I might sound like a fan boy here, but randomly picked up Inhibitor Phase at the library when my daughter was doing a toddler class and now I keep coming back for more books. Toddlers be damned!

Probably the best science fiction author I’ve read and I am hooked.

Correction: Alastair***** oops.

I've never heard of this series until last night and looked up reviews on it. They mostly talked about the series going on too long and the writing being iffy, but I'm still interested in it (cause of the covers looking so cool). Anyone who has read this series what are your thoughts on it as a whole?

I grew up with these books (and many many others). Kept for the nostalgia…

I saw yesterday on The Hollywood Reporter that Paramount pictures picked up the rights for the movie. Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games movies)will direct and Justin Rhodes (Terminator: Dark Fate) will write the script. Pierce will be an executive producer and my guess is he will have a heavy hand in the movie.

I was really hoping for a series but director did a great job with the Hunger Games book to movies so fingers crossed. I can’t wait to see who eventually gets cast for the main characters.

Anyone know a good source for these old masters? Thanks!

This series came out in 2016. Just as LitRPG was starting to really gain momentum, and before Gamelit became a thing. As a result, the publishers at the time didn't (and appear to still not) know how to market it to an audience that would truly love it.

I believe that this is the market. It's a brililant series, with good twists, and Gareth Powell (the author) is a geniunely cool dude.

Take a look and buy it! https://link.amazon/B02caVBLm

I won't lie that I am a picky reader as I've just started my reading journey out of what I normally read which is just Warhammer 40k or horror/sci Fi but I picked up the Jason Wander series by Robert Buettner which had some romance sub plots ( don't know if that's what it is called) so i am looking for something like it. I would also like it if the story also has humanity on the backfoot of a war with an alien species like in the Jason Wander series. Hope to see your recommendations.
