Playing by the book? That's not good enough for Crown Prince George! In his attempt to delay his appearance at the Emperor’s court, he triggers an alien invasion of his own star system. The whole of the Empire watches the live broadcast with bated breath as his fleet battles the awesome invaders. The Iseyeks - gigantic sentient praying mantises - are suitably impressed too, so they promptly remind the Crown Prince of his allied duties. The Sector Eight Fleet hurries to the Swarm’s aid… but sadly disregards the insects’ hive mentality. Desperate to prolong their own existence for a few extra months, the insects unflinchingly sacrifice the human fleet. What is George supposed to do? He can't turn back - not with a doomed fleet in his wake! So he battles through armadas of alien starships, ignoring the "Victory impossible!" system messages and laying an elusive path to freedom across yet unexplored star systems. George is bent on breaking free - and no amount of enemy can stop him!

I was debating between 4 and 5 stars; as I couldn't give it 4.5 stars I decided to give it 4.To be fair, I read this book in one sitting and finished it wanting book 3 to be translated already!! It is a lovely addition to the litrpg genre. If you liked the first perimeter defense book, you will surely like this one. The space battles are even grander and more extensive. The main character's connections with other people, factions, and alien races grows deeper. He becomes even more decisive and successful.
Yet this book wasn't as great as the first one for me, mainly for nit-picky reasons. The biggest thing for me was the main character's stance on crystals. In the first book, I liked his very principled and seemingly extreme (in the eyes of other people in the story) stance on drug crystals. He had nothing to do with them and had every trace of them destroyed on all his ships. Yet in this book, he seems very passive and blasé about some of his closest companions using them frequently.
A second thing is that the gaming aspects of the story, light as they are, were still emphasized more in the first book. I thought the way the faction bonuses occurred was explored nicely. In this book, they are still there, but aren't really explored. The consequences of high or low fame are either ignored or mainly resolved in a few paragraphs. When a new character discovers the game menus for the first time or when a character is met without any game info, these were barely touched upon (maybe in a future book? hopefully?). It just seemed like the "gaming" side took a step back and the "space opera" side took a strong step forward.

Beyond Death Perimeter Defense Book #2 Michael Atamanov Books Reviews
I am enjoying the Russian LitRPG very much and look forward to more. They are fast paced, loaded with deus ex machina, and provide a new insight into how young Russians may think about the world. They are not Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, but that's ok with me.
i got sucked into book 1 with kindle unlimited and had to buy book 2. there really was no choice in the matter. this author kept me up all night with believable characters that have flaws, a full steam ahead storyline, and continuous events that slide together. i have pre ordered book 3 and already have a headache thinking of the month long wait.
This series blows my mind!
The twists, the turns, the story, and just how well everything is written. So far this series has been a stay-up-late page turner that I can hardly get enough of.
If you're aware of Eve online or just space fleet strategy then the book is very easy to follow. It has some politics thrown in there plus the ever looming question of how real the game is.
Great read!
I was really hoping for a little more LITRPG, this was a fun story... But 98% a poor mans sci fi book with 2% litrpg. The author writes in a very broad strokes style with very little to no specifics. Battles are ... we won or we lost. Almost no strategy and zero military/tech, class, race etc detail. Seems like a young tween book. If this had more LITRPG elements I could forgive the author, but as a regular sci fi book there are many better writers out there who can flush out a story with specifics and detail.
Cons Like the first in the series, this book is written more in the form of a sci-fi genre than a LitRPG. To clarify, there are few game mechanics and very limited character sheets. This book is more about the story than the game.
Pros The author has managed to keep some mystery in the book and even some of the series originality. The book has action, both victory and defeat, all dealt with in good believable fashion.
Continuous growth in an epic universe, along multiple lines so you are never board. He is trying to become rich, trying to become powerful, trying to become famous and trying to stay alive. Around him he is winning over those who once hated him and using them to propel him forward while perfecting methods of battle previously unknown.
I enjoyed this continuation of the tale while at the same time occasionally shaking my head at the silliness of it. The premise of a man tricked into joining what he is told is some special video game and finding himself living as the character wears a bit thin at times, but the overall story is still fun.
I think my biggest issue was the size of the battles. The forces involved grew to ludicrious levels which pulled me out of my immersion a bit.
I do like the characters and wished the development of the relationships got a bit more time, but overall, there is nothing to complain about here.
Its a fun, if occasionally a bit flat, tale
