System Reborn Vol 2
by Kaz Hunter
Rating: 4.5 #ad
“Sloan continues to defy expectations. He’s leveling quicker than almost anyone in recorded history, but he has problems two.
For one, the police are on to him and want questions. This didn’t make a lot of sense to me, because he’s not the one responsible for what happens in most of the rifts. Still, it does add a twist.
For two, he has a big bad guy following him for reasons I won’t explain. When they do meet it should be good.” by Amazon Customer
