Double-Blind: Rogue Tactics

Double-Blind, Book 1

By: J. McCoy

Narrated by: Ramón de Ocampo

Activate Stealth, Grind, and Survive.

Choosing a college when your family is struggling can be difficult, but it isn’t supposed to be world ending. And the falling meteor is seriously limiting Matt’s options.

Now in the aftermath, his home city is locked down by a mysterious dome, corporations are looking to monopolize a wealth of new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a System that seems to have borderline sinister intentions.

In the chaos, Matt decides to stick to what he knows: use his stealth class to adapt and survive.

Watch as Matt is dragged into a LitRPG apocalypse set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams.

Top Tier book One, one of the best.

I'm approach 500 LitRPG books, and this is in the top 2%. A phenomenally well-crafted and well written book, with a very smart MC facing against very smart villains.

First off, a dome comes over Dallas, along with magic for the world.

So, so much happens. I listened to it all three times, but I need to give it another listen. The MC is a *great* character.

Definitely get this book. I'm going through the second book now.

amazing

I enjoyed this book from the very start. I can't wait to listen to the next one !

Don't miss this one.

It does start out a little rough, but hang in there. This book is essentially a more grounded adventure following the LitRPG formula. What will surprise you is the action and environmental setup. Very well done and impactful. This should be the start of a great series.
The only thing I would change is the "reluctant hero" angle. It's overplayed a bit.

Story

What a fantastic story! I loved the MC and all the side characters. Narration was on point.

Not The Usual Power Trip

The MC is a “hero” that schemes like a top tier villain; very observant and manipulative. He’s not afraid to gaslight someone to get results and his approach is clinical in most circumstances. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you go into this with an open mind, I think you’ll enjoy it. Great characters and world building. Narration is top notch.
