About this listen

He was climbing the corporate ladder, now he's climbing the food chain.

Felix used to be a traveling salesman, drifting through the galaxy and hawking his wares. Used to be, that is, until a freak accident in an out-of-the-way system.

One rough landing later, Felix finds himself stranded on a wild, alien planet - front and center - in a deadly role he never auditioned for to entertain a secret audience.

The upside? A fellow passenger made it to the escape pod with Felix. With this reptilian stranger at his side, he’s not totally alone.

The downside? They don’t share a language. Worse, there’s not one scrap of survival know-how between them, and an ominous clawing is coming from outside the escape pod.

As if the struggle to avoid becoming lunch and finding some of their own wasn’t enough, an autonomous implant from an unknown source seeks to integrate them into the system.

I'm usually wary of LitRPG books in science fiction setting, but "Fresh Blood" pleasantly surprised me. It is well-written, well-paced and the story is both entertaining and believable. I would even go as far as calling it the best LitRPG I had listened to in the last year and I eagerly await the next part.

Outstanding

If you like Terraria, Conan Exiles or ARK: Survival, you'll love this book.

Fresh Blood had the feel of a cool, gritty survival crafting game: collect stone and timber to make an axe, use that axe to chop down a tree then use the tree to make a crafting bench (all while fighting off monsters). It had realistic edge that I enjoyed - killing creatures to survive isn't always nice, and it isn't always clean - and the characters made intelligent decisions (as opposed to ones just to further the plot).

Speaking of characters - it was great to see depth in the alien sidekick, and though the female characters were sparse, I was pleased to see them written as strong and kick-ass. No juvenile, forced romance plotlines in sight.

All in all, a great listen. I look forward to book two.
