Alexander X and his friends have had stadiums collapse on them and ancient teachers follow them; they have driven cars through buildings and had entire streets blown up around them. They've been chased, beaten, drugged, and nearly sliced in two by falling sheets of glass. And that...was just on Saturday. Now, they must do whatever it takes to escape Elam Khai and flee the country.

Story
Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Story
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Publisher's Summary
Get ready for book three, League of Auld, coming in early spring 2022, by listening to the Audible best seller Alexander X (number one overall).
Alexander Grant is a little too good at a few too many things. Two dozen martial arts. Twice that many languages. Chess, the piano, sports, forging excused absences, you name it. He graduated high school top of his class...17 times. Of course, no one knows any of this. Not that he wants to go unnoticed. It’s just safer that way. So for the last several decades, Alexander has been forced to move from town to small town to even smaller town - he just bought his 651st house - in an effort to live a painfully quiet life. But when a mysterious cabal attempts to kidnap him and kill his friends, Alexander must use all his skills and centuries of training to outwit the most dangerous man alive, the mastermind of a plot that would change the world forever.
Clever, intriguing, skillfully woven with humor, Alexander X launches us on an epic journey toward a future few of us will survive, rising from a past we never knew existed.

Great, witty book performed by the perfect narrator. The book follows three high school students, and I think it’s targeted primarily to that audience. That said, I enjoyed it and will likely but the next book in the series.
The great thing about this book is that I was able to share it with my ten year old during a road trip.

Refreshingly Original
There are allot of these types of books around and most are centralized around super powers of some kind. The characters Savio presents are unique in that it presents the case of what “abilities” someone would obtain just by simply having more time than others. It emphasizes wit, knowledge and experience as the keystones for survival instead of some supernatural edge. Lastly, it offers a unique perspective of the internal clash of emotions that manifest in the mind of a character with the rash emotions of a teenager and a mind that has seen and remembers a multitude of lifetimes making the same choices across the
Great historical references, entertaining humor and a compelling storyline with no drop offs. Very impressed.

Cost me a lot of sleep - it is that engrossing!
I have nearly 1000 titles in my Audible library. So many great listens have I enjoyed over the years. This book was one of the very best books I have ever experienced. Wil Wheaton's performance is one his very best of his fantastic narrating career.
I always wonder about reviews that state part of the story or items such a the plot. That can be found easily. The story was one of the most engrossing I have experienced. By combining the excellent story written by Edward Savio and the narration, it makes one of the most explosive book experiences.
Savio must have great knowledge of Boston and history. The story moves easily between centuries of history and moving through Massachusetts while telling a story in the present day. Savio's knowledge of the streets of Boston, including the subway and some of the waterways, shows in great detail as the book unfolds.
It is such a fantastic book, I started to imagine it in my mind's eye like a movie playing out. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

Totally enjoying Wheaton's performance
First, Wil Wheaton makes the comedy and the action rock. The premise is intriguing. A world where a very few of us age only a couple of days a year. Basically, aging at like 1/100th the speed of everyone else. What are all the amazing/cool/horrible things that would have happened to you over all that time? Who would you have been? Alexander X is one of those few. But as interesting as living so long might be, there's something else going on. Something bigger. No spoilers, but we don't get all of it, everything doesn't get wrapped up in this book, but I got enough of it to leave me satisfied and left me wanting more. Hope it doesn't take forever for the second Battle for Forever book to get released.

Smells like teen spirit
Maybe I’m a little too old for this genre but Savio is so entertaining and has great character development. Quite a unique plot and original ideas for a genetic mutation that you must experience it thru Wil Wheatons masterful storytelling. Give this one a chance. You won’t be sorry for at least a thousand years.

Immersive Action and Compelling Narration!
I was already familiar with the previous books from this author, so I was hopeful that Alexander X would live up to my expectations. I was definitely not disappointed as I became immersed in the unique world of Alexander "Grant." This Audiobook made the long round trip drive between LA and Las Vegas immensely enjoyable for my family! My teenage kids even stayed in the car to finish the last ten minutes in our driveway! Wil Wheaton's narration was precise and compelling, and added the perfect vocal tone to the story. I hope that the next installment will be released on Audiobook before our next vacation!

Slow moving YA
I bought this book based on all the 5-star reviews, but I feel like I wasted the credit. I am six hours into a ten-hour book and I could not care less about what happens next. It seems I am in the minority, but I am 43 years old and maybe that has a lot to do with it. I was hoping with Alexander being 1500 years old it would not be a highschool love/adventure story, but it is and on top of all that it moves as slow as molasses. The few times something happens, like an attack, even those parts of the book are not exciting.
This book is missing something and since I am not a writer, but a chef I can't put my finger on it, but it leaves you wanting for more than it has to give. I will not be finishing this book, because there are so many more books I could be spending my time on.
In my opinion, the characters are not developed and even though some things are explained to death, they are the unimportant parts of the book.
Wil Wheaton does a fantastic job as always, but even he couldn't keep me engaged in a boring story.

Cool mix of sci-fi and hidden history
Great book for a mix of tweens, teens, and adults. It’s hard to find a book that meets this criteria. I found this much more interesting than let’s say the Percy Jackson series because the author, Edward Savio, weaves in pieces of actual US history, as opposed to myths in the other series. As a parent it feels like the literary version of hiding spinach in a meal. The kids don’t even realize they are learning; they just feel entertained. Bonus!
My kids and I really enjoyed the superb narration. It was easy to follow character changes and the character voice added to being able to focus on the story. No weird slurring or character stereotypes.

Great audiobook
Great book but I can't help but feel the story and plot is a mish mash of movies and books I've previously listen and read and watched. But don't let that detract from the book it's very entertaining. Narration from wil Wheaton is very good. Probably one of my favourite narrators. Overall if u want to be entertain this is it, if u want something new different taxing the brain etc ur gonna be disappointed.

A great book
as above...found myself a tad confused with the descriptive aspects but got quite involved in the characters...
The humer is quality and action sequences well written ...
Obviously theres more to come..I have purchased the 2nd book b4 I've finished this so that tells you it definitely worth another credit...
I honestly dont know how many in the series or the year of publication but I can see the usual 6 book catalogue....though only 2 on audible...
Not a fan of bashing the ENGLISH chapters as I come from the MOTHER of most nations...maybe just maybe Edward Savio reads this and put a good word in for us over here across the pond...although I will not be holding my breath...

Wil Wheaton's narration never let's you down!
Pretty similar to lots of other titles out there (think Percy Jackson) but still novel in its own way. The narration is top notch.

I gave up
An idea that could be so good but this is not that story. This is story that never settles into a decent narrative. it's math is wrong throughout, tphere's a long series of ridiculous, tedious fights. I am an avid SF fan but this very poor indeed. The narration not great either.

Very different
I really enjoyed Wil Wheaton reading Alexander X. The storyline was unusual and very detailed. Great use of historical fact and fiction. Looking forward to book 2 in this series.

Where there's a Will there's a way
Ok. No way to write an unbiased review on anything read by Will Wheaton. The man is a TALENT!!!!!
This completely runs over the gaps in logic, common sense and 'WTF' plot points and character writing. So I bought the sequel too......
