About this listen
The thing about Artem...
It's a damn hard city to live in if you haven't got creds, and for creds, you need opportunities.
The thing about opportunities... They're thin on the ground for Orcs, one of the most reviled races in the sprawling city.
If you happen to be an Orc left for dead on the frontlines of Artem's roving monster problem and stranded outside its immense city walls, then you're doubly screwed—like Oshbob.
The thing about Oshbob... He's tough, and he's pissed!
With a will to survive like few others, he's determined never to be subject to the whims of the elite ever again.
He's gonna make something of himself. No matter the cost to those around him...

Story
Sergeant Harry Kabutt has seen better days. He's been shot down, blown up, and tossed to the wayside by the corporations, left to rot in a ratty apartment in gang territory. His own limbs? Shredded, cut away, and left to rot on a mountainside. The replacement mods? Likely to fall apart or leave him to die of sepsis. No longer an operator of the feared APS mecha, Kabutt has hit rock bottom. But he's on foot, he's armed, and he's in serious pain…now it's time to take that pain and spread it around the mega-city of Artem. See who flinches first.

Out of credits, with trash-tier mods and no hope, Bowdoin Katamari resides at the bottom of the pile in the city of Artem. A place where megacorporations, merc guilds, and inner-city pricks live like royalty while the rest suffer. In spite of his poor prospects, this self-taught hacker does have a few things left. A seething hatred for the upper castes, a mind bursting with plots, and a like-minded crew determined to get ahead.

Story
Drake needed a new start, and the small farm on the outskirts of the kingdom seemed like the perfect chance. Just one problem: he doesn't know the first thing about farming. He's also not sure how to deal with the giant, magical rooster that lives on his farm. But it's a fresh start, and Drake intends to make the best of it. Daily chores, a slew of monsters, and a haunted garden are one thing, but when his past catches up to him, Drake will have to learn to juggle his new responsibilities, a budding social life, and a secret that could cost him everything.

Ryan lived his life on Earth trapped in his own body. The doctors couldn't explain what was happening to him, but slowly, his body was crystallizing. Then, a portal opened up on the ceiling of his hospital room. He'd seen that one in enough anime to recognize what was happening. It couldn't possibly be worse than the hell that was his life on Earth, not that he was given any choice.

When a Demonic Assault occurs, most people stuck inside of a Fracture end up hiding inside of a bunker in the hopes that they don’t get killed by a demon. Others might even hope for the slightest possible chance at signing a contract with a spirit and becoming a Guardian. So when Scarlet was caught in a Fracture, the last thing she expected was to become a demon herself. Exactly two centuries ago, humanity was struck with their very first Demonic Assault.

Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate. But hey, it's not all bad news.

Instead of going to heaven, Luke's soul is brought to a hellish realm on the verge of total destruction, where two supernatural beings soon engage in brutal combat. Defeating her rival, the victorious Arke prepares to claim her prize, the powerful God Seed. But the ancient artifact has plans of its own, offering to soul-bond with Luke, who accepts and flees to the world of Theos to escape Arke's wrath.

Betrayed by those closest to him, Viktor's soul couldn't move on for decades. Pitied by one of the Gods, he was given the chance to participate in the next round of bets between the gods. It was an eternally violent game known as Towers and Rifts. The world he found himself in was nothing like the one he'd spent centuries cultivating and becoming stronger. He was right back at the bottom along with everyone else but for the knowledge he retained.

The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them. And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

All that stands between rowdy long-haul trucker Jill MacLeod (aka Junkmouth) and her family back in Boston is two thousand miles of asphalt. Well, that and the monstrous game the System has had her playing ever since it descended on Earth. The reward: mana. Jill's goal: kill, score, drive—and stay alive. Behind the wheel of a turreted forty-ton semi named Bertha, Jill hammers east from Montana through a gauntlet of every kind of chomping, hissing, rabid creature imaginable. Barreling forward in her magical soulbound big rig and chalking up a bumper crop of roadkill, Jill isn't alone for long.

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'.

Great bang for the buck, too, at 18 hours. Author told a good, compelling story and the performers did a wonderful job. I'm a big fan of Neil Hellegers specifically

Absolute Must-Listen!
The Rise of Oshbob by Kevin Sinclair is an absolute must-listen for sci-fi and body mod enthusiasts! Sinclair has crafted a vivid and immersive world, and the creativity behind the body modifications is both unique and fascinating. It adds so much depth to the story, giving it a gritty, futuristic feel that kept me hooked.
The narration by Neil Hellegers and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker takes the experience to the next level. Hellegers' tone brings the intensity and action scenes alive, while Nemeth-Parker balances it out with depth and warmth. Together, they make the story an incredibly engaging experience. If you're a fan of captivating sci-fi and fantastic narrations, The Rise of Oshbob is a must-add to your Audible library!

A great entry into a whole new world
The rise of Oshbob was certainly a fun read. a vastly different take on LitRPG and in a major universe shared by three other authors. I can't even imagine the challenge behind it all. A like the dark and gritty vibe the book has. I think Oshbob was actually softer than what I expected, but was certainly a great character and had a ton of depth to him. A great story that Kevin has added to his portfolio and one I certainly enjoyed.

Not what i expected, and definately better than what i thought it would be.
I really didnt know what to expect going into this book. I thought it would be a boring series, never really bieng a fan of multi-author sieries. but this title makes me wonder if the others are any good if not just as good as this one. Cyberpunk-fantasy with cyber moded orks, elfs and goblins, totally worth my time and credit. I have been waiting for a decent cyberpunk fantasy, but never found the right one. I think this one's the right fit. Im looking foward for more action packed brawls with cybertech enhanced goons. Also im gonna look into the other authors books in this sieries.

Pretty good urban fantasy
I’ll give this 5 stars just because it’s a pretty decent urban fantasy that isn’t a litrpg. About the only time you hear anything close to game mechanics is when they’re talking about their stats is when they discuss the implanted communication devices. It’s nice to see some new adult fantasy that doesn’t involve a bunch of weird harem stuff or any litrpg
