Hard Reset

By: Jonathan Yanez

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

Hard Reset is a fast-paced, unpredictable, and clever take on the LitRPG genre, blending beloved sci-fi and apocalyptic themes to create an intricate new reality.

In this world, life begins in a coffin, cars float, a good ray gun is your best friend, and computer displays are activated with a flick of the wrist. It all feels so real, so right…and it all feels so wrong.

Some things remain the same in every reality: People with power crave more power. You’re free to live your life as long as you don’t challenge the status quo.

Tom doesn’t like the status quo. Never has.

Never will.

With a smart-mouthed computer program, a quick-shooting bounty hunter, and a pissed-off stranger as his allies, Tom takes on a corrupt, authoritarian government.

All the while, in another world, someone is studying his every move and thought. Tom may hold the key to humanity’s future.

If he can survive the game…without being reset.

Intriguing

Jonathan Yanez is such a good storyteller. I can't wait for the next installment to see how the mysteries unravel. Not your usual litrpg, this is fun and not overly focused on achievements and levels.
First time for this narrator, very easy to listen to, but he won't our you to sleep.

His own twist

Loved this book, a different take with his own twist. Definitely the makings of a long series! I’m really enjoying the characters. Gary may be one of my favorites.😆 definitely don’t miss this,you would be horribly neglecting your imagination if you opted out of this trip🩷
