Fresh Blood

Survival World, Book 1

By: Jessica Hicks

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

He was climbing the corporate ladder, now he's climbing the food chain.

Felix used to be a traveling salesman, drifting through the galaxy and hawking his wares. Used to be, that is, until a freak accident in an out-of-the-way system.

One rough landing later, Felix finds himself stranded on a wild, alien planet - front and center - in a deadly role he never auditioned for to entertain a secret audience.

The upside? A fellow passenger made it to the escape pod with Felix. With this reptilian stranger at his side, he’s not totally alone.

The downside? They don’t share a language. Worse, there’s not one scrap of survival know-how between them, and an ominous clawing is coming from outside the escape pod.

As if the struggle to avoid becoming lunch and finding some of their own wasn’t enough, an autonomous implant from an unknown source seeks to integrate them into the system.

this was really enjoyable. I like the litrpg aspects and how they come about. they aren't to over the too either. the characters are well done, as well as, the world. I really like what's done between chapters.

narration is does really well too. good range of voices, well read. makes it easy to listen too.

overall this book was a surprise and really enjoyed it.id recommend it to anyone.

cant wait for more

Great book.. great start

Awesome book. I am giving this review having received a promo code.
The story is well flushed out, the characters are easy to relate to and like, the narration is better than average, but not my favorite.
Overall the book left me wanting a sequel to listen to! I do recommend!

The Reality TV Show Was an Interesting Twist

This is a quick action-packed novel about a man whose spaceship crashes, making him the unknowing star of a reality TV-style series in which the audience watches to see if he can survive. There are some light LRPG elements as well. It's a very quick read which never fully caught my interest, but didn’t totally lose it either.

very fun listen

enjoyed this new start of the series a lot. looking forward to more books and where it leads the story. only complaint is that I feel like the worlds rpg system wasnt very explored by the cast, I liked what we were told about the system so far I just feel the characters could have explored its uses more. great book cant wait for number 2!

A new take worth it's time.

I was unsure whether I would like the story, but it had a nice pacing, the perfect for a lazy sunday.
