Призрачный Сервер #2
The Outlaw (Phantom Server: Book #2) LitRPG series
The Eurasia fleet has entered the Darg star system. The unsuspecting players look forward to the adventure of their lifetimes. Zander alone is now facing a harsh and unpredictable "alternative storyline".
The girl he loved is gone. His nervous system is impregnated with artificial neurons that contain fragments of ancient AIs and their identities. Zander's body is implanted with alien artifacts that allow him to survive in the deadly cyberspace of Phantom Server. But his unique development branch pushes him toward the edge of the precipice where his every step may become his last; where future itself is vague and uncertain.

About the author
Andrei Livadny
89 books134 followersAndrei Livadny is a popular Russian science fiction author. Born on May 27 1969 in the city of Pskov, he was an avid reader from an early age. But it was the Russian translation of Robert A. Heinlein's The Orphans of the Sky that decided his choice of future occupation. The story has become a pivotal moment in the boy's life, leaving a lasting impression on him.
Andrei wrote his first book at the age of eight. Since then, he's never stopped working on new books. His passion for science fiction has gradually become his career.
In 1998, Andrei debuted in Russia's leading publishing house EKSMO with his novella The Island of Hope. Since then, he has penned over 90 books that have enjoyed a total of 153 editions.
Andrei has created several unique worlds, each unlike the previous. He wrote A History of Our Galaxy with humanity itself as a protagonist. This sixty-book series creates a history of our future civilization and its contacts with alien races, forming a convincing and logical picture of humanity's development for two millennia from now.
Andrei's recent involvement with the bestselling genre of LitRPG - books set in online roleplaying games - inspired him to create his most intriguing series to date, Phantom Server. Merging virtual reality with hard science fiction and space exploration, the two first books of the series, Edge of Reality (Phantom Server Book #1) and The Outlaw (Phantom Server Book #2) are now available on Amazon, prompting a reviewer to call Andrei "one of the best new authors in American Sci Fi translated from Russian".
Besides hard science fiction, Andrei Livadny also works in cyberpunk genres which allow him to focus on human relationships and raise questions about artificial intelligence and identity uploading, describing cyberspace as humanity's future environment.
The English translation of A History of Our Galaxy will be available shortly. Check the author's Russian-language site for updates.

Notes:
The core ideas are interesting but the plot events are not engaging. Low end of 3 stars.

I enjoyed the journey this book took me on. This was even better than the first. It moves the story along and develops the characters very well. The biggest problem I have with this and many other translated series is that it just doesn't come out fast enough! I really do love these LitRPG books.

Another well written book. The character progression is interesting as well as the overall plot line. There are some very interesting twists and I am looking forward to see where it is going.

Very good sequel to the first book 4.5/5, the twist at the end was well done by being partially foreshadowed but not to the point of OBVIOUS twist.

There were several things I didn't like in this book but it was still an interesting read. Hoping the third novel in the series resolves some of these issues because the setup for the following novel was quite good and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Lost some points as it wasn't as exciting and all-new as the first book, but well made up for it with both the cool, new skills and the final reveal at the end!

This volume continues seamlessly where volume 1 leaves off. The entire series could have been released as one large book, but well, the author and publisher make more money splitting it up apparently. Oh well, it's still worth it.
Preventing me from granting 5 stars is not the quality of the material, so much as the breadth. The scenes are a little bit overlong, with fewer new venues being explored. That said, the action is fantastic and vibrantly described. It's not a universe I'd want to find myself in, but is fabulous to read about.
