Synopsis

Jason has detention. Again. And on the release day for the biggest game since the inception of virtual reality: Awaken Online. It is being touted by its beta testers as the most amazing gaming experience ever created, with all-new technologies providing a direct connection to the user’s mind. Hopefully, Jason can survive the private high school minefield of bullies and extra strict teachers so he can get to play AO.

May the Darkness consume you

After reading all of Travis' Awaken Online books and listening to the Audible versions, I find it hard to choose a favourite. But as a famous nun said, the beginning is a very good place to start! The whole series is great, each book building on the previous and all of the characters are compelling. Though only the first episode is currently available, if the quality continues as in the first, it will be a fantastic ride!

I have read these books four times over and this production captures everything I love of them right from the start. I genuinely hope this continues beyond the first book and into the greater story of the entire series! Excellent work!

Incredible Artistry All Around

From the actors to the composer and sfx artist - every single detail is well thought out and executed with precision by a team of incredible artists. Obviously a perfect team effort…and Ryan’s fierce, just the best ever (this is definitely not Ryan reviewing his own ****) 🤓

Well-crafted and addictive!

That was smooth. You slipped this release into the credit's of DCC S03E09. I wasn't even looking for a new audiobook, but now I'm hooked. I can hardly wait for next week's release. SBT is like a drug. It's seriously addictive.
