This series begins two months after the apocalypse has struck Earth in the form of a nanite plague that wiped out most life on Earth and let the remaining humans struggling in the remnants of civilization with no working tech and monsters, created by the plague, all around. The story starts with two college students struggling to survive, and a third who comes upon them, discovering a damaged alien ship and figuring out how to fly it. This was a fun and fast Sci-Fi, LitRPG ride with non-stop action. The ensemble cast was well developed and, while dark, I very much enjoyed the universe and all of the different systems and species.
If you enjoy LitRPG, this is a great addition to the genre. Bonus, the complete boxed set is one credit, and is narrated by the awesomeness that is Jeff Hays.
