One man. One game. One adorable baby dragon.

Two weeks ago, Hector Park cheated death by uploading his mind to the ultra-immersive fantasy RPG game, Archemi. After exposing the rotten heart of an order of dragon knights, he’s now on the run with a young queen dragon who could one day become the most powerful mount in the game.

To get strong enough to face their enemies, they need a quest - a big one. Fortunately, trouble has a way of finding Hector, and it does - in the form of a series of brutally murdered priests, a king in desperate need of a hero, and a beautiful, fiery berserker. The risk? Huge. The payoff? More gold than a dragon’s hoard.

There's only one problem - Archemi is haunted by the ghost of a mad developer bent on making the game his personal playground. And now that the world outside has vanished in a storm of nuclear fire, there's no one left to stop him.

Or at least, that’s what he thinks. Because Hector isn't the kind of man to take this shit lying down.

this was definitely a wonderful read. I hope that the next book in the series doesn't take too long to drop, because I don't think I can wait for the next one. soundproof theater did just as awesome as they usually do on game light novels. overall I'll give it a nine point 5 out of 10. I hope that you guys find this review honest. if you do, please hit the helpful button down below.

I am really loving this series so far and will be looking forward to the next as soon as it comes out.

A great story

I can suspend my belief pretty well.. I mean, I'm listening to a book about people living in VR with dragons. With that being said there are still things in this book that make you scratch your head and say "wtf". Kinda lazy plot pushers sprinkled in to drive the story in a certain direction. BUT, even with those few offputting moments the story is engaging and keeps you mostly interested. I'll pick up the next book at some point.

Good second installment

The story continues right where it left off in Book 1 and just keeps getting better. The Narration is also superb, not only are the 2 narrators Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays, and Laurie Catherine Winkel fantastic, but the music, sound effects, and sound editing increase the listening experience significantly. When Fights start and the battle music begins it definitely reminds me of the 1000s of video game boss battles I have experienced myself and it really gets the blood pumping!

Great story and Narration
