Dark Dawn (The Exlian Syndrome Series‪)‬

From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of The Titan series and Battle Mage Farmer—comes Dark Dawn, the second book in an epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure.

Mark Fields has achieved his dreams—once a dishwasher, he’s now one of the Empowered, with superhuman abilities that just keep building. He’s got friends, a place in the Engineering Corp, and a new mission.

Joining the Black Mountain Battalion, Mark is part of the team heading into the wilderness to recover a lost research base, and the mine below it. But the battalion is massively understaffed, the Exlian are voracious and myriad, corruption awaits back in New Emery, and the aliens aren’t even the only enemy out there …

Mark must level up ASAP to survive, but greater power is always a double-edged sword.
