First Line of Defense

First Line of Defense, Book 1

By: Benjamin Kerei

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Earth was invaded. Earth was conquered. And humanity was summarily subjugated, as 400,000,000 people were culled.

The terrifying part was this only took the Peacekeepers a second. There wasn't even a chance for us to fight back. In the blink of an eye, questions like whether or not we're alone in the universe or at the top of the food chain were answered. We were not. Not by a long shot.

Despite the mass murder, the Peacekeepers promise they're benevolent. They don't want to rule Earth. They don't want to control humanity. They just want us to stop playing around with AI and genetics.

Willing or unwilling, Morgan and the rest of humanity are now members of the Collective. And like every species in the Collective, they have to learn to play the Game.

What do you do when an AI offers you the opportunity to play the greatest tower defense game the universe has ever created? You accept, of course.

Learning the rules and finding a way to survive can come later. Morgan certainly thinks so.

When aliens are attacking your station and giant six-eyed rats are eating your robotic face, you start to have your doubts. Accidentally starting a war doesn't help, either. But what are you going to do? You're the first line of defense—and you've got a job to do.

Need more!

Benjamin Kerei, you both tease and spoil your fans with your fantastic books! They aren't nearly long enough. I imagine forty hours of your imagination put onto pages would be sufficient for one single book. However, you spoil us (your fans) by giving us yet another series to eagerly await sequels for!
Setting aside my complaints for more, it would be a shame not to congratulate Travis Baldree for another fantastic performance! He is actually one of my favorite narrators, so I might be biased.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this audible to any fan of LitRpg.

Great book

Overall I think that this book was a great read. A little slow in the beginning but it definitely picks up.

Wow!

This is an amazing addition to the LitRPG scene! I loved the tower defense aspects of it and the MC was intelligent and likeable! I can't wait for the next in the series!

It was good

Glad to have read it, definitely recommend it. The ending was a bit abrupt for my taste and the game logic was a bit hard to follow. That said, it was a good read that was exciting and fun.

So much fun!!

Great book! Keep all of these books coming. I really enjoyed listening to this book and can’t wait for the next one.
