Resumen del Editor

A portal back to Earth. Disappearing AI. The final battle has begun.

After living inside a video game for months, Clay now has the rare chance to log out. The only problem is: the game's AI guardians have run off to Earth themselves. The fate of all reality now hangs in the balance.

With new powers and a new mission, Clay and his pals have three days to trek across post-apocalyptic Earth and recapture the runaway AI guardians. If they fail, both worlds online and off will cease to exist.

Are you ready to log out?

Many annoying issues

It really gets annoying when every single time play should be hurrying up to do something he’s sitting there rationalizing crap in his head until somebody tells him to hurry up and do what he’s supposed to do and then he goes oh that’s right I need to do this like a total idiot. I mean how stupid is this character. also Chip is really annoying.

sloppy

I loved the rest of this story, but this one seemed sloppy. Predictable rushed plot line, too fast when it came to encounters. All said it was a good story, just could use polishing

Just Such A Great End To A Series!

I just loved this last book! It really made shade the mvp of the team because how funny he is in this story! I mean without him then this finale installment would be really boring to say the least!

great series!!!!!

this series was really fun to listen to and really sucks you into the world.. the ending was pretty good but it felt a bit rushed. don't let that stop you though. also the narration was pretty dang good as well.

It was stupid

I made it. I know most people were smarter and ditched the series sooner but I got the books for "free" with my subscription and I have a high tolerance for certain types of stupid so I didnt hit the wall until about an hour and a half left, at which time I almost just quit listening, but i didn't. I was hoping for some revelation that would make it make sense, but there is none.

I have a lot to say about the stupid story and plotholes and the like but spoilers are not good for reviews, so I will say. The motivation for the main video game bad guys makes no sense. The apocalypse that happens in the "real world" is stupid and would only make sense if that too was some type of virtual reality. I was hoping maybe that would be a reveal or maybe this was some AI attempted takeover or something, ANYTHING. But naw, it was stupid on stupid and just ended with cherry on top stupid.

BTW what happened to the two guys in the bunker? (they were as forgotten about almost as much as the igit main characters summons...pretty sure the flyer could have been handy at one point) Also, where there any more players still in pods on earth? Do we even care about them? How about the servers? Do we care that those are likely to fail with no maintenance? Unlike a lot of these stories with an apocalypse, this apocalypse was not long planned for and there was no information in story given for how those servers were to be maintained or how long they are expected to last.

There was possiblity here for this story. The characters were not particularly annoying. There was android technology in the "real world". There were complex AI "gods" in the game world (though lets all forget the NPCs are also just AI). Sometimes an ending can save a mediocre story, but this ending just brutalized this story. Before this book I probably would have rated it a "meh, try it on sale if you have nothing else to do". Now I would say skip it. I got it for free but am annoyed I wasted my time.

Narrrator was fine, and apparently listens to feedback as I think it was about book 5 when he stopped saying H.U.D. and just started saying "hud" like anyone who knows video game rpgs would have been screaming at him about since book 1.
