Apocalypse Online

By: Robyn Wideman

Narrated by: Pavi Proczko

At first everyone thought it was a game...

But aliens have arrived and they are turning people into fertilizer.

Brad and Sam are gamers and when they started playing the hot new game Apocalypse Online they had no idea that the game was a preview of reality! With the help of a benevolent alien AI and nanotechnology, our heroes will have a chance to survive the apocalypse. They just have to survive, level up and find other survivors.

Jake is no gamer. But when he finds out aliens have arrived, he'll do anything to protect his little sister Sam.

Will they be able to grow strong enough for the second wave or will they become alien plant food?

APOCALYPSE ONLINE is a litrpg/gamelit post-apocalypse fantasy series filled with action, adventure, aliens and snarky AIs.

If you are a fan of System Apocalypse, Defiance of the Fall, or the Sun Shadow series, you'll love Apocalypse Online!

great read

fun book loved the concept and the references to other books and movies. keep it up

Entertaining

I liked the overall plot and the caricatures needed a little more in-depth creation it was a nice read without the unnecessary long winded descriptions other litrpg’s have

Worth your time and credit

This is one of the better litrpgs out there. Good and interesting story with excellent narration. Listened start to finish in one night which sums it up pretty good right there.

Pretty good with some pretty standard exceptions.

It’s starting to feel like there is a common denominator for LitRPG audiobooks that are pretty good but not great… they all either lack good alpha and beta readers or the authors of these books have good readers that they aren’t listening to.

The reason I say this is because it should be the pre-release readers that are pointing out the places where relatively intelligent characters do totally idiotic things for the sake of the plot. I can’t count how many GameLit audiobooks I’ve listened to in the past couple years that all have this in common.

Maybe the authors are just sick of re-writes or maybe they’re not picking well-read people for their A/B readers. Whatever the reason, this issue is so wide spread that I’m starting to feel like it deserves an extra star reduction penalty.

So from the above you can guess what my primary complaint about this audiobook is. It has some other issues on top of that, but overall it was a pretty good story. Pavi Proczko gives his usual competent but work-a-day performance which in this case didn’t hurt the story too much.

If you’re like me and have listened to everything that isn’t an unmitigated pile of crap in the GameLit genre then this is worth your credit. But if you spend less than 2-3 credits a month then there are guaranteed to be better options available to you.

Definitely a Good Read!

Starting reading this as I wait for my list of other series to come out with new stuff. Love the idea and worth listening to. Looking forward to knock the other books out.
