Earth. The reward: mana. Jill's goal: kill, score, drive—and stay alive. Behind the wheel of a turreted forty-ton semi named Bertha, Jill hammers east from Montana through a gauntlet of every kind of chomping, hissing, rabid creature imaginable.

Barreling forward in her magical soulbound big rig and chalking up a bumper crop of roadkill, Jill isn't alone for long. Hitching a ride are stranded brothers Babu and Ras Bati, who just want to make it home to Billings in one piece, and Mia Williams, a school nurse with a rotary cannon and a crateful of ammo. The artillery, at least, will be handy, because what lies ahead is the biggest threat of all . . .

Arriving in Billings, they find a city in chaos, led by a self-appointed psychopathic mayor using the monster-ravaged ruins for his own ends. But Jill hasn't come this far to be blindsided by a human—no matter how scary. There's still a game to be played: The System is watching, that metal-muscle fortress Bertha is transforming, and Jill and her shotgun-riding friends will do anything it takes to keep the terror in the rear view one gobsmacking mile at a time.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 400,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Good action,nice world building,fun ideas for the truck itself. Thou a Mc gimmick is a boring after a bit,but other characters made upfor it.

Quite fun story.

Good and interesting setting. It itched the Dungeon Crawler Carl itch well and i was pretty vested in the trucking adventures. they levelled quite quickly though, and it feels an unsustainable power rise that makes me think it'll get silly quick.

Interesting setting and characters

I started listning to this at my boyfriends and loved it. So naturally, when I went home, I bought it. I blasted through it in 2 days. The core characters are great, I love a reluctant hero, the brothers dynamic is natural. The only thought I have on the main characters is their approximate ages.

It is very hard to write a captivating story set largely in one location (eg ships, trains)and yet the characters and the descriptions of the truck plowing through monsters is more than enough. The humor weaved into the dark, gritty world makes what would be a grim story much more light hearted.

Came for the system, stayed for the cursing

I was expecting a fun take on the genre. What I got was a badass basebuilding story with a trucker who's mouth is so foul I took notes.

More than expected
