Synopsis

A pandemic virus is burning through the globe. People are raging against the nationwide lockdown. One fear is infesting everyone’s mind…Is this how the apocalypse begins?

Wayne Kessler is a cog in a corporation called Immersiant. The company is trying to flood America with immersive reality devices that draw people into a fully simulated game world.

Wayne and his ex-girlfriend Nyla find out that the company’s technology came from the military. To investigate, they break into a secret facility and uncover a dirty secret—the technology is killing people. Soldiers are dying from the training simulations. When the National Guard quarantines the area, Nyla is captured and Wayne escapes.

To save the woman he loves, Wayne must get into the military’s training simulation system and level up by fighting the undead. Can he do it in time before it’s too late? Can he save her before the zombie pandemic tears down the city?

Path of the Berserker 3

★ 4.65

Rick Scott

A world destroyed. An axe to grind. And a path to infinite power. Welcome to my reality.

The prestigious Legionnaire’s Academy of Du Gok Bhong—an institution centuries old and one I never thought I’d qualify for, much less attendYet here I am, a Gold Bracket contender and 8th Tier Core Realm Cultivator, starship-bound to compete with the thousands of other tributes from the occupied colony worlds across the stars.

For most it’s a death sentence. For me, it’s my one chance to gain the imperial status I need to liberate the Earth and marry the girl I love.

It’ll mean facing the demons and monsters of the Hell Worlds and the powers of the Cursed Stars beyond. But even that pales compared to the princess-sized cougar who’ll stop at nothing to have me for her own or the dark god still gunning for my soul.

I’ll need to play my cards right to stay ahead of it all. To grow in strength and power all while outwitting my enemies plotting against me back home.

They say getting an education is a ticket to a brighter future, but in a place where only one in ten survive—will I have what it takes to make the grade?

No clue, but when comes to survival of the fittest, no way is a Berserker going to fold.

Path of the Berserker Book 3 is a progression fantasy novel that contains immortal cultivators, an oppressive intergalactic dynasty, rage-inducing imperial bureaucracy, magical spirit beasts, fantastical martial arts and one pissed off MC who’s sick of it all. Fans of western style cultivation fantasy, post apocalypse and Xianxia will enjoy.

War God’s Mantle: Ascension

★ 3.93

James A. Hunter

The gods walk again …

When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a routine mission off the coast of Cyprus, he was sure it was game over.

After surviving the crash and pulling himself onto the sandy shores of a long-abandoned island, however, Jacob unwittingly stumbles headfirst into the ancient ruins of a dead city. Unfortunately, he also stumbles into an age-old battle between good and evil—and he is now its newest recruit.

The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, the God of War, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. But Jacob’s arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the ravaging darkness at bay.

Now, with the help of a sacred gem containing Ares’ power, Jacob must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold. And if he fails, Hades will unleash his army of the damned and the world of men will fall, giving rise to an age of walking nightmares.

"You had me at mythology. You sold me at the crafting, game mechanics, great characters, and serious action. From start to finish, War God's Mantle delivers. Do not miss this book!" — Harmon Cooper, author of Fantasy Online and The Feedback Loop series.

Ivan Kal

The world has ended, and those worthy of it have received the chance for a new life in a new reality.
Zach grew in power and thrived in the post-Framework world. He became a respected leader, a shining example of what it meant to be good. But as the world ended, he had only one thought: to punish the monster that had killed the world long before the Framework ended it. Yet not even with his incredible power was he able to stand against the World Ender. His arrival in the new realty, the Infinite Realm, gives him the chance to grow stronger, to find the monster again—and make it pay.
Ryun survived the chaos after the arrival of the Framework by pushing harder than anyone else. He grew in power until he became the most powerful being that had ever walked the planet; but he is hated by the world, called a monster by all others, the World Ender. As the world ends and he steps into a new one, where people stronger than him have lived for centuries, he finds himself lost and without purpose. The only thing that had mattered to him had been lost to him long ago. He truly was the monster that people considered him to be, and he now finds himself wondering if this new reality has a place for someone like him—but he had never been one for lying down and dying without a fight. One world fell to his power, and another might follow.
