Synopsis

From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of the Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—comes Apex, the third book in the epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure.

Life comes at you fast, and no one knows that better than Mark Fields. In less than two years, he’s gone from a lowly dishwasher to an empowered soldier, gained new powers and friends, and survived the deadly Exlian aliens in the wilderness.

And now, he’s a prisoner.

Framed for murder and thrown into the deadly Tomb, forgotten and alone—no master, no team, no friends save the enigmatic cat Mime—Mark can only rely on himself … and the strange voice that whispers inside him.

For it’s kill or be killed in the Tomb, and Mark must face both who he truly is and who—or what—he’s willing to become in order to survive.

Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her Station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion—all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret—one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life—or rescue it from annihilation.
