Publisher's Summary
EDGE Force: A clandestine organisation that leverages the best and brightest humanity has to offer to defend against the threats that can't be fought by normal means.
JD Rideout is a washed-up writer with the best years of his career behind him. Nursing the wounds of a marriage breakdown, his kids are the only thing keeping him going.
When JD wakes up on a tropical island in the middle of the Whitsundays on Queensland's Central Coast, chained to the ceiling, he knows something is very wrong. He feels like a character in one of his novels.
Those who fight for EDGE Force unlock the ability to level up and gain powerful skills to help them fight against threats to our reality.
JD is given a pistol and an axe, along with a new callsign: Hatchet. Uprooted from his life and forced to fight for the fate of the world, Hatchet may just be planet Earth’s last line of defence.
As Hatchet, he’s tasked with fighting back against a shadowy cult that has reappeared after 15 years in hibernation.
But fighting the cult isn’t the only thing that drives Hatchet. These cultists are using the essence of an ancient entity to reshape reality into whatever their twisted imaginations can bring forth. This entity is reaching out to Hatchet too, propelling him towards an epic showdown with the forces of the Fellowship of Cosmic Truth.
During the course of his mission, Hatchet encounters an unexpected ally–a German Shepherd dog named Kaiser–who might just be smarter than Hatchet. Kaiser has his own reasons for fighting the cult and the two form an unlikely alliance.
Bleeding Edge contains LitRPG elements including levelling up, skill increases, new abilities, and a deep crafting system. The book is written using Australian English, and contains Aussie slang.

Please Sir, can we have some more?
A wonderful rollicking and imaginative adventure from Mathew J Barbeler, and performed to his always very high standard by Heath Miller.
Any story with a very good dog in it is worth the effort of reading and this one starts fast and only slows down for the occasional skill upgrade.
😬
I particularly enjoyed the way Barbeler kept the Australian ‘voice’ and tone of his main character, but combined it seamlessly with more universal fantasy elements and tropes.
While the story itself wound up cleanly enough and tied up most of the loose ends, my only real criticism is that there were a few moments towards the last part of the book where the action felt a little rushed. It wasn’t enough to impact my overall enjoyment but I did roll my eyes once or twice.
Unfortunately the story also left me wanting more, which I suppose is what every author wants 🤷♀️🙄and I still have a more than a few unanswered questions which - fingers crossed - will be answered in Book 2.
Recommended wholeheartedly for fans of adventure and action.

An interesting concept!
A little different from other LitRPG’s I have listened to. As usual I really enjoyed Heath Miller’s performance of the book! Thanks

Epic & Enthralling
Saggy Butt Faced Monsters. that is all.
Kidding! this story is epic and Heath has done an amazing job narrating.
I honestly couldn't stop listening and giggling along with all of those little real-world Easter eggs.
Can't wait until #2 is uploaded.
