Master of Puppets

Master of Puppets, Book 1

De: Eric Ugland

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

He thought he was ready for the apocalypse. Then it happened...

A Secret Service operative and dedicated survivalist, Special Agent Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario and regularly trained for them all.

He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so.

But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur.

He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders. Instead of falling back on known strategy, or making smart decisions based on, I don't know, logic, Del kind of just freaks out. Big time.

He knows he's got to get to the top of the tower he's in to find the wizard who presumably turned him into a living toy. Will the help of an academic rat and an exiled little dinosaur get him there? Doubtful.

But in all his failing, in all his traipsing around as a silly little red doll, Del starts to realize how ridiculous his life as a prepper actually was. After all, what's the point in surviving if you have no one to live for?

Master of Puppets is the first book in an all-new LitRPG adventure by Eric Ugland, bestselling author of The Good Guys series. Strap in for an immersive adventure full of quests, powerful magic, tower climbing, leveling up, wise-cracking landlords, and murderous cookies.

Loved it

I always get excited for a new release from Eric Ugland he never disappoints to deliver amazing stories!
This book was no different would recommend every time to anyone looking for a great book.

Fresh and fun and interesting

It is pleasant to see new work from Eric in a new setting, with great storytelling, and literary structure that I have come to expect from him. I look forward to the second book in the series.

Great Start to a New Series

I really enjoyed this first installment of Master of Puppets and can’t wait until the next is released! Great characters, excellent voice acting, and an awesome world!

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the second book in the series.

Overall a Pretty Funny Read

If it wasn't for the humor in this book my rating would be less positive. At first the book seems to be a typical LitPRG story but thankfully without all the, to me, boring, repetitive, renditions of the character's Stat sheets to which I admit I only slightly pay attention. But by severely limiting these unnecessary parts and by injecting a healthy dose of humor to them, and to the various characters ' actions, statements and thoughts, the book clearly differentiates itself from many others of that genre. As a result, the book brought a lot of laughs throughout and made some, surprisingly, pithy insights into many of the foibles found in today's interpersonal relations.

As the first in what is meant to be a continuing series, Master of Puppets has definitely left me awaiting the next in the series and introduced me to both an author and narrator who I will follow in the future.

Great Author, wrong story

Im actually sad that it didn't work out. Everything was just a bit off and it never really worked for me.

Is there such a thing as too much dialogue?

I loved the concept of the story and the characters but admittedly saw myself fast forwarding through what felt like unnecessary dialogue that dragged on.

Great!

Another amazing book by Eric Ugland! Sounds a little goofy at first, but trust me when I say it is absolutely fantastic!

A hint of vanilla

Oats are strong! Fear the Crumble
At first I wasn’t sure what was going on, but after the first few hours it was starting to make sense. Need to somewhat take yourself out of the Vuldranni perspective.

very unsusal, not unlike Alan Dean Foster

I have read every book available by Eric Ugland, this one is Great like all the others, very unique perspective with a gripping story line, the narration is top notch I would recommend this book to anyone
