Edge of Eons is a fun Gamelit/Fantasy novel with great narration a decent story and pretty good characters. My main complaint is the main character Roy who was a police officer seemed a bit inconsistent and really foolish at times or at the very least very undisciplined.
The story follows Roy who is a cop in Phoenix City in a futuristic earth. He has a chip implanted in his head that is kind of like the terminators and lets him scan others and gives him tips on other peoples strengths, weakness’s etc. Very early on in the book he is killed in the line of duty while trying to catch potential cop killers, he gets himself killed by rushing into the situation without giving much thought or being very careful which seems to be a theme from him throughout the book which is my main issue for someone who seems like he should be smarter and more disciplined than that. After this death he is transported to another world where he ‘wakes up’ and finds himself in a vastly different world filled with many dangers.
In this world of Eon he must level himself up which in classic RPG style is done by killing monsters, fighting, training and leveling up. It turns out he was brought to this world by a God and is expected to make himself strong enough so he can become one of his champions for an upcoming battle/reckoning with other gods. The chip that was implanted in his head from earth is very useful in this world by being able to give Roy info on the world, his enemies and help him with learning skills and his training much quicker than the native inhabitants can. Roy quickly falls in with a small guild the Sky Wolves and they take him under their wing, some of them a bit reluctantly and help him find his place in this world.
Their are adventures and battles with monsters and enemies and a good amount of action. The narration by Andrew Tell was very good and really helps the story out. I have read/listened to a couple other books he has narrated and must say I am a fan as he has done a great job on all of them and is reason enough to give the book a listen.
I am interested in seeing where future installments of the series go and if they will continue to follow Roy or if they will switch up to the other character that was teased at the end of the book or if he will just be an addition.
