About this listen

In just seven days, the world will crumble. The System's Descent will usher in a new era of chaos: wild animals mutating, monstrous creatures emerging, and the cessation of modern technology. Humanity will be left defenseless.

Drew Wright knows none of this. At least not until he is rudely ripped from his bed and thrust into a white room to undergo a taser-happy ‘Tutorial’. Turns out, he is one of a thousand randomly selected people to be forewarned of the approaching apocalypse. Now, he faces the delightful task of convincing his wife and mother of the devastation hurtling towards them.

As the System’s Descent draws near, Drew scrambles to prep supplies, fortify his home, and drag his elderly, TV-addicted mother away from her ‘shows’ long enough to listen to him. With monsters knocking at the door, how far is Drew willing to go to save those closest to him?

The dead rise to combat the encroaching darkness as Drew Wright taps into the only power that might save his loved ones—becoming Earth’s first Necromancer.

I received a free copy for an honest review.

Overall I enjoyed listening to this adaptation of the book, but I did find it initially a little slow to get going and draw me in. It is always easy for the listener to pass judgement on something well beyond my capabilities to do, but I think I preferred the kindle version over the audible - could be because I already have in my minds eye images of the characters? Hence the four stars.

Spoilers:
That said things I did enjoy was the naming of Spock and his character development (now I would buy a side story just about him and his demons chickens!). I also like show the author let a significant character bite the bullet and the main MC mother character is so well developed and convincing! The build a base and survive is a common theme, but there was enough variation to make the story interesting.

The narration was great, but then the narrator has a good reputation

A little slow to start but worth sticking with.

Loved the fact he had a heads up and he could help his family and friends and already transform them in to the main cast. MC sounded genuine and realistic.

look forward to book 2.

Classically unique

liked how both the main character and the story progressed. Just think the side characters could have been more interesting.

Great world building

A damn good start to the series. Fun characters with good doses of humour and no faffing about, the main character gets on with it and is clearly on his way to being a badass necromancer. Excellent voice work too.

Hell yeah

I really liked a lot of things about the book. The premises for the system and possibility for advancement. Some of the choices made by the author doesn't make sense. You get invested in some character that feels like they are going to play some parts as they are mentioned early on and given names and backgrounds, and then it's like they don't exist anymore. I don't want to give away any spoilers. I'll be getting book two when it gets released.

Interesting story

Genuinely entertaining and funny. This story started a little awkwardly but that soon changed as characters were developed and the scale of the story unfolded. I look forward to the next book! The voice acting is superb.

Imaginative and Entertaining

I received a free copy for a honest review.

Firstly, this book is very well written. It contains an amazing plot, fleshed out characters, interesting side characters with realistic interactions and a good MC with a decent class and power set.

I really enjoyed the book, at first it felt like a slog, but, after some reflection that was because the story doesn't contain the typical Super power levelling OP MC which turned out to be an anazing thing. It was refreshing listening to a character build themselves up with a grain of luck and not the ounces seen in other books.

This book gives me 'the walking dead' kind of survival vibe. It's hard, it's not a walk in the park, some fall but all characters are indivuals. They bring their own flavour to the story which adds to the plot.

I cant wait for the second book!!!

It's a must listen for all

Best writing, realistic apocalyptic story

this is one of the realist ways I've seen people react to if the world just suddenly became like an an RPG.

Everything about it to the humor, the characters and the effects its having on people and the realistic way people would react I was surprised just how well done and solid this story started, an example being how in a real scenario like this being all damage dealer is a bad idea if you have the vitality of a biscuit in tea, battles are quick and the MCs compassion for other but always putting his family and friend first is heart warming.

I'm extra suprised by Christian J Gilliands range in voicing the female characters. I hope this author does well for a book 2.

Genuinely a good book.
