Invaders on all sides. Earth’s weapons fail. There’s no safe harbor.
Chance has already crossed blades with the invading factions of the Hunters of Unconditional Immortality and lived. But survival isn’t victory. With all of humanity eying each other suspiciously, a truth is revealed that might finally unite the world: they aren’t the target, but a mere obstacle to the HUI’s ambitions in distant dimensions.
If there’s one thing people hate more than being attacked, it’s being ignored.
Then Jacksonville goes dark, and only at the last moment does anyone realize the Dyadic faction has abandoned all restraint. No negotiations. No prisoners. If the city falls, the continent won’t be fighting an invasion. It’ll be drowning under a tidal wave of Lemure. With his team too distant to help, Chance is forced to enter the barrier without backup.
With no one to watch him… there’s also no one to stop him. Luckily, Chance Encounter has a very simple rule for what his blade will shed.
Any blood but red.
Continue the high-energy Chance Encounter series from bestselling author Dakota Krout, where James Bond meets Jack Reacher in a LitRPG invasion. This fast-paced post-apocalyptic LitRPG fantasy series is perfect for fans of the high-stakes survival of Dungeon Crawler Carl, the smart, strategic protagonist of Jack Reacher, and the massive, world-threatening invasion of Defiance of the Fall.
