Description

S4M Protoype 0000, or Sam to his friends, is the commander of an elite team of clones, designed to be the perfect soldiers. He and his team have been trapped in an automated training facility, their neural networks perfectly replicated to move them from one body to the next in an endless cycle of training. For five hundred years.

The world above ended long ago, but the advanced technology that keeps them there has only begun to break down, giving Sam and his team a chance to escape the hellish conditions they were born into, and rejoin the world above.

The only question is: what do they find when they reach the surface?

For lovers of sci-fi and fantasy fusions, a supersoldier thrown out of time!

    This is a great story. In depth world building, well fleshed out characters and villains, well thought out and coherent plot accompanied by print ready grammar. I read all of this in a couple of days and it's better than 99% of stuff published in this genre on Kindle unlimited that I usually read.
    The story follows the adventures of a genetically engineered super soldier S4M,  500 years after humanity has fallen. The fall was due to a combination of things like gates from a different plane opening onto ours introducing magic and elves and such, societal upheaval stemming both from that and prior issues (wars, resource depletion, authoritarianism replacing democracy etc). Eventually the governments collapse under assault of both internal and external enemies and humans devolve to around 13th century level technology and magic. The elves are the only ones remembering things from before the fall as they are extremely long lived and ofc Sam, his neural net keeps track for him. In this brave new world life is cheap and everyone hates everyone, usually for the wrong reasons. Add in magic and s#/! Is not the only thing hitting the fan.
    Macronomicom is a skilled story teller that's for sure.

    The concept of a supersoldier clone that has his memories transplanted through lives is solid on it's own. Slap an apocalyptic future with elves from another dimension and the coolest dragon villain I ever read about and you got me by the balls.
    Now, I could make a tasteful review with separated parts describing the different aspects of the story. But I will just gush about whatever I liked and remember while I write this. Sorry about that.
    The protagonist and his pals are really nice while they are there, they make a dynamic that I can see kinda happening. Dunno, supersoldier and shit. Yeah. It's cool, really.
    After that we have a whole world that just amazed. Well, the coliseum bit kinda sucked. I did not really like the way shit was portraid there, thought better of the elves. Aside from that it is really amazing to just imagine how the world is while the characters interact with it. There's always a tidbit of info that just shines an idea on your head and shit, I love it.
    The main character always has an conflict, be it emotional or a giant fucking dragon-dictator-doctor extraordinaire called Billy. It is as good as a villain as it sounds ridiculous.
    I'm still on the afterglow of binge-reading it tbh.
    If you read till here, you probably have the patience to read till chapter 7. Heck, read it as a standalone.  It introduces the villain that only appears as background or a direct confrotation later on the story. Which only makes it better really, after this chapter you'll know what an awesome thing to expect on the story.
    A story that keeps on giving on almost all aspects.

    A Great story! Interesting characters and plot. I really hope a book 2 is in the makings.  I recommend this story as a fun and interesting read that will grab a hold of you and won't let you put down your eReader until you are finished. Let's face it I need book 2!

    Rather unusual worldbuilding, with the cybernetically augmented clone and the human hating technologically advanced elf joining forces to stop the human raised internet loving dragon. More of a Gamma World/D&D crossover than Shadowrun, if that means anything to you.
    Through chapter 19, no grammatical errors at all that I noticed. Lots of action, lots of floating plot threads that could bite our Main Character in the butt. Recommend .

    Nice story. Nice MC.
    Alas, theres some tropes thats not being used, such as supersoldier tropes. Thus the 4 stars.
    Character development is good. Dont care about the logic of why he could use magic.
    Just wish it could be longer and more story of how he combine modern tech with magic.
    But its a very nice journey. Too bad its hiatus.

    The story is well-written, no problems with updates BUT I LITERALLY WANT TO KILL EVERYONE IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE MC(S), like they are manipulative ungrateful basturd at best, and brain-washed $hitheads at worst. Everything else is great, but the I hate 99% of the people, and the MC (Sam) is so damned obsessed with the laws and morality (even tho he is repeatedly walked on like a carpet).

    Really good story... except the characters... I mean wtf? Okay, life is hell and wars and all, but doesn’t that reinforce bonds in at least some cases? All characters lack empathy and try to use the mc as if they were psychopathic asses... it killed me to learn that one of the only characters that seem to be reasonable is just actually better at hiding her bitchness... oh well sad stuff
