Publisher's summary

“You keep what you kill. That’s one law everybody out here respects.”

Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast.

Dungeons popped up in shopping malls, airports, and Starbucks. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new type of gold rush. Magical weapons, powerful gear, potions to cure every ill...If you survive long enough to kill the mob, whatever they drop belongs to you.

Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for, chewed it up, and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his beer-loving, chainsaw-toting brother, Joe, are going west to try their hand at monster killing.

The loot from the low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn’t the real reason they risked the Infested Zone. They need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in 10,000 hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland. But the few who beat the odds gain riches, glory, and most importantly, the Dungeon Lord’s magical powers.

They have nothing left to lose and everything to gain. If they survive.

Monster hunting gold rush

Excellent short story about a man, his wife, and his dingus brother braving the monster infested Southwest in search of riches, power, and a miracle. I highly recommend.

solid

I read a lot of RPG lit this was a fun read. just wish it was longer

Way better than expected!

Considering how short this book was, the author did an excellent job of developing both an interesting plot and individual characters! Great read, and absolutely hilarious, loved Joe's character...

Crazy fun!

Wasteland Warriors is such a fun, action-packed story! Jame Hunter and eden Hudson team up again and the results are phenomenal. On top of the fun story, Travis Baldree brings his vocal talents into the mix. Highly recommend! Can't wait to start the next book!

Enjoyable listen

This is a fun listen. Well written. Good dialog. Definitely looking forward to the next books when they come out..

A really good start

I really enjoyed the story, but it definitely isn’t a full book worth of a story. This is sort of like if you were writing a story about World of Warcraft and then ended it after defeating the Kobold Goldtooth in the first zone. It technically had a beginning, middle, and ending, but there is so much more story left to tell. It has barely begun and that is obvious.

Bruce Campbell should be proud!

Chainsaws are in vogue again. Immature and rollicking fun that makes a great listen! 👍

Great fun!

I normally don't read LitRPG but I really like both of these authors and the story sounded intriguing. I found the LitRPG fit great in here and didn't slow the story down.
I enjoyed the characters and the plot. Lots of action and a scattering of humor. Will watch for #2!

A new take on dungeons

While I probably wouldn't have bought this for a credit for the length, it was well worth the listen in the Plus Catalog. We have a trio of characters (Clay, his wife Alex and his brother Lumberjack Joe). Rather than the entire world being taken over with a "system" it's mostly limited to the west coast of the US. After 20 years, the area has been secured and is basically a wild west again with no laws and lots of monsters. Outside the Infested Zone, almost all magical items are controlled by the government and illegal to posses, so our intrepid heroes venture to the IZ to solve Alex's problem. I've already started book 2 and looking forward to more.

Average - seems to be aimed at teenagers.

Average story - seems to be aimed at teenagers. Good narration, Travis Baldree is always good.
