Morgan Mars is doing everything he can to protect humanity from alien invasion.

But even his new organization, The First Line of Defence, isn’t enough to save what’s already lost. Sectors are collapsing like dominoes as the aftermath of the 20th Cycle invasion leaves everyone trapped in the falling Sectors. No one knows what to do. No one, that is, except Nicholas Thistlebush. He has a plan to save Sector 6. The only question is, what will it cost him?

This book was not wat I was expecting. I was very much looking forward to the second book and seeing how the MC broke the game again while exploring his new island and planet. Unfortunately there was a second MC put in the book and this book was mostly to do with him. I enjoyed the story and understanding that it was probably necessary for the story to continue. I continue in this series just to star with a new MC, not a good start. I am not sure if I will continue with this series or not as it was just to different from the original.

Not what I was expecting.

This is a great book, we are introduced to a new player in the game who gains some badass powers. Following his journey of destroying everyone in the different clusters. He is smart makes good judgement calls and tries to do the right thing.
However, (no spoilers) the end was not the best. I feels kind of ... meh..

Should have been a side story

Benji delivers again. It was not what I expected but as always, entertainment was delivered. Thank you Kerei for all the good times.

I loved everything about it. Absolutely everything.

The narrator combo is amazing. The points of view were brilliantly done. The writing and narration are simply out of this world.

It was a very emotional ride. I was not prepared for such a heavy book. Definitely food for thought.

The narrators really brought it home. You can literally hear/feel the emotions. Godly.

Different from the first book? Yes. But I'd say it fit perfectly to the series.

Congrats to everybody involved in the project!

To the author - I love everything that you write! Please keep up the good work. I can't imagine broaching certain topics/ideas in such masterful manner without leaning on experience - so, I wish you all that is good!

Incredible

Benjamin Kerei has written another great book, it has a different tone and pace to his previous works, but still has the level of quality storytelling I have come to expect from him, Travis' performance is also as amazing as always. I really enjoyed this book, but, as you will see there is a major factor that prevents this being 5 stars for me.

It was so jarring starting this book, wanting to see a continuation of the story and not even meeting our original protagonist for several chapters. and the story from the first book is only nudged forward, what was setup before. I found myself wanting to skip ahead to get to the parts with Morgan in as mentioned it took sometime to happen.

All that said once you accept that this is a new story happening along side the main story. it's quite a compelling one. The new MC is likable and we see how his actions affect things and get to see life in and outside of the game from a new perspective.

I am going to listen to the story again with the new expectation and i hope I will get even more enjoyment out of it .
