If I weren’t so exhausted, I’d have fought the decision, pushed on my allies to support me and maybe, just maybe, pulled out a few less-than-clean tactics to ensure my position but…they were right.

It’s time to retire.”Īll it takes is one little heart attack for the wolves to come out. You’ve built this company from the ground up and we all respect you. “Charles,” they said, “you’re a great guy. Of course, the board of directors didn’t much care for that kind of talk.

Fifty years was not long enough.īut what are you going to do when the doctor tells you that things aren’t looking good? That the stress of daily meetings, frequent plane trips and eighty hour workweeks was going to kill you? Personally, I’d rather die behind my desk than sit around and watch tepid police procedurals for the remainder of my life. Me? I’d much rather be sitting in my office, running one of the most successful corporations in the world. That’s the word just about everyone my age talks about, their eyes lighting up at the prospect of sitting around and playing bingo and golf for the rest of their days.

If you've listened to him in the two series 'The Good Guys' and 'The Bad Guys' by Eric Ugland, then you'll hear familiar voices, but they still work with entirely different people.All rights reserved.

Still, the overall story and progression was fun and has me looking forward to the next one. It's there, but not quite as fulfilling and satisfying as it could of been. Sure, there is opposition, but I felt like it was somewhat lackluster, sort of like ordering a steak and loaded baked potato meal, but them forgetting to actually give you the toppings and seasonings for the potato. So with all that said, I only give it 4 stars, mainly because I felt that the overall sense of resistance for the MC was lacking a bit, or rather it wasn't as much on the trial side of things as you'd want. From Colony Builder aspects of building to management, sneaky deals, exploration, whit, and a sensation of growth, if that's your thing, then look no further. Instead, you'll find a slow paced (at the start) adventurer who takes up a huge task, but a very satisfying task. Well, I'm here to say it is definitely worth the Tyme ) if you're looking for an action filled story, honor won through heroics, and quick level up rounds, this isn't what you'll find.

I am a huge fan of LitRPGs in general, but this one's take on a 'Colony Builder' had me wondering if it would be worth my time (I am a massive fan of Colony Builder games).
