Book description
Listen. The steam hisses, gears grind, and a neural net explosion tears you from one world into another. Sergeant Ripley Coulter wakes not to the hum of servers, but to the thick, copper-scented air of Ethinium-where London breathes steam, the UK is Greater Umbria, and ancient vaults hold Europe's darkest secrets. This isn't just a book; it's an audiobook that unfolds.
Jaxon Reed's voice, rich as aged whiskey, guides you through the metaverse's ruins and into a world where steam-powered airships carve the sky and game implants flicker with forgotten code. You hear the clank of a Royal Venture Society gear, the hiss of a steam injector, the sharp crack of a machine gun in a London alley choked with gaslamp glow. It's not just heard-it's felt, in the pulse of the engine beneath your feet, the grit of coal dust on your tongue. Reed's words aren't read; they resonate, each syllable a cog turning in the grand, intricate machine of this gaslamp universe.
Forget passive reading. This is immersion: the clatter of fistfights in shadowed courtyards, the whispered dread of Darhaven's corruption seeping through the vaults, the thump of a heart racing as Coulter aligns with the king's forces. Reed's prose, lyrical and alive, paints with sound-where "cogs turn, steam sighs, and shadows climb." You're not just in Ethinium; you're of it, riding the current of a world where every gear, every valve, every whispered command carries weight. The audiobook's rhythm mirrors the steam engine's beat: steady, powerful, impossible to ignore.
This isn't just another steampunk tale. It's a masterclass in soundscaping-the hiss of a vent, the shush of a cloak, the low thrum of a vault's ancient power. It's why tens of thousands devoured it on Royal Road, why it won Writathon 2022. Reed, a veteran of military fantasy and sci-fi, doesn't just tell a story; he orchestrates it. The machine guns aren't just heard-they vibrate in your bones. The dungeon crawls aren't just described-they echo in the silence between words. You hear the city breathe, feel the weight of the vaults, taste the electric hum of a world rebuilt on forgotten magic.
So press play. Let the steam rise. Let the gears turn. Let Reed's voice pull you into a world where every explosion is a symphony, every battle a ballet of pistons and courage. This is gamelit reimagined-not for the screen, but for the ear, for the soul. It's thrilling, it's lush, it's a journey where the line between game and reality dissolves into pure, beautiful noise. Don't just read it-hear it. The vaults are calling. And they're waiting for you.
