Who Knew Guarding A Train Could Be This Awesome?
4.25 out of 5 stars
Dungeon World Drifters is an excellent follow-up to the first book in System Apocalypse – Relentless series, which I eagerly anticipated. The main character, Hal Mason, stood out in both books for his professional and efficient approach to his work, utilizing his skills and abilities rather than being overpowered. I think this makes him more “believable” while also slowing the story’s progress (instead of just overpowering each enemy like I did when building out any RPG character doing all side quests first.)
Tao Wong and Craig Hamilton strike an outstanding balance in their writing styles. Dungeon World Drifters’ pacing is well done, keeping me engaged throughout the story, even in a book that almost eclipses 15 hours. The plot centers around Hal guarding the first train to cross the new wildlands of the American Midwest. Dungeon World Drifters is full of action, humor, and enjoyable surprises that add depth to the story.
Shamaan Casey knocks this one out of the park (as always); his deep and smooth voice lends itself to particular circumstances. And fortunately, the entire Dungeon World Drifters book is one of those circumstances. He was able to take a really enjoyable book and make it even more enjoyable.
Overall, this sets up nicely for future installments, and I’m eager to see where the series goes next. While also setting up this specific story’s place within the larger Apocalypse universe. It was a story and a performance that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I can’t wait to dive into future stories.
