About the series
Richter is taken to a world of magic and hostile factions, where he starts to build a kingdom. Alliances and growing power shape his choices. This guide treats the main story as unfinished.
What to expect
The author’s description puts kingdom-building and alliances alongside danger from powerful creatures. Our heavy-stats rating makes this a choice for listeners who want game detail as part of that growth.
The audio
Nick Podehl reads Founding, and the author’s page has an audio sample. Test the reading voice there, then check the narrator on the store edition you choose.
Do not use the length of the first book to budget the whole series. The recordings vary in length; the list below is a better guide to the commitment.
Skip it if
You only start complete stories. “On hold” is our label for the long release gap, not a statement that the author has cancelled the series.
Where to start
