Publisher's summary

Gaia has awakened, and the world will never be the same again

Rockland Barkclay has had a rough year. On top of everything else, his father has just passed, and Rocky has to go it alone on their annual trip. But his plans for drinking alone in Algonquin Park are rudely interrupted by a sea of cosmic energy that governs the universe. Ether, the driving force of creation, has returned. Now a confused Rocky must navigate odd hovering messages to survive.

With the awakening of the very planet they reside on, humans are in a desperate fight to survive in an evolving world. If only Gaia hadn’t woken up so very...very...unhinged.

This was a great entry into the LitRPG Post Apocalyptic genre. Solid development throughout and a fun story start to finish. Looking forward to Book 2!

Another good Apocalypse LitRPG

Ever since System Apocalypse, more and more apocalypse LitRPGs have been coming out. That is not a bad thing though, because as this book proves, even in a genre that is not fresh, it is possible to write books that feel fresh. This was a fantastic book, and I look forward to more.

Solid but maybe not that memorable

I enjoyed this book and I would have a hard time really nailing down things to point out that the author didn't do well. That said, I also didn't find myself being pulled into this book and when it was done, I wasn't running to see if there was any more material out. Overall, it was fine. The main character seemed alright but also not as interesting or engaging as the characters for books I often give higher ratings to.

I didn't dislike the book, but I also wasn't blown away by it. Ultimately, that's about where I would put a 4 star book at usually.

Great start and a excellent narration.

Going to start off with saying what a fantastic job Luke Daniels did on the narration. he really brought the story alive while listening to it.

A great start to what I hope to be an amazing story. The story lays out the back story very well and I hope to see more development from the base building in the following books.

great book!

This was a great book! The only issue I had was the main characters substitute for cussing. The substitute for cussing was too random and child like to the point it sometimes didn't make sense as a replacement... Other than that I loved the story it was very impressive.

That was so much fun!

It wasn't what I was expecting, and that's a good thing. I was getting worried that I would run out of entertaining litRPG series, but this had what I was looking for, interesting characters, fleshed out personalities, and world-building that gives the impression of a much greater story going on behind the scenes.
