About this listen

Ever since Martin Banks and his fellow computer geeks discovered that reality is just a computer program to be happily hacked, they've been jaunting back and forth through time, posing as medieval wizards and having the epic adventures that other nerds can only dream of having. But even in their wildest fantasies, they never expected to end up at the mercy of the former apprentice whom they sent to prison for gross misuse of magic and all-around evil behavior.

Who knew that the vengeful Todd would escape, then conjure a computer game packed with wolves, wenches, wastelands, and assorted harrowing hazards - and trap his hapless former friends inside it? Stripped of their magic powers, the would-be wizards must brave terrifying dangers, technical glitches, and one another's company if they want to see Medieval England - and their favorite sci-fi movies on VHS - ever again. Can our heroes survive this magical mystery torture? Or will it only lead them and their pointy hats into more peril?

I've really enjoyed all the books in this series and hope they continue to get released. fun characters and an enjoyable romp with sci fi / fantasy coating.

great third book.

Was still entertaining, but I feel the first two books were better. Due to the narrative, it was quite repetitive. There were very few new characters or development, just building on old themes.

Not the strongest book in the series

As was the case with Book 2, still great characters with funny and emotional interactions, but the story does not live up to the pace and content of Book 1. I thought it was a good take on the whole RPG angle but a lot of the story felt very repetitive, given the different points of view between the groups on the quest. Despite this, parts of the story were quite enjoyable and overall it was worth listening to. Looking forward to Book 4!

Great Characters, OK Story

I really enjoyed this book. All 3 books in the series are great with a different storyline, so they quite unpredictable.

A continuation of the good fun from the previous books. I loved it as it was stupid, simple, nerdy, and romantic. I have already downloaded the next book and can’t wait
