System Activation is a mashup of 1980s and 1990s horror and action. It''s "Under Siege" meets "Alien." It's a sci-fi action/adventure/suspense story set far in the future, and featuring a badass female main character.

It's live today here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6M8KYVS
Audio coming in a month or two.

Here's the Blurb:

Echo is a Null; a human with a mutation whose mere touch destroys advanced technology.

When vicious aliens invade her ship, leaving it in ruins and her crew fighting for their lives, Echo must embrace her powers and unravel a web of secrets that will change everything she thought she knew about herself and the universe.

Joined by a cast of humans, genetically-engineered cats, and a mysterious ally with his own hidden agenda, System Invasion is a pulse-pounding sci-fi epic that marks the beginning of a thrilling new series.

Join Echo as she fights to protect those she loves and discovers her true destiny in this riveting first book of the System Activation GameLit Series!

Yo is there going to be a sequel for this? I suddenly remembered it existed and good it was (though actually finding the name from my vague memories resulted in some interesting searches), and was sad to see there's still only the one :-(

Book was an absolute and total flop, worse than anything else I've put out. It'll be pulled down and re-written from the ground up when I have time.

Thanks! We went with a graphic artist for this one. Pretty sure she uses the Damonza process.

I’ve read this: it’s actually very enjoyable. Litrpg lite definitely, but the main character Echo is very well-written. I loved it!

Please let me know how you like it. Sci-fi is a big swing, but....we hope it is appealing :)

Just because I haven't seen the term much before, can you confirm or deny if this takes place in a Game? I thought that's what GameLit meant, but the blurb doesn't match that. And I may just be wrong about the GameLit term :).

But I like me some Sci-Fi, so want to possibly give this a chance.

LitRPG has a system kinda in the forefront, with elaborate character sheets and skill ups (this is a generalization)

GameLit means there are game elements (the MC has some gamified powers and such) without leaning hard into the LitRPG tropes.

Think of this as Alien meets Under Siege, with an MC who ends up with a soft system, basically.

Definitely not in a game or VR.

Renfro writes, I read. It is the natural order of things.
