Publisher's Summary

Be a hero in the ultimate game.

Are you a top-rated gamer?

Then you might have the skills to play the Game...where players are sponsored by actual demon lords, gods and goddesses, or Lovecraftian nightmares.

Enter Thera, a real kingdom at the crossroads of many other worlds, but with all the augmented-reality interfaces, character progression, and game mechanics that players know and love.

And the stakes of the Game?

Nothing less than Creation - every world in every universe and reality.

So...no pressure.

Thus Hector Savage, gamer extraordinaire, comes to Thera. Nothing can prepare him, though, for the schemes of Abyssal Lords, rampaging barbarian ghosts, and a host of nefarious forces who want him dead - before he can even make fifth level!

What Truly Makes a Hero?

This one is a great example of not paying attention to the cover, I had envisioned something wholly different than what awaited within. The narration from Jeff is spectacular as always and while the story takes some odd side alleys at times, I found the story engaging throughout as our main character comes to grips with a horrific past and faces the question.. can he really be a hero?

Great book, looking forward to book 2

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is there are a couple of books I enjoyed more in this genre, but only a couple!
Jeff Hays.. well what can I say, well bloody done Jeff! Your female character voices are crazy good. 5 stars to you bud.
