Sector Eight

Perimeter Defense, Book 1

By: Michael Atamanov

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

A strange body that refuses to obey you; a weird game you can't quit until your contract expires; a world teeming with powerful and very real enemies. The game in which your reputation and faction relationship are the only things that matter. These are the conditions of the agreement Ruslan signs without reading.

The only thing he remembers is that he's been contracted to command a space fleet in a brand-new game he knows nothing about. Objective: to survive for six months. After having made some inevitable newbie mistakes, Ruslan has to rethink his strategy, dropping traditional gaming conventions. But what will it cost him? What new trials and tribulations await him that even the game designers have failed to anticipate?

This author is a big lover

Starship Troopers this is not.
Loyalty to America humans and dogs in that order ,my friends

Age of Empires & Star Trek’s baby!

This review will not have any spoilers. Just a straight to the point honest review.
I’ve listened to it twice over 3 days. And this is what I believe:
I really enjoyed the story! Lots of plots and intrigue. Strategy and hurt feelings. Basically how a fleet should be ran.
What I didn’t like about the story was there wasn’t a lot of info on the first game the character played. That would have prepared us for what the character was capable of doing. Bc in game he did more than I thought he was capable of doing. Other than that, my heads up to everyone is to listen carefully bc I found myself rewinding a lot to understand certain plots.
The narrator did good to me despite what others said. Only problem was when character switch from Game World to Real World there wasn’t a bridge in between.
To me this book seem more on the AOE / Star Trek side than Litrpg. But either readers would enjoy it.
Looking forward to getting the next book!

absolutely amazing

if you liked Armada then you'll love this book. characters well written the world is well explored and the author knows how to cut to the chase but still give you valuable detail. definitely enjoyable and I can't wait for the next one

As always this author writes phenomenal books to keep you on the edge of the seat guessing what will happen next.

Love this

I picked this up after ready reality benders and I’m so glad I did. I love the mystery behind the game.
