Publisher's Summary

Continue Playing the Game? Yes / No

The Kingdom of Thera is a crossroads to many worlds and realities. Here a secret war between the gods plays out via their proxy mortal champions. These player-champions use all the augmented-reality interfaces and game mechanics that role-playing and video gamers know and love.

Join Hektor Saint-Savage, marine and martial artist extraordinaire; Morgana Nox, shape-shifting druid-thief and trickster; and the cantankerous dwarf Elmac Arguson as they punch, blast, stab, and slither their way through the second Hero of Thera novel.

Can they outwit, outfight, and outrun assassins? The Imperial Knight Champion of Chaos? Feisty gnomes with slide rules? A horde of a thousand inebriated simians?

There’s only one way to find out....

Eric Nylund is the New York Times best-selling author of many novels - including HALO: The Fall of Reach. He has helped create over 50 video games like Gears of War. He lives near rain-drenched Seattle.

Has it's moments

The story has the potential to be super interesting but I find that just like in the first book it suffers from a main character that is too lucky for the novel's own good. There is no tension in any challenges faced by MC at this point because so far in the two books he's managed to miraculously prevail against much stronger foes everytime, some meaningful defeats would do this series good.

I do have my hopes up for the next one because it ends with a focus on the game system and player vs player which I think are the strong points the author should be taking advantage of but so far has only slightly delved into it.

Great book

I was fortunate enough to get to beta listen to half of this a month or two ago. I’ve been impatiently waiting for the rest of it. Man it did not disappoint. Great story, action and Jeff killed it on narration. I love the world and the game mechanics with classes. Can’t recommend it enough.
