Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon

De: Matt Dinniman

Narrado por: Joe Hempel

A private server. A digital playground. An alliance of the world's most sadistic, most depraved minds. A place to bring their prey, to hone their skills.

Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon. Survival horror. One of the most brutal, most terrifying full-immersion games ever made. A place where fantasy characters such as elves and dwarves clash with technology, where giant monsters roam the hills, entrusted with protecting the gates of heaven from the demons who would tear it all down.

A game where one plays the last of the battlefield surgeons: a healer tasked with keeping the behemoths alive at all costs.

But on this server, they don't care about the game. That's not why they're here. They've come because of the game's most unique feature: full pain. Realistic anatomy. The ability to bring their victims well beyond the body's normal breaking point. And most importantly, the ability to bring them back and do it all over again.

Trapped in a bloody, merciless nightmare, Duke only has one goal: to survive. And in order to survive, he must play the game. He must win the game. And to do that, he must become the most cruel, most ruthless monster of them all.

Matt wtf, haha. Great book, as always, with relatable, likable characters and a sayisfying ending to boot. That being said.. holy shit.

only downside were a couple errors throughout in regards to continuity and towards the end they were both referenced to as humans and their in game races which was confusing as i dont believe the in game characters knew they were actually human. 9/10 you gross-ass

Great but gruesome

I have taken in some dark media in my time but this book had me viscerally reacting. not for the faint of heart. fortunately the story was compelling enough that i pushed through

Great take on the vr world bad choice of narrator

But the most boring narrator. I feel like this is a huge let down that dinniman didnt narrate this. Hempel narrates this like hes trying to finish the book before he falls asleep. Zero energy and really a let down. About halfway thru the book and i dont know if i can stomach another 15 hours of it

Wow just wow

Not at all what I was expecting! but way exceeded my expectations! great book, great narrator, great Author!

Too many valleys, not enough peaks…

Too many valleys, not enough peaks. I love the authors work generally. The base subject matter is not my thing. Narrator is a little on the dry side, not enough inflection. Stopped around 10.5 hour mark.
