Gene Harvest

A LitRPG Adventure

By: Joshua Rettew

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

Benny White had been having a rough couple of years, and the approaching apocalypse wasn’t exactly helping.

Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate.

But hey, it's not all bad news. Benny’s experience as a lab tech grants him a rare Splicer Class that lets him repurpose the genetic material of slain enemies into augments for himself. Bone claws, blood-bullet turrets, and maybe a skeletal hydra head or two are just a few of the additions to his gory arsenal.

Then there’s his Flesh Golem summon, a six-foot mound of muscle and sinew called Meat. That lumbering monstrosity might come in handy, just as soon as it stops walking into trees…

The stage has been set. The contestants have been chosen. The entire galaxy is watching.

Welcome to the Game of Souls, where the only prize is to survive.

Great story

Crossing my fingers that this is one of those special books, books that the next one shows up online a week after the first. This has happend before, I cannot wait for the next one. I am satisfied with my purchace

Holy crap its freaking awesome

right from the start out with a bang and took off from there. loved all the characters and story so much I couldn't put it down. highly recommend this one and can't wait for the next book

wish I wouldn't have waited

way better than i thought. Benny is not perfect and learns some hard lessons in a hard way, but the story is very good and I want book 2 asap. looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Wonderful, leaving me wanting more

It’s good. It’s great really, but yeah I’ll just leave it at that. Shout out to Dave, the friendly eldrich horror

the unique story line

unique story that keep your attention and so many different emotions. disliked how often the mc checked the stats. maybe make stats optional in next book. but otherwise great story.

Great First Book

So this book certainly has some ups and downs, but it all makes for a great story. The humor was very amusing and the ending made me laugh a lot. I look forward to the next book in series.

Unique in the Best Way

This is one of the most unique LITRPGs I have read. The class the main character has is super interesting and the different sub-races are also very creatively thought out. Even from the way his summons develope throughout the book it is just refreshing for a new idea. I was super impressed at this being the authors first book and I cannot wait to see where this story goes in the future as I am absolutely sold on this story!

Very good power system!!!

Powers are very unique and explained very well , but also contradicting and confusing
Can’t wait for next book.

Amazing! Homerun!

This book was a delight and unique in its own way. I love that the author went with the genre and made their own of it. It is truly amazing and I can't wait for more. I hope the author takes their time and works at their own pace. If so I'm sure every book of this series will be amazing! Please give it a try!

Great book

Very nice book and I really like the summons part. It kind of reminds me of a game called Geneforge I played when I was younger.
