Alex Sheppard returns to the real world only to realize that it’s game over for him. At the age of sixteen, he’s destroyed the carefully laid plans of the most powerful people in the world, incurring their wrath. Now they’re thirsting for his blood, and they know where to find him.
The criminal Triad, the two-faced Cartel, the hypocritical preventers were child’s play, nothing more. But he has to operate outside the law now his sworn enemies rule the planet.
And Alex has a score to settle they killed his friends, and he’s hungry for revenge. The hour of reckoning is drawing near, and the retribution of the Sleepers is unfolding.
Dan Sugralinov grew up in a small working-class town on the Russian border with Kazakhstan. It’s a miracle he survived his childhood games of hide-and-seek in the surrounding building sites complete with perilous rebar structures and flooded foundation pits.
Ever since he learned to read at the age of five, he couldn’t put a book down. Reluctant to earn himself the name of a conceited nerd, he concentrated on playing soccer which allowed him to become friends with the town’s toughest kids.
In 1995, he graduated with honors, entering the St Petersburg Academy of Engineering and Economics where he studied business creation. He must have done something right because in the years that followed, he first worked on TV and radio just to get the taste of it, then opened his first successful business followed by several more. In between, he started writing and playing video games, winning the St Petersburg Mortal Kombat championship and becoming runner-up for Starcraft and Warcraft 3. He is a 14-times champion in Quake, Quake 2 and Quake 3 as well as the world’s ex-#1 in the World of Warcraft.
In 2004, he wrote his first motivational novella The Bricks which to date has garnered him over 3,000,000 readers online alone.
In 2014, Russia’s leading publishers of business literature Mann, Ivanov & Ferber published a revised and extended edition of his book, The Bricks 2.0.
In 2015, Dan discovered the existence of LitRPG. He devoured everything that had been written in that genre until he finally decided he too could write similar books.
In summer 2017, he published his first book in the subgenre of realRPG: Level Up.
Dan Sugralinov is a consummate gamer, a multiple MMORPG champion and the world’s ex-#1 in the World of Warcraft. He is also a successful businessman and author of books on marketing and business organization. His first LitRPG series Level Up took Russia by storm in 2017. Its English translation is about to be released on Amazon.
New twist puts our mc into another impossible situation. Non-stop action (tragedy?) keeps you glued to the pages cheering our hero to overcome the next impossible task. Great storytelling.
As the title says this is an advance copy review and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.
Je ťažké čítať s odstupom času 11. diel po tom množstve zvratov, ktoré sa udiali v doterajšom priebehu. Na jednej strane boli posledné dve časti takou odbočkou, po ktorej sme sa vrátili späť k hlavnému dianiu, na druhej strane sme späť k nevraživom svete, kde sú ľudia (opäť) kvôli peniazom a sláve ochotní urobiť čokoľvek. Už ostáva len uzavretie.
Yet another book where the enemies get bigger up the food chain and Alex, as Scythe, gets trapped in a zone he has to escape. I have to imagine this series is nearly at its conclusion. Much as I enjoy it the formula is wearing a but thin.
