Description
From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of the Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—comes the next thrilling escapade in an epic series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and superhuman adventure.
All things come to a head …
Former dishwasher turned soldier turned hunter Mark Fields now faces the biggest threat yet: himself.
Pursued by some of the strongest empowered in New Emery and taunted by the eerie prophet leading a mutant cult, all while trying to build a relationship—that’s a lot even for an almost superhero.
As his friends and allies are scattered, Mark must master his abilities, discover his true origin, and fight for his own survival—for the long-dreaded Exlian wave has broken at last, besieging the city.
On the brink of war, surrounded by enemies and divided loyalties, Mark must decide and embrace who he really is—alien monster? Elite soldier? Mutant savior? Exlian … or human?
His choice will shape the future of New Emery—and of humanity.

I have many questions about how we got here. The humanity portrayed is looking quite bleak. I'm intrigued to see how we move forward in this series with Mark and his gang.
Thank you Blackstone for the advanced e copy. Ring is popping these out and it's still not fast enough!

The next high octane step in Mark's , now hiding as Jonathan, journey into a deeper truth about Exilians, Humanity, and the reality of what the change has cost Humanity.
In this penultimate book, we *finally* start to get real, deep answers.
If you thought the cliff hanger in book 4 was a doozy? Book 5 has something special for you!
More Phoenix, More Noah, and more of everything, Book 5's brakes are just the up hill sections of the rollercoaster.
So throw your hands up, let out a WOO! and dive in.
Can't wait for book 6!
Review: A continuance that pushes the entertainment envelope into the early morning hours. I really enjoy this writer. How far can Apex go? Stay tuned.
I received this ARC for an honest review.

I can't get enough of this series and this book, like the others, was excellent. It is packed full of action and lots of storylines are being tied together. I especially love the interactions between Mime and Mark; their relationship is explained satisfactorily in this volume. Any future installment will be on my to read list.

An amazing continuation of the series. Seth Ring does not disappoint.
He weaves an amazing story, bringing everything that’s been set up from the first four books together. Everything clicks and hits just right.
I’m excited and scared for the next and final book as I’m not ready for the series to end.
Aaron M, Reviewer
Shattered Glory has got to be the best book in the series yet. The stakes are high and the action is non stop and never ending. From Marks escape from the lab in the prior book to a showdown with Maestro, to a city overrun. The action never relents. I absolutely loved this installment and how it sets up a massive ending. This series has quickly become one of my favorites and I hope it actually lasts longer than 6 books or gets a spin off following the events of book 6. This was such an easy and fun read, that had me glued at every stop.
Another fast past entry in the Exlian Syndrome series. Picks up right where we left off and moved us through Mark starting to develop new ways to gain powers. Seeing his power progression is always impressive but now we are learning more about why and how, as well as if others can learn like Mark. We are also building towards the finale and a big battle between sides with the humans, mutants and Exlian. I can't wait to see how this all wraps up!
