Synopsis

Lee and Jak’s world is about to change. Strange things are happening – street lights not working, computers acting strange, cellphone randomly displaying timers…

Then at noon, it happened. A strange message appeared in the air in front of them.
System Initiation Complete. Welcome to the Multiverse! Your planet has now been integrated into the system. Please review your status screen and familiarize yourself. If your health drops to zero you die. Good luck!

Then came the monsters…

How will Lee and Jak survive in this new world? What is the strange light surrounding the Gilbert water tower? Are their friends and family alive?

The duo must get stronger, learn how the system works by capitalizing on their rare classes and skills to become OP, save Gilbert, and then find a way (without technology) to travel to far off Albuquerque to rescue Lee’s daughter and Jak’s sister Marie.

Magic is real now, so maybe that will help…

Progression

★ 4.50

Dave Willmarth

Allistor, now both a Planetary Prince of Earth, and Emperor of Orion, and faces a new set of challenges. Thrust completely unprepared into the realm of interplanetary politics, he must navigate the pitfalls of dealing with more powerful races and factions.

At the same time, he strives to continue his mission to strengthen the human race. To bring other survivors into the fold, and claim as much of the earth as possible for humans. Class trainers must be found if his people are to have a proper chance to grow and thrive.

Hard choices have to be made. New and deadly enemies surface, and friends are lost. Allistor's acquisition of a particular artifact places a target squarely on his back. And behind it all, the Ancient Ones continue to meddle in Earth's affairs.

The High Auction

★ 4.69

Misba

In the near future, a machinist, a monk, and a mesmerizer are looking for the Source of the universe, but among the ancient scriptures, they only find the devil …

Few humans in the future find the secrets of what words and sounds can do, for the Apocalypse and war led them to evolve in mind and physique. Two of them end World War III with just a speech. Some say they did a mass-hypnosis. Others say it was their voice and will.

Fifty years later in South-Asia, KUSHA, a twenty-three-year-old machine-geek with social awkwardness and amnesia, tries to get the Devil’s Book with secrets of voice.

In a society that worships the evolved High-Grades with voice, how you speak and which words you talk with is important. As someone who finds all solutions in books, Kusha thinks the secrets in the three-foot-long, ancient book will teach her to speak mesmerizingly. She believes it will help her evolve. So, she decides to attend the auction where the book will be sold. But there's a problem. Her idol of voice and everyone's beloved war heroes, YUAN and RUEM, are also after it for power.

The Cheat Code

★ 4.73

Misba

After the terrible encounters with the war heroes, the Intuitionist, Kusha, is on the verge of breaking all promises she gave to her friends and family. Worse: both the war heroes might become aware of her power—her intuition, for she is their shortcut, for she is their cheat code. Both the Mesmerizer and the Monk need cheat codes to win at their games.

The Devil’s Book awakened the spirit of the Dancing Goddess. While the Monk, Yuan, might discover Prachin Nritya—the oldest of the oldest dance, which he thinks is the first language of humanity—the Intuitionist, Kusha, sees the dancing goddess in her dreams. Her purpose calls her, but she has her life to deal with.
She gave her adoptive father a word that she will focus on her Career Exam. She told her friend, Haley, that she would join her in the race that’d help Haley be a citizen. She also has her promises to keep with Magic Mama.

In a world of voice where High Grades are proud to never lie, a promise made verbally is stronger than a red seal on handmade paper. Being not evolved, being an improper human, in a very proper world, making promises might become a burden. Kusha wants to keep her promises. She wants to have a normal life, staying a citizen with a good job at Alphatech—a tech industry that offered sponsorship for her Career Exam.

But it’s also the Alphatech that the Monk owns. The Alphatech that the Mesmerizer, Ruem, founded with the Monk decades ago. The Alphatech with era’s best research labs that Ruem now wants back for his larger goals. A mess awaits Alphatech, but Kusha needs the job. Even though she doesn’t want to encounter the war heroes again, she might. She can’t let her power fall into the wrong hands. So the Intuitionist must make good use of her situation and get the best outcome.

The Passage

★ 4.05

Justin Cronin

IT HAPPENED FAST.
THIRTY-TWO MINUTES FOR ONE WORLD TO DIE, ANOTHER TO BE BORN.

First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.

As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he's done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered apocalypse. Wolgast is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors, but for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey—spanning miles and decades—toward the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun.

With The Passage, award-winning author Justin Cronin has written both a relentlessly suspenseful adventure and an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger. Its inventive storytelling, masterly prose, and depth of human insight mark it as a crucial and transcendent work of modern fiction.
