About this listen
The gods walk again....
When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a routine mission off the coast of Cyprus, he was sure it was game over.
After surviving the crash and pulling himself onto the sandy shores of a long-abandoned island, however, Jacob unwittingly stumbles headfirst into the ancient ruins of a dead city. Unfortunately, he also stumbles into an age-old battle between good and evil - and he is now its newest recruit.
The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, the God of War, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. But Jacob’s arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the ravaging darkness at bay.
Now, with the help of a sacred gem containing Ares’ power, Jacob must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold. And if he fails, Hades will unleash his army of the damned and the world of men will fall, giving rise to an age of walking nightmares.
"You had me at mythology. You sold me at the crafting, game mechanics, great characters, and serious action. From start to finish, War God's Mantle delivers. Do not miss this book!" (Harmon Cooper, author of Fantasy Online and The Feedback Loop series)

It's more of a 16 year fantasy book
It's ok but it's more of a drama then a action and that gets annoying

Oops this is a LitRPG
It's a great title, cool cover art and a neat concept, modern day fighter pilot crashes through a mystical barrier smack dab into an aeons long war with the central figure a now deceased God of War Ares, a bunch of Amazons and the bad evil hell spawn bent on over running and destroying mankind's last bastion of defence from sinking into a dark, short future.
The writing is not bad, the performance by Amen Taylor pretty good but I've never been into role playing games and the constant references to levelling up, gathering energy, power, etc to allow our hero to become the war god himself, and rebuild Ares' fortress to protect the ultimate weapon against the darkness is not m cup of tea.
I did finish the book because I rather liked the characters and wanted to see how they fared. If you are into RPG and like fiction written about them this is probably a series you will enjoy.
