Amazon Apocalypse

By: Marvin Knight

Narrated by: Jack Douglas, Jessica Threet

My best friend warned me about the end of the world.

Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure.

Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse.

Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System.

That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

But long before the System arrived, she vanished, leaving behind only a strange token that now dangles around my neck.

Yet, her parting words stayed with me. The System was bound for Earth. And when it came, I'd be ready for it.

I would triumph over this System and the new world it brought with it. And then, perhaps, I'd see my friend again.

From the author of Paladin of the Sigil and the Spellheart Series, delve into this thrilling LitRPG Apocalypse and prepare for the end of the world, teeming with monsters, magic, and lovers aplenty. Coming to a universe near you!

eBook Review

Seriously I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it to anybody reading this review. I don't remember exactly how I came across this author originally but I have gone through all of his spell heart books. I can't wait for the next one of those to come out. I'm trying to catch up on his Paladin one which I believe is now finished. I had heard that Amazon apocalypse was a new one that he was working on. Here at the back of the book it states that he's been working on it for approximately 2 years and the sequel is set for 6 months later which would be February 1st of 2024. He did state so that date would be the latest it would be out. There is some possibility that the sequel could be out sooner which would be awesome. Our story takes place on what appears to be contemporary Earth prior to the Apocalypse initially. Our main character has a lady best friend as he's growing up until one day she disappears only to reappear once more briefly to warn him of the pending apocalypse. The system is coming to Earth and with it a lot of death and destruction. There was definitely surprise halfway through the book which was pretty interesting it when my opinion as it sorta kind of gave a Peak behind the curtains. The book was a fairly good size in comparison to those that I normally read for entertainment. That being said now that I'm at the end of the book I'm definitely hungry for more and kind of bumped out that I have to wait for the sequel. I definitely hope that the book gets the audiobook treatment and that the narration team is the top notch performance Duo. Lastly I'm simply going to say Well done to the author and anybody else who had a hand in bringing this story to us, the Amazon readers.

Audio Book Update

I'm overjoyed that the book received the audio treatment. To be perfectly honest it is my preferred form for storytelling as it allows me to enjoy entertainment no matter where I'm at or what I'm doing with a few exceptions. The narration team executed a fantastic performance in my opinion. They are definitely on my top ten list of all time favorite narrators. My praise over the book has not changed one iota from when I first went through the story in eBook form. I am still very excited for a sequel which appears to still be on track for the aforementioned release date. Amazon and by extension Audible get a little temperamental when other sites or companies are mentioned, but there is a certain website that allows authors to draw funding directly from supporters and in return usually put-up early chapters along with artwork occasionally. This author also uses that service and as of the time of this review the first 46 chapters of the sequel are available. Lastly, I'll simply say a round of applause for everybody who had a hand in bringing this story to us, the audio book listeners.

A real fun read

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The only downside was the audio mix between the two narrators was off a little bit so that’s a female lines were noticeably quieter than the male lines but not so much so that I couldn’t listen to the book

Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Definitely a good choice. I haven’t been this invested in a book in a while so I can’t wait to read book two.

love story line!

love the prequel , wish more note as to women's levels with all the up and down moves they make

Audio Mixing is Bad, Book is Good

If you like Marvin's stuff, this is another one. It moves along at a brisk clip and is an enjoyable story once it really gets going. But the audio mixing really lets this one down. Jessica is about half the volume of Jack, so one min you will be unable to hear dialogue, the next you will get exposition that blows out speakers.

Great story

So far a fantastic story. I am loving the actors doing the voices I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to put a toe into this kind of book for the first time.

Great First Boook

Loved listening to this story, reminds me of Defiance of the Fall, but with a bit more romance. The narrators did an amazing job. Looking forward to the next book.

The fact that the villains came across as actual threats.

I really enjoyed the storyline. I can't wait for book 2 to make it to audiobook.

Wow just wow

The first third of the book could have been a book by itself. Great plot all the way through with a reluctant MC who makes tough decisions.
Great action, nice romance, wicked villains.

very well made RPG story

love the subtle integration of the RPG system implementation. made it feel more and more life like especially how they make the main guy more super human. the three ladies were well written as well there transformation from how they started and who they end up being at the end of the book is a great touch as well.
