This Omnibus includes all five Permadeath Legacy stories: Blacksalt Slayer, Crimson Nightmare, Killing Pawns, Gilded Obsession, and Manmade Monsters.
Gilded Obsession
The Elite watch as the pawns of Eden struggle for their very survival. But Catherine can't help but desire the adventure and drama the world promises. Once she's made the plunge into the virtual world, she'll quickly learn what happens to the curious cat.
Eden was built as the perfect fantasy reality. Instead of being a means of entertainment for its players, it became a world where the rich extort the poor to fight and die for their own amusement.
As a pawn, your life is your own. But death in the game doesn't mean you reload and start over. When you die in Eden, you die in the real world. Sometimes survival comes at the cost of another's life.
My Opinion: Lorcan, captain of The Wandering Willow, takes on a high paying escort job. Only the person he has to escort is the young daughter of a rich family on her first trip into Eden. If she dies in the game she dies in real life and so will Lorcan for not protecting her.
This is a short read at 95 pages for $2.99. It is available on Kindle Unlimited. If you have Kindle Unlimited, this is a good short story. Otherwise it’s overpriced.
Score: 6 out of 10
Gilded Obsession (The Permadeath Legacy Book 4)
Killing Pawns
Crimson Nightmare
Blacksalt Slayer
Blacksalt Slayer is a wonderful standalone story in the permadeath legacy series. It begins with a player just trying to make enough money playing a VR game to pay for rent and food. Unfortunately for this player, he’s been accused of a crime that he didn’t commit. If he’s caught his character could face death not only in the game but in real life. Even though it’s short, the author combines action, mistaken identity, a murder mystery thing.
