Viridian Gate Online: The Jade Lord

The Viridian Gate Archives, Book 3

By: James A. Hunter

Narrated by: Armen Taylor

It's been a busy month for thirty-two-year-old Jack Mitchel.

Three weeks ago, he died.

Two weeks ago, he founded the first Faction in the ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online.

A week and a half ago the world ended, destroyed by a cataclysmic asteroid.

Seven days ago, he conquered the Imperial city of Rowanheath, bringing all of Eldgard to the brink of war.

Though Jack's Faction, the Crimson Alliance, has a tenuous truce with tech genius and Imperial lord, Robert Osmark, Jack knows it can't last. Osmark is devious and power hungry, and it's only a matter of time before he sends his forces to wipe Jack and his underdog crew off the map for good.

If Jack hopes to survive another month inside of VGO, he must find a way to beat Osmark and his army of bloodthirsty thugs, and a new quest—the Path of the Jade Lord—may be just the ticket. But this quest will be far harder than anything Jack's faced before, pushing him to his mental, physical, and moral limits. And if Jack isn't careful, his quest to defeat Osmark and the Empire may end up turning him into the despot he's been fighting against.

Continuity/Spoiler

The story is very good and voice acting superb, but.... [SPOILER]

Are we supposed to ignore or forget the fact that Amara DIED at the end of book 2 from Carrera's Holy Lightning Bolt, and then this book picks up with her going about normal business no worse for the wear with no mention of how an NPC cheated death?? Couldn't find a forum to discuss this so resorted to here

character levels are important

I would really like to know the characters and stories level every time they level up but it would be nice to know what other characters abilities do besides Grim Jack and Abby's

enjoyable story

I enjoyed this and the first two books in the series. Great narrator, enjoyable characters, interesting story and world development. I'm interested to see where this goes.

Leeeeroy Jenkins!!!

yup. going on to the next book. holy crap this series is wonderful. well written, well read. I'm excited for the beginning of the war to start.

It took me 3 books to realize the problem.

Satire to follow.... Hero stabs himself for no reason. Goddess appears, "what a good decision. Here take unending rewards."
