Jonathan Slate, former Marine infantry officer and the Governor of Texas, has just won his bid for the presidency. When an assassin's bullet takes his life during his victory speech, he is conscripted from the afterlife by the Lord of Light, Lucidus.

Slate is thrust into the game-like world of Somnium where he has been reincarnated into the body of a parasite and given one mission: evolve or die.

If he can channel the monster inside and utilize his military and political experience to establish Lucidus' personal army, the Scourge, he might have a chance to evolve before his many enemies find him and send him to a permanent death.

Outstanding storytelling. Unique world mechanics. I can't wait for the sequel to be released on audible.

This series has the potential to play amongst the best litrpg, fantasy books, such as "The Land" - series by Aleron Kong.

Strong recommendation.

*edit* If only the author didn't need ages to publish his already written sequels on audible. Or at least keep interested people up to date via his Facebook etc.

9/10

At first I thought having an evil parasite as a protagonist is a neat new concept but the execution is just lacking. All the other characters are just one dimensional pawns designed to make the mc look superior. Woman are especially badly written.
This just reads like a self insert power fantasy. And not even a good one.
Stopped listening after the rape scene.

Needs Rape warnings
