The System Apocalypse: Kismet, Books 1-3

A Post-Apocalyptic LitRPG

By: Tao Wong, David R. Packer

Narrated by: Michael Norman Johnson

Not everyone falls during an apocalypse. Some rise to the occasion.

For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise, and be who they were meant to be.

Now, they're trying to offer others the same opportunities as part of a secret organization helping humanity survive the System.

Today's mission? Nothing big, just your typical save-the-princess quest.

But when you're the Acolyte of a Trickster god, typical is the last thing you should expect.

Just ask Fool's cat.

Written by David R. Packer in Tao Wong's bestselling post-apocalyptic LitRPG universe, System Apocalypse: Kismet follows a different path through a post-apocalyptic world, one of hope, redemption, and second chances.

Books included:

• Fool's Play
• Fool's Bond
• Fool's Last Dance

Not the best installment

I’ve listened to almost every System Apocalypse series and unfortunately I have to rate this one the lowest. It’s not a bad story, but I wasn’t engaged in the story or characters as much as I was with other books set in this world. I wish I could have given it four or five stars, but I found myself always setting this one aside for something else and taking a long time to return to it and finish it.

That word doesn't mean what you think it does...

I was happy with this until the third book where the narrator kept using the word; Calvary (Cal-Var-EE) which means; Golgotha, which was a site immediately outside Roman Jerusalem's walls where, according to Christianity's four canonical gospels, Jesus was crucified.

When what he meant was Cavalry (Cav-al-ry) which means mounted fighters.

Made me cringe every time... ruined the third book for me.
