About this listen

What cost survival in a post-apocalyptic world?

How much will you sacrifice to survive in a world turned game? When friends and family fall to monsters and aliens everyday, will you choose safety over freedom?

These are the questions the survivors in the Yukon must ask themselves. New alien masters arrive, offering safety from ever stronger monsters in return for their freedom and future potential.

Thrust into a position of power and influence by dint of his Levels, John must choose—not just for himself but Whitehorse itself. The price, however, might be more than he is willing to pay.

The Cost of Survival is Book 3 of the System Apocalypse, a LitRPG post-apocalyptic series that combines modern day urban life, science fiction and fantasy elements along with game mechanics.

a good book

the set up is nice the cast of characters have there moment but the main character is way to pent up fantasising about everyone in leather or raging out as soon as things don't go his way I'm glad by the 4th book his main trait is no longer that is and horny and angry but won't do anything about it

The main plot in this book could have fit into one chapter.

The progression in this series is soooo slow. It’s just fight after fight with very little story line. Progress the story already. Get the main character to leave this place and do something!

Good thing it's Nick

Nick Podehl nails out another performance but I feel like this story is just the same melodramatic brooding that's not only predictable but getting annoying. We get it, move on, story is getting stagnant because there seems to be nearly no character development.
