About this listen

Three days ago, Jack Mitchel saved his life. By dying.

He dodged a world-ending bullet—in the form of an extinction-level asteroid cannonballing toward Earth—by successfully uploading his mind into the brand-new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online. Unfortunately, he's also stumbled headlong into a secret conspiracy that will transform V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age.

Jack expected to live out his new fantasy life in peace, but now he and his misfit crew of rebels are the only ones preventing a tyrant emperor and his regime from taking power. Thankfully, everything isn't quite as hopeless as it seems—Jack has a plan. Sort of. With only a handful of supporters, he's going to get the jump on the bloodthirsty empire by snatching one of their key cities right from underneath their noses. In order to pull off the impossible, however, Jack's going to have to develop his formidable Shadowmancer powers, raid some ridiculous dungeons, and make some shady allies—allies who may be more dangerous than the empire itself.

brilliant read

As the world moves into factions it takes our innovative hero and a lot of guts to bring the newly spawned travellers into contention as a rebel faction is born and so the spirit of freedom and free choice gets a leader.
With such a charismatic and well written character as Jack Hunter brings us into a very interactive and innovative world again that u just wish was real. The Fights are well done as is the world building something that hunter is top of the class in within the LitRPG writing community. Paired with the talents of Taylor as narrator this audio can deserve no less than 5 stars and a dedicated fan to be born. Some series take a few books/audios to settle into but this has been a leader from the get go and it looks to continue this as i cant wait for further adventures to be listened to.

World building at its best

A good follow on to the first novel, same narrator as the first novel which is good. The characters continue to develop in more detail and the story continues to grip you and pull you in. Look forward to the third novel.

Good sequel!

The second book in a series like this is always telling - is the author actually capable of developing a compelling story and building on their world. The answer here is YES.

Hooked and looking forward to book 3!

Nailed it

A very nice developing main story to go along with some classic RPG style moments. If you've played MMOs or RPGs you'll love this.

Great litRPG and if anything better than book 1

Great second book! same problem as the 1st just not long enough, there is so much going on in the world so much to find out, you can definitely get sucked right into this world along with Jack talking about his choices and what's going to happen next. right on to the 3rd one for me!

Great! Just like the 1st

Love the story, struggled a bit albac in book 1 because if the first person narration, but the story won me over. I chose it because it was so highly recommended. I very glad I did.

Captivating

Written in the first person, the Crimson Alliance continues to chart the lives of Grim Jack and his new friend, Cutter, in the immersive game, Viridian Gate Online. A 'game' which is now Jack's life as there is no going back: not only has his body died in the real world as he successfully transitioned into the game but the whole of Earth's population is about to be destroyed by a cataclysmic event when a giant meteorite crashes onto the surface. But already Jack is unhappy with what he has found in this new life and has made a serious enemy. His only hope is to form his own faction before the final destruction of earth, hopefully with his old friend, Abbie. But she seems to have disappeared ...

With great characters and well written dialogue, this is the second in this fun LitRPG series which provides an intriguing storyline as well as battle action. Armen Taylor again narrates with warm enthusiasm and a consistently fine range of protagonist voices and accents, each individual and fitting. His pacing is also good and his overall performance enhances the written text.

An excellent follow up to Cataclysm, this book by James Hunter is one to be enjoyed not only by players of games but by anyone with a liking for fantasy and S.F. with a touch of both humour and adventure.But to get the fullest benefit from the story, first read the preceding book.
