Synopsis

When Peter finds himself on a strange planet, drafted into a war by alien abductors, his only goal is to be one of the few to survive the war and return home to Earth.

Peter is one of thousands who get abducted every year, as payment to the aliens. The aliens have given humans portal travel, healing serums, and other advanced alien technology. The quality of life has improved, but everything has a price.

Along with a group of strangers Peter is trained for war by going up against literal monsters. The troll-like aliens won't give them modern weapons. Humans have to battle monsters with swords and shields, and that is just to get out of boot camp.

His only chance to survive is to use the alien device he is given. The device can increase his strength and speed to superhuman levels. It can even grant him powers that seem like magic. Complicating things is that the device's interface is written in an ever-changing alien language. He will have to figure out its secrets if he wants to keep himself and his team alive.

Goodreads review by Craig

There seems to be a genre about there for book authors of books that take gaming and use that premise to develop a book series. One such author is Jamie Davis who has many books that takes gaming to develop fantasy series. I can say that Sampson's book is on par with Davis's series. When I say on pa......more

Goodreads review by Magila

This book caught me completely unawares. It was in the “New Release” area for Fantasy/Sci-fi and it was downright good. The story was compelling, the characters were interesting, and it wasn’t totally predictable. In a rather crowded GameLIT - LitRPG genre, it distinguished itself as new and interes......more

Goodreads review by Kevin

Definition of pulp fiction. This is a really fun read that's got exciting aliens and technology and a battle for earth and humanitys existence that just sort of fizzles out. It reads like the author said "oh woops im at my page count, the end." which is sort of disappointing there were a lot of thre......more
