The Bright Lord

By: Alex Knowles

Narrated by: Steve Campbell

A home, a family. Lies and resentment. To save the future he must reclaim his past.

Enjoying his retirement. Ryan has everything. The perfect wife, a daughter he adores and all the time in the world. Yet, with dinner burning on the stove and his wife late home from work, two visitors appear bringing dire news and a quest he can't refuse.

Dragged back to a universe and a life Ryan did everything to escape, he must secretly hunt out survivors and friends all while training for the fight of his life.

Where brutality and pain were all Ryan ever knew, now he must inspire and heal. The collision of two worlds draws ever closer and if he can’t claim what was once his, all is lost.

First in a new series and it packs a punch

This is a great addition to the science fiction, gamelit, LITRPG, game world genre. We have a character in our world who shouldn’t really be here. He left his game world to come to ours and live a normal life. That is made impossible when old enemies and allies surface and drag his life here to ruin. Forced back into his old world he finds many changes have taken place and that he now just start over in a rather precarious position in a body not yet ready or able to handle the power that his knowledge and his past brings with it. New alliances are formed and battles are joined. Well written and narrated and this promises to be a very good series with much room to grow and many histories to return to. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

5 stars

Well done. Well narrated.  will be looking forward to the next from this author. You should buy this book.

Promising beginnings

Really strong concept. I feel the premise has a lot of potential and hope that it gets explored further. The characters are interesting and I want to learn more about them, too. Essentially, I want more. The narration is expertly done and adds to the story.

Couldn’t put it down.

Audiobooks usually take me a while to get through, I’ll listen to them an hour at a time. But I shot-gunned this one, staying up late to hear the entire story. Masterfully done, Alex on the story, and Steve for making the characters so real that I got completely lost in it.

Great

This was such a great bookfrom start to finish. Love the story and being reset. Love the bright system. Only complaint is me wanting more!
