Still reeling from the loss of his grandfather, Jake has drowned his sorrows in whatever drink he’s able to find. An unexpected jaunt into his grandfather’s basement sends him smack-dab into the middle of an abandoned space station. To make matters worse, he’s not alone. There are feral beings intent on taking a chunk or two out of him. Unwilling to sit on the sidelines in the hopes of being rescued, he takes matters into his own hands. One way or another, he’ll make his way back home.
A refreshing start to this series, we meet Jake, a man who’s full of pain and heartache for the loss of a loved one. In his mind, he’s better off drowning his sorrows with a bottle. It helps him forget about what’s happened.
In truth, a lot of people do this in real life. It’s a crutch for them, one that has unexpected consequences in the long run. Not only for themselves, but also for their friends and loved ones. I like the fact that the author keeps things real within the book itself. Yes, it’s science fiction with LitRPG elements, but it’s also a slice of what people do when presented with tough situations.
Inheritance is one of those books that pits the question, ‘What if?’ What happens if you suddenly find yourself in a place far from home? Would you settle for the situation at hand? Or would you do everything possible to find your way out of the situation you now find yourself in?
This is what Jake does. His resilience takes a front seat whenever it comes to finding a solution to his current problem. What lies on the horizon for him remains to be seen. Hopefully, he’ll be able to set all wrongs to right when the time comes. We shall see!
SYNOPSIS
Trapped on a derelict space station, Jake must destroy an alien infestation—or he’ll never see his home again.
Still reeling from the death of his parents, Jake finds a doorway to an abandoned space station in his grandfather’s basement. But when he walks through, he discovers he’s trapped there and he’s got company.
The station’s AI enlists Jake to reclaim the systems needed to support life, but there’s a catch—he has only eight hours to complete the task or he’ll die alone in the cold vacuum of space. With only his trusty wrecking bar, work boots, and some basic survival equipment he must defeat the horrific monsters that infest the station before his air runs out.
But aliens aren’t all he has to worry about. Hidden in the station is a message that could spell doom for Earth, and the entire universe along with it.
If you’re a fan of crunchy, sci-fi LitRPG with a healthy dose of base-building, then this space survival adventure with visceral combat is the book for you.
