About this listen
Nero is deeply in need of a bit of courage, but when a mysterious new friend offers guidance and training, Nero risks losing his mind.
New Lur is the ruins of a once-great city handed down to the humans by the technologically superior Erohsian race. This ramshackle town is also the home and playground of five carefree orphans. Well, four anyway. Nero endures irrational fear and night terrors while struggling to forge a bond with his happy-go-lucky foster siblings.
One day, they find five canisters containing Aether weapons engineered by the rebel group Catalyst. Several of the children unwittingly risk life and sanity by bonding with the essences within, thrilled to discover new powers. Nero tries to bond with an essence, as well but is overwhelmed by its will to exist.
When he comes to, the essence is gone, yet something is different... something new is present. Before he can ponder the consequences, the children discover the Erohsians descending on their town, looking for the weapons. With their home ransacked and their foster mom missing, the children must flee New Lur and cope with the tensions of an escalating race war. Along the way, they meet tricksters, slavers, a woman of uncommon abilities, and their champion, Sosimo. Through all, they must bond as a true family if they are to survive. One constant remains; Nero's nurturing yet treacherous friend from the canister.

Nero is slowly losing his friend. He will do anything to save them, even if the consequences are terrifying. Several years have passed since the orphans joined the rebel group Catalyst. As their training advances, they begin to contribute to the fight for equality. If the Erohsians were their only problem, life would be simple, but their reality is far from kind. Catalyst has a traitor and Iona is determined to find out who they are to protect what she now calls home. Nero on the other hand, is in over his head, dealing with more immediate problems.

Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him.

Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

He's also the only person in Avalon with a bag of high-tech spy gear, a solar-powered cell phone with intermittent signal back to Earth, a YouTube account, and a murderous wizard-emperor on his tail. So he's got a lot going for him.

Far from Earth, a new life awaits, and it promises the prosperity they've always wanted. But still, resistance stirs.

Trained from the age of 14, Ryn can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL - which is good when you’re not sure if a laser-wielding Neanderthal or an axe-wielding Viking is trying to make it through the Rift and into your world. But the teenager’s military conditioning and education have not prepared her for the boy who crosses through.

When the people of Blackmoor Cove begin to ask about his combat role, Jack discovers his odd Hero Class and finds that parts of his game interface are riddled with exposed coding errors. He quickly learns that the only way the town can grow and push back the unknown substance threatening to consume it is if brave Heroes venture into an infinitely high, ever-changing tower, kill bizarre monsters for their equipment drops, and then deposit those items into a special chest.

As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew was given access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he "slotted" his Xatherite and changed his fate: He gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker turned dungeon in a desperate bid for survival.

Good listen!
I enjoyed the story and the narration. It took about one minute to attune to a new-to-me narrator and I’m in awe at how well he brought the story to life. Great range of giving voice to so many characters with distinct voices. I’m looking forward to more books by either the author or narrator.
The overall theme of the book seems to be rising to the occasion and overcoming personal challenges. Comforting and inspiring in March of 2021.

I really enjoyed the attention to detail the author exhibited in this audiobook! I also enjoyed the fact that he read the prelude himself!
Kristian’s voice is very dynamic and I relished in listening to the direction he took the voices in!!
I highly recommend this audiobook

Exciting Story, great combo world of Scfi/Fantasy
In a brilliant combination of fantasy and scifi we follow young Nero and his friends on a journey of discovery in a magical world.
I am so excited for the second book, and cannot wait to see Nero and the crew grow into this world and into their powers even more!
Why would I recommended it?
-Characters: the characters are fun, individual, and have captivating interaction throughout the book.
The world: this a sci-fi fantasy crossover has much to explore including creepy forests and islands of ancient runes that (we hope) to explore more.
-Politics: The characters explore different cultures and conflicts, simple to grasp, compelling, yet effective in moving the plot. (and I'm rooting for the rebels)
-Audiobook Narrator: Consistent, wide variety of voices. I read some on my kindle and then began to listen to this audiobook, and Kristian Eros did a better job than my imagination in bringing the characters to life.
I'll be jumping right into book two. See you there 🖐️
