What do you do when the other side uses your son’s life as a negotiating ploy?

Mary and Senator Tad Williams will learn what it means to play hard ball. Can they play just as hard?

Amber, Nick, and Jacob now have the responsibility that came with their sudden decision to help a kid. Are they up to the task?

Justin is acclimating inside the world. Will his need to connect with another person extend to feelings for a fake character?

There is more going on here than dirty politics, questionable business ethics, and cutting-edge science that might kill.

Justin has to grow up or he may die. Can his mother ground him? Will his father help when more than a coma separates them?

Will Justin wake up from his coma? Will lobbyists crush the principled senator who needs to talk to his son one more time?

Can Justin survive in a fantasy world in his own mind where pain is real?

It isn’t just the future of humanity at stake. It’s Justin’s life, too.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond my expectations!!!

I usually have more trouble diving in and becoming immersed in a litrpg story. I don't know why since I used to love playing rpg/progression style games soooo much!

Maybe it's the narrator, Emily Beresford. She does an amazing job with the different characters and their voices with tone, pitch and the other nuances of their personalities.

Maybe it's Anderle which doesn't seem to know how to write a bad story. I love what he has done with this series. The characters and their histories and their steady growth in the case of being in the story longer... or still having the slightest of touches to the overall story if they were just "one hit wonders."
Then the we have the world building. And I am not just talking about the game itself. The overall picture of PIVOT Labs and their goals/aspirations is just so well crafted and diversified in its own small ways from the trope of saving a life with Immersive virtual reality.

This series will probably be the first one I actually finish, now that I think about it... it has grabbed me and I can't wait to get the next audiobook of it next week!!

But don't take my long-winded review when you can dive in and check it out for yourself!!!

This was a great book, even better than the first book. As the story unfolds, the reader grows closer to the main and supporting characters and the plot thickens. The plot is easily followed, but with all the side bars and twists anyone could ask for. I highly recommend this book and the first one.
