Snow Storm were being uncharacteristically quiet about their new product, only releasing concepts, hints and grandiose claims about it, all that was known is it set in Outer Space, it is skill based and it’s the most immersive game ever created. Opinion was divided, is it vapour-ware, is it over-hyped, is it under-hyped, will it fail to deliver, will it be the best game ever created or will it be the worst game in history. Anticipation was at an all-time high, the streams, boards, vlogs and pages where all buzzing with excitement.

All Su knew is that she really really wanted to play it.

The Star Dragon

★ 3.57

Dante Doom

When the real world is threatened, it’s up to the players in a virtual one to save it.

Van Vanyushin doesn’t see the point in ever leaving the beautiful digital world of the game he loves—and for good reason. In the industrial wasteland he calls home, it is often the only way people can experience life’s simplest pleasures. But his allegiance to the game is tested when an ambitious CIA agent named Sang Ngo calls upon him to help as she goes undercover in the game to investigate Draco—the corporation responsible for creating the massively popular role-playing game Dragon Kings of the New World.

Sang is a gifted hacker who feels nothing but contempt for those who waste their lives in what she sees as a false reality…but when people start dying in the game, she must find out why. Van, a talented gamer, is her guide to navigate the world, level up their newbie characters fast and get into some of the most dangerous areas of the game. He dreams of becoming a pro gamer sponsored by Draco one day, but his partnership with Sang threatens to expose secrets from his past that could jeopardize those plans.

Now, they will have to put aside their differences to discover whatever—or whoever—is killing players, but the truth they find is darker than either of them imagined….

With pleasure and pain set to mimic reality, Dale must navigate the dangers of war, face his personal failings, and learn who his friends truly are.

The exciting new sub-genre LitRPG offers readers a glimpse into the near future when the boundaries between reality and virtual worlds become so blurred that what is real and what is simulated will become increasingly difficult to comprehend.

Emotions are chemical reactions in the brain; does it matter whether they are induced by stimuli from a physical world or a virtual one?

Nagant Wars is a LitRPG novel which will appeal to fans of science-fiction fantasy who enjoy speculative world building, a broad cast of characters, and action-adventure; while also exploring questions about the nature of reality.

The Gamester Wars: The Complete Trilogy

★ 4

William R. Forstchen

ALEXANDER THE GREAT. NAPOLEON. THE 47 RONIN. LONG DEAD, BUT THE FUTURE STILL RIDES ON THEIR SUCCESSES AT WAR!

First there was war, then there were wargames, growing more and more realistic until the games themselves surpassed war as mankind's most popular sport. But with no blood, guts, or glory, boredom began to set in and strategy lost its edge. Something was needed to bring fresh excitement to an old, old game. And so the past was mined for the greatest warriors and generals history had to offer: Napoleon, Alexander, the forty-seven Ronin, assassins from ancient Persia--all brilliant at either combat or at tactics and strategy.

It was just a game--until mock war turned real on an unimaginable scale, and only those legendary warriors could turn the tide...

Volper (Alpha Rome Book 1): LitRPG Series

★ 4.28

Ros Per

PLEASE NOTE: This book was already released on Amazon and enjoyed considerable success with LitRPG readers. However, the inadequate amateurish translation of the sequel ruined the reading experience for many of the author's fans. Which is why Ros Per now only entrusts his books to professionals, re-releasing this title and publishing all the following books of the series in a new translation done by Magic Dome Books.

As the years start running out, you often find that life has left you completely alone. This is what has happened to one military veteran who’s lived through many of history’s “flash points”. In order to inject some color into his final days, the former soldier signs a contract with a company that has developed a fully immersive virtual world.

Project Alpha Rome is a multi-level city plagued by endless wars between humans and mutants. You can play as either species. The best argument in favor of living here is the firepower and the reflexes of your weapons. Our hero chooses the nickname “Volper” and sets out on his path alone, preferring not to fall into the ranks of an existing clan.

Thanks to this strategy, he manages to spot things other players have missed, even in the simplest of locations, meaning he progresses much more quickly than they do. His attentive and reflective attitude to his surroundings prompts him to ask more and more questions about the purpose of the project. Why has Alpha Rome really been created?

Spring Mutiny

★ 4.13

Dawn Chapman

A new, fertile world. Exposed identities. Deep debt to a Mech Lord.

After escaping with the information they needed, Kyle and his team must plan their next move. While working hard to discover many things about himself, his shipmates, and his denti body, Kyle finds not one… but three stowaways.

An exotic female Kiain who helps him unlock his Kenosi potential, and a deadly Sitha mother protecting her young son. He doesn’t throw them out of the airlock, but pirate and monster infested space isn’t exactly the safest place to be raising a child.

Now fully exposed to their overlords, Kyle doesn’t hold back. He places a winning bid on several top tier Mechs in an obscure part of the galaxy. The final price leaves them with a mission they can’t afford to turn down: they need to rescue the daughter of the local Mech Lord.

Pitted against a heavily fortified base, they need to fight with everything they have to survive.

Spring Mutiny is book two of the four book Space Seasons series, a LitRPG sci-fi space opera set on another world with mechs, spaceships, levels, and… well… pure evil.
