All Steve knows is that he’s apparently supposed to build a farm. At least that’s his only workable assumption. Given the number of farm-tools left to him. That and the massive number of sacks full of seeds.
Unfortunately, this isn’t even the strangest part of this new life.
Hidden inside the farm tools, Steve finds messages. Messages that appear in floating windows in front of him.
Messages from his past self, telling him that he’d already failed once.
But he has no idea what he actually failed at. Or how he can succeed this time.
Beyond all this, and unfortunately for Steve, the world just underwent a radical change. A change that’s going to have Steve fighting the undead, bandits, nature, and even himself. All while the world falls down around him.
And the only weapon he has is an axe.

This was quite an interesting journey through and through. Sure, Steve (Seville) isn’t always likable and does more than enough questionable things, but at the same time, he still has a heart and it’s often in the right place. His women are interesting too. In the course of the story though, most of them get hornier by the page.
Speaking of horny, the sex scenes are great. Too many money shots in my opinion, but many of them are enjoyable to read read about (as long as Nancy’s not in on it). To say they’re hot is an understatement.
The action’s pretty cool too. It’s usually brief, but it’s still intense and keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next.
The characters are interesting too. It’s a shame Nikki, Misty and his other wives are relegated to secondary characters by the second book. Nikki does play a larger role in the third though, which’s nice. Speaking of third, it was one of the most interesting books I’ve read. Not just in a trilogy, but in general. Talk about bittersweet. Right as he was trying to make things better in his own way, Zeus forced him to leave it all behind (against his will I may add). The ending’s tragic, but the second epilogue does offer a glimmer of hope. If there’re plans for continuing the trilogy, I’m completely on board.
My only gripes with the story, at least the third book, is that towards the end, it gets less and less interesting in some areas. A lot goes on, it’s easy to get confused about someone or an even that happened. The introduction of Zeus seemed a little random. I get the build up, but I would’ve never guessed Zeus to be the puppet master behind all this. The way the world is set up just didn’t invite that thought (at learn in me opinion). I also wasn’t sure if this was a software, or simulation of some sort at the end. There was a mention of stasis and something else too... Anyway, the ending throws a huge curveball. I won’t give it away, but you’ll be shocked for sure.
Remnant is one of those books that challenges you and your perception of the main character. He’s an anti-hero, most of them are and it really works. Bottom line, it’s quite an interesting read and I highly recommend it. So go ahead, check it out. You don’t know what or who you’ll find.
Book 1 was great. Book 2 was odd and concerning for the MCs relationships. Book 3 was the biggest tragedy I've ever intentionally read. The bonus epilogue was worth the cost of the book just for it. Got to read it. Got to hope for the future.
Book one and two were great. Book 3 was not bad at all either but man did it take you up and down a lot. The epilogue at the end really makes the point that I need to read the rest of the series so I fully understand the entirety of what is going on.
William D Arand keeps his Runnerverse saga going with Remnant: Compilation: The Road To Hell Books 1-3 Seville's origin story! Fantastic as always. Highly recommend.
A great addition to the overall universe. It fills in a lot of blanks that I'm sure all of us have been wondering about. As with the other series in the overall Sovereign universe it can be read independently of the other series. I was originally thrown off with the description of the book being about a farmer, but it all makes sense in the end. Honestly, this particular series is probably in the top three most important in the overall universe.
