Summary

The Earth has changed. War is now fought in an alien virtual reality - the Game - where many of the players are anything but human.

Now part of the Black Rose guild, Alan heads to the Academy to level up and get stronger. He hopes to make allies and learn skills to win the battles to come. But with everyone pursuing their own agendas, what can one gamer do in a universe he still doesn't fully understand?

Great twists

When I picked up this book and saw it will be about the war I didn't think I'll enjoy it as much as the first one. I was positively surprised. It managed to keep the story interesting and I loved the twists. There were some things I didn't see coming. All in all...love it!

Excellent series

Fantastic book, every bit as good as the first in the series, and listened straight after finishing the first. Can't wait for the next one!

A perfect follow up

If you enjoyed the first then you will enjoy the second, plenty of interesting turns in the story and can’t wait for the next in the series!

Clever, engaging, funny, exciting and surprising.

Everything good sci fi should be. Kept me guessing until the end and plenty of scope for more books.

Another epic installment

I was expecting a party of five, Alan, kitana, sidestep, etc to go on some quests and dungeons for loot and levels, but instead the story took a much larger more interesting route and it was great.
It was a little less 'gamey' than the first but as the ground was already set this wasn't a bad thing.
I genuinely can't wait for more.

Non stop entertainment!

The second installment of Yap's 'The Game' is even more gripping than the first. I'm not a gamer myself - the story is standalone entertaining and so appropriate to a broader action and Sci -Fi/fantasy junkie audience. This story draws you into a multi faceted, complex universe with rich characters and abounding plot twists - the next installment can't come soon enough.

A good continuance of the story

The story and characters continue to pull you along. I think what I like best about it is the frequent surprises. The author does a good job of writing events with results that aren't what you might expect.

A truly gripping series!

By far the most immersive RPG series I have read this decade. Thee authors attention to detail is impeccable and succeeds in capturing the quintessential nuances of the genre. Thus is definitely one to read to the end, hopefully there will be many more additions.

Love the universe that's being built. However....

So I love the universe being build. The performance and the story are amazing and I've grown to like a few more of the characters as they are being developed more. However, the one issue with this series not necessarily just this book is that it seems like it's taking forever. I almost feel like we could have made the first two entire books into just one. Our main character is a badass but is still a noob in many ways. So few things seemed to have happened by the end of book 2. Still very interesting and a good story but it seems like we won't get anywhere until like book 6.
