Seamus is facing life in prison without parole. While doing his time, he's given an option by the Department of Justice and the biggest virtual game maker around, Mindblown Entertainment. If he will help them test long-term immersion, he will get the chance to play the latest game from Mindblown - Alpha World. All he has to do is sign away his legal rights and sign an NDA.

He's the first gamer to be sentenced to life imprisonment in a virtual world. What could go wrong?

As LITRPG's go the themes that run through this story are definitely more mature. For the first 2/3 of the book I was taken in by both the excellent writing, and performance. It has a grittier feel than other novels of the same genre which I found appealing. The main character has both an interesting back story, which is well fleshed out, and a relatable outlook on life considering his experiences.

The last few chapters took an interesting turn... what the blurb should probably include is that there are VERY strong adult/erotic themes with fairly graphic descriptions of sexual acts including BDSM and a threesome.

Was not expecting that

some parts made me blush but it was limited and not overly present. the story has a nice pace with action, "action" and some good friendships made. I did think the intro to the world a bit long but the setting of the character did need it in hindsight so if you arent sure in the beginning. please keep listening its sooo worth it !!!

I love RPG-LIT as I'm a gamer myself I find these stories awsome and closing my eyes can imagine with near perfection the visual storyline that would scroll across my minds eye giving me an imersive deapth to the story. I would just like to mention as a matter of course that there are sexually explicit scenes in the storyline that may be unsuitable for minors and therefore with parental responsibility be suggested for children, apart from that this is the new dimension in storytelling I find refreshing and adept in the 21st century.

Great RPG-LIT story immersion.

Performance felt very flat to me, with not enough variance in intonation. The story was fun and compelling, though I'd predicted the ending from very early on.

Nice, if predictable
