About this listen

When you steal a hundred grand from some very bad people, the best way to survive is to stay small and quiet...

Possibly it's not to save a pair of drowning girls, not go 'viral' on social media and certainly not to let the local police take your passport, trapping you on a small 'party' island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

But Steve isn't the average guy, he's ex-military, ex-enforcer and ex-human. He's a one man nanite fuelled nightmare for those that cross the line, and he's decided that its time to clean up his act. He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.

It's a nice fantasy, but even he has to admit, it's really just a justification, because he's a very bad man, with horrifying abilities, and he's only just learning what he's capable of. He needs a reason to not go to the dark, and if that's hunting down the creatures of the night and beating them to death with their own femurs: well, he's just the man for the job.

Stolen money. Greek Islands. Werewolves and Enforcers...what could possibly go wrong?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was engrossed from start to finish. Now to start the next one. 🤩

What a great story

really liked the first half of the story and was all really great.
i feel as though it went off track and turned into a bit of a romance novel as soon as ingrid was introduced.
still a good story but i personally like the gamelit style of story and dont particularly care for the romance stuff especially when it overtakes the main story line.
i will continue to listen to the second book and just really hope it gets back on track and doesnt just continue as a love story with other bits.

great story in general but

In chapter 8 or 7 MC unlocks tactical enhancement system uses it few times and it's sounds useful cus it's helps with MC's shortcomings (battle expierence) but later in story we don't really see him use it . Was is integrated more deeply after fight with werewolfs in Catacombs or what. He forgot he has something like that ?

Silly Mc

I have read a few of Jez' books and thoroughly enjoyed them, especially the Rise of Mankind series. This is better. So much better.

Steve is a great character and I really like all of the side characters along the way. Sets up for brilliant series with an excellent ending. I also mostly listened to the audiobook of this and the narrators do a fantastic job, making it much more enjoyable than others I've listened too.

Couldn't recommend this book more and have already bought the sequel and I'm just gutted that the next audiobook isn't out yet

The best of Cajiao

I got here from listening to the authors other good series, Rise off Mankind. Both 5 stars but this one is better I must admit, not by much though.

waiting on book 2 now.

An excellent start to the Arise series

What a fantastic start to a series, I absolutely loved it.

Jez knows how to write the stories I want to hear and my imagination is watching everything happen as the 2 excellent narrators bring it to life.

And a huge plus for me is that as soon as I’ve written these words I’m straight off to get book 2 downloaded..

If you like the genre you won’t be disappointed.

Also Kudos to Jez for being an absolute machine when it comes to writing, 11 books in less than 3 years - phenomenal! 👏

Brilliant series opener!
