Life in King’s League has hit a new low. Dirk has lost Graydon’s Sight to another player. For the first time since finding it, he is forced to navigate the game while tracking down the rest of the set. It’s the worst time to discover that Graydon isn’t the only god with armor to bestow, either.
It becomes a race against the clock to collect the remaining missing pieces and devise a plan to get the helm back, all while keeping an eye out for old enemies.
With the help of his party, Dirk discovers the player in possession of Graydon’s Sight is using it to take over a realm called Sky Raiders. Left with no choice, he and the others set out for the steampunk skies where one thing soon becomes clear: They’re going to need a bigger boat.
There they discover that not everything is what it seems and being a pirate captain in a cutthroat realm where only the ruthless survive isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
As Dirk navigates this strange new land in hopes of getting his armor back, he’ll discover new lore that won’t stay secret for long. It’s a race against the clock before every player in the game starts gunning for him and it will take all Dirk’s wits to avoid the character creation screen.
This is the fourth in an action-packed series telling the amazing adventures of five players in King’s League, an immersive VR video game. They battle ferocious mods with a variety of weapons; search for treasure; weapons, and armor; fight or help other players; and try to have a good time. There is some relationship tension among the teammates and lots of snarky banter but no physical sex. Mostly they fight the mods and PKs as a team. Except for Dirk and Brian, the players live far apart so don’t meet in the real world. The really nice thing about an RPG is you don’t need to invoke magic, worry about the Laws of Physics and Chemistry, or justify how your “universe” was created: the clever, imaginative Devs coded things the way they are. As a retired rocket scientist, I appreciate not having to suspend belief in the way our universe works in order to appreciate the story. I recommend starting the series from “King's League: An Epic Lit RPG Adventure” to appreciate the way the characters evolve into a close-knit team, loyal to each other and trusting one another.
UNFAIR REVIEW. This type of story, I have found, is not for me. But I love the authors and the narrators, and I bought the whole series before I realized that. So I listen to them at night when I can't sleep, and (listening to books in general) this helps me fall asleep, so I undoubtedly miss some. I'm sure if you like dudes playing video games stories, you'll love it. I prefer where the characters are in the game or something like it all the time. Or even trapped in the game, like Life Reset by Kuznits. But I'll keep going with the series, the in game parts are interesting.
The action heats up as we do more and more of the team building quests and with even more surprises in store this is building up to me a great fight between certain characters to be the first person to 100 and the further events that shall unfold.
The group tries to find friend, rumoured to have gone bad, who takes them on a marry chase through most of the realms of the game. Fun and scary at times. Good read, waiting for the next book in series.
It's J.N Chaney. Need I say more? I haven't read anything but his books for 2 years. Having read Dragon stories for 30years I can honestly say the first book of his impressed me. Been here ever since. Nuff said.
I love an underdog and this book depicts the struggles of e Friday life and the hard work towards success while still doing the right thing. Really enjoyed.
Great for a book 3 and the epilogue was awesome. Just exactly what one is supposed to be. Wish the M.C. would get off his butt and hire the receptionist
