Reboot

Afterlife Online, Book 1

By: Domino Finn

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James

Tad Lonnerman is having a crappy day stuck in crappy traffic late to a crappy meeting. On the bright side, his game development career is the only non-crappy thing he has going for him, so life isn't all bad.

At least until he dies.

Now Tad finds himself uploaded to a beta test of Haven, an unannounced hyper-immersive MMO where the dead have a second chance at life. It's not virtual reality, it's digital reality. A true afterlife online.

Except Haven isn't exactly blissful paradise. Tad bumbles into a pagan blood feud, crosses paths with fallen angels, and gets lied to by saints. His only allies? A frat boy with a penchant for dying and a pixie who won't give him the time of day.

Second chances be damned. All Tad wants is to return to his old life, and he'll do anything for the opportunity. Even make a deal with the devil.

Fantastic, hunmorous, creative LITRPG!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and excited to finish the series. If you like LITRPG style stories you should definitely give this one a listen, characters are easy to connect with and author did a wonderful job keeping the story interesting, had a hard time putting this book down.

Didn't know what I was missing

seen this one in my recommendation for a while was glad I got to listen.

the DR references were great reminded my of "we are legion"

as a sidenote the narrator is someone I first heard on a soundbooth production, with Jeff Hays and company

definitely going get rest of series

i liked it.

What can I say but, I liked it. And would definitely recommended. Especially like how the chapters were named.

Good story some funny parts to it.

Over all the story itself was a decent read compared to other stories in the same genere there were some rough parts but I will definitely consider the sequals to this book.

Amazing preformance, meh story

What made the experience of listening to Reboot the most enjoyable?

The narrator was amazing. He is the reason I didn't put the book down.

What could Domino Finn have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Everything seemed to happen to quickly and to easily. It broke my feeling of plausible deniability.

Pretty decent book.
Enjoyable story, and an engaging MC.
Well written, and narrated.
Finn wrote a good story.
James’s performance was great.

Overall the experience was well worth the time.

its a pretty cool perspective...

there were times where i was like... you really didnt ask that question already? or why didnt you ask this yet? or why why why why why... the main MC thought he was fine... but then you see the freak out moments... and you get it... but hes a little off lol... his room mate is a little off too lol and somehow the author makes it work lol. book one is an Oh My Goodness book because ... from 1-10, id give it an 8. the details, the playground drama, and a twist on rpg that gives you just enough to want more... and curious enough to buy book 2. lol. Go for it. The good guys piss you off. the bad guys piss you off lol. But there is so much meat in this sandwhich... that book 2 may have just enough mayo or oil, to help it go down smooth!

Worth the Listen

Good storyline, world-building, fairly typical LitRPG. Easy to keep up with and understand the narrator, Justin Thomas James, who did a great job keeping characters distinct. Looking forward to next in the series.

not my favorite LitRPG, but still pretty good!

This kind of reminds me of the first book in the Chaos Seeds series... lots of potential, but not quite as refined as I would have liked in the narration. If ever there was a subgenre where sound effects are needed, it's this one. the narrator does a decent job, but his performance would have been much improved if he didn't have to worry about leveling sounds and quest alerts.

solid "B" for a first book. I expect more in book 2.

I’m definitely equally as addicted to this new series as one can be!

Just as countless MMORPG’s have captured the hearts and minds of many of us, this series will have you staying up late and shirking your duties just for a taste of escape. Tad (Talon) is by far one of the most entertaining main characters I have experienced in my audible journey. One instantly empathizes with him and feels the twists and turns in real life as he does in this DR environment. Beautiful concept, excellent writing, imaginative storyline, and inventive use of the MMORPG genre.
