Code Jumpers...skilled hackers who meet strict criteria, are the traffickers of the new world. Guns, drugs, just about anything else you might need or want in the heavily moderated base game world of Re.Generation, the Code Jumpers can get it for you. As one of the very few people in the US who can dive into Re.Generation without getting stuck, Eddie is one such Code Jumper.

Better than expected
Revisado: 06-05-19
This book is easily compared to Ready Player One, but I think that will be the case for almost all future gaming lit stories. It’s hard to imagine a future of games that isn’t VR/AR. It doesn’t capture the attention like RPO but it does a good job in its own right.
Code Jumper took the idea of VR gaming to an extreme but failed to really flesh out the backstory or provide an adequate description of the game. It never really explains how the Code Jumpers function within it. Yes you inherently understand but it just felt lacking. This lack of world building leaves the reader filling in the pieces on their own and never really feeling a part of the world.
Michael Johnson was surprisingly good at his narration. I had never listened to one of his performances before. I think over time and as he develops some of his character voices (mainly female voices) he may become one of the better narrators around.

Sweeping from the majestic city of Ashoka to the perilous Wildness beyond her borders, enter a world where Caste determines mystical Talents, the purity of Jivatma expresses worth, and dharma may be based on a lie.Rukh Shektan has always understood duty. As a member of Caste Kumma, the warrior Caste, nothing else is acceptable. He is expected to take part in the deadly Trials, to journey the Wildness and protect the caravans linking Humanity's far-flung cities. Though the mission is dangerous, Rukh's hope and optimism are undaunted. Karma, however, is a fickle fiend.

Worth it! If you like new fantasy worlds, pick this up.

If you're looking for a unique story that has world building, a unique magic system, and characters that keep you involved this book is worth the investment.
I've listened to all of the highest recommended fantasy series in the last year (over 100 books). I'm starting to reach when I dig when I look for a new series. This one is off to a great start. I actually wish I had found it way sooner.
I do wish the magic system was fleshed out with a bit more explanation but you can survive without it. It's unique and well written.
Podel is a fantastic narrator and I think he was probably a great pick for a series like this. Great job on his part.
