Summary

A tech genius. A corrupt politician. The world hangs in the balance.

October, 2042

In two weeks, the world will die, murdered by a nine-mile-wide, extinction-level asteroid.

And Robert Osmark—billionaire and savvy tech-—couldn't be readier for the fiery apocalypse.

Unlike the shortsighted masses, he's been diligently preparing for this day from the moment the asteroid first appeared. Through his relentless efforts, digital salvation now awaits anyone bold enough to take the leap and permanently transition into the brand-new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online. And Robert Osmark will lead this new world he has created.

But even with every advantage skewed in his favor, Osmark faces powerful opposition. A rogue faction of global elites led by US Senator Sizemore isn't content to merely survive the apocalypse. They have their sights set much higher, and are recruiting dangerous allies, undercutting Robert's efforts at every turn, and hiring VGO's most deadly assassins to get what they want. To win, Osmark will need to viciously crush all opposition before his plans turn to ash.

Interesting new adventure


Not sure about some of the reviews but i found this immensely enjoyable and I think for those who haven't reached lich priest it may go a bit much against the characters portrayed in earlier books.
For me I liked this and I found the background politics of the council very good. Having some of the events before viridian game play started also helps i think but i don't know if I would read this as the 1st book but rather maybe after book 3 for best enjoyment and understanding
Narration was quite good but i missed the regular Viridian narrator Armen so won't rush for this on audio. Either way I think 4.5 stars and I shall follow further adventures but propably on ebook.

Narration doesn’t fit with the other books

Stilted narration is jarring and the character voices are different to the other series/books. Wish they’d kept with the other narrators who are much more natural.
