Deadman Running: A Cyberpunk LitRPG

Slumrat Rising, Book 3

By: Warby Picus

Narrated by: Todd Haberkorn

In the epic third installment of this urban fantasy series, an ambitious and powerful young man incites a revolution at the end of the world.

If Truth Medici has learned anything, it’s that the country isn’t neatly divided into safe and dangerous zones. Everywhere is a battlefield and a hunting ground. Everyone is both predator and prey, slumrats on the run from bigger rats. Truth is finally one of the bigger rats, so elite that ordinary people can’t even see him. But though he may be a walking ghost, he’ll be acknowledged one way or another.

Truth holds the power to slay the very oppressors who made him what he is. And he’s resolved to wield this power toward a righteous end. His next move: smash the System and fashion himself as a mastermind, pulling the strings of rebellion. With the help of old friends and new, it’s time for him to level up and prepare to do anything in the name of freedom.

But uprisings, explosive anarchy, devastating chaos, and collateral damage are just the beginning. Because the war isn’t only being waged on the ground. The rulers of Heaven and Hell are in on it too, their ancient animosity more nuanced than anyone dares believe. And standing and fighting between them is Truth . . .

The third volume of the hit cyberpunk fantasy series—with more than one million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Fantastically dark

MC is great. Layered and very darkly thoughtful. Unique for the genre. Might help if author could have some sort of recap at the beginning of the book.

Always an Intriguing Listen

1 part cyberpunk litrpg. 1 part theology. 1 part philosophy. Stir thoroughly to make an intriguing and entertaining listen. Thank you!

Superb Again

This series has continued to be wonderful. There was a pacing shift, I thought, with this one. I am hoping that it was used to set up for the bigger confrontation in the next book rather than the trend with popular books to add in a couple fillers in the middle to eke out more profit from a good series.

Best installment yet

By far the best installment in the series so far. Truth really sticks it to Starbright, very satisfying! Can’t wait for the next.

good book, underrated.

I liked the growth and cat and mouse of Truth's work against Star bright.
