Secrets of the Dark Forest

Audiobook The Secret of the Dark Forest, author Vasily Mahanenko, translated by Martin Kapalka. Read by Richard Wágner and Anita Krausová, directed by Ondřej Černý. The Way of the Shaman #3 Is a shaman a mere pawn in a game of the powerful? Mahan has a forceful answer to that! Barliona. A virtual world bursting at the seams with monsters, battles, and of course, players. The star of Mahan, a hacker sentenced to serve his time in Barliona, is rising rapidly among them. After an upheaval in the game system, the clans of Barliona are competing to grab a larger piece of the power and to side with the new empire. Mahan is suddenly the centre of attention, all the more so when the Corporation that runs the game firmly ties him to a whole new extensive scenario that all the server's top players are itching to conquer. A strong team is needed for the expedition to the Dark Forest, but Mahan must first fight for the proper respect and the right to command within it. Otherwise, there's a risk that no one will trust his shamanic instincts—and that instead of uncovering secrets, Malabar's greatest heroes will end up as nothing more than vampire dinner… VASILY MIKHAILOVICH MAHANENKO A project manager by profession, he decided to use his experience as a long-time MMORPG player to write a book in the brand-new LitRPG genre.
