Well, he's the last elf standing. It's confusing not being human anymore. But being the only living member of the Biscuit's Union has its benefits. No need to take on shifts baking cookies, for one. No one telling Clyde what to do. No one.... You have been offered a quest by the Biscuit's Union: Rebuild the Guild. Reform the guild by having at least eight members in good standing by the end of one week.

Story
Just yesterday, Ben was a petty criminal getting by on fleecing New York’s one-percenters. Today, he's got a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. And Ben’s thinking maybe this time around, he’ll use his skills at disarming and deceiving to help out people other than himself. Maybe. Watching a medieval City Guard fight off a 20-foot-tall ooze that crawled up from the sewers will make you think twice about life decisions.

Story
We join Montana, recently returned from an impromptu study abroad trip, a bit wiser, a bit broader in perspective, and a lot freaked out by the once-dead person who's currently in his bedroom. Possible zombie sightings aside, he's finally ready to take his job as Duke seriously. And just in time too - not only are the politics of the capital rapidly closing in on Montana's little valley holding, but there are also goblins to negotiate with. Plus, that cult threatening to take the lives of his citizens.

As usual, Montana Coggeshall is hell-bent on doing what's right, even if what's right isn't exactly what's wise. So he embarks on a quest to vanquish the corrupted ursus, a threat so large they could destroy the entire world of iNcarn8. Does Montana head out after months of training for cold weather conditions, amassing an army, and strategizing with his top aides? Not really. It's more like he just walks out of his holding one day with a guide and the members of his hirð. They're just a bunch of angry teddy bears, right?

Story
Adrift in an unknown sector of space, Slater and the crew of the Franklin are cut off from friendly support and surrounded by enemies on all sides. The mysterious council means to destroy him, but a derelict core is a deadly opponent, and Captain Slater will stop at nothing to get his crew home safely. It’s time for Slater to go on the offensive. It’s time to take the fight to the enemy. It’s time to counterattack!
Publisher's Summary
"Has your life here been so difficult? You seem to fail upward at every opportunity."
So says Careena, the hag teaching Clyde Hatchett how to use magic. It certainly doesn't feel like that to Clyde, who's still got a day job scraping mud (at least he hopes it's mud) out of monster pits, and whose "thieves' guild" is more concerned with baking cookies than with protecting him against a rival gang. He keeps accumulating roommates - like a freed sex slave and a retired paladin - who make him nervous, but for very different reasons. And let's not get started on the mimic that's taken up residence by Clyde's shower, or the supposedly tame grimeling in his closet....
And yet even with all the annoyances, distractions, and occasional death threats, Clyde's found himself at the center of a massive conspiracy to kill the Emperor. He's the only one with proof that could save the man, and take down an entire network of corrupt nobles, evil slavers, and power-hungry despots. Clyde really hopes Careena is right about him - the fate of the entire Empire depends on it.

Awesome story, even better series
Eric Ugland has been writing some of the best recent stories they're engaging, sincere characters. Generally, the characters Ugland writes about are like many of the people I know in my personal life. The most fun characters in this story and series all have just a tiny bit of larceny in their hearts but at their core are good and decent people. Good story telling.

Eric doesn't disappoint another great book
Again another great book in the guys series I didn't want say good or bads since I believe it the all be tying in together. Was at 1 point drinking a soda when the author talks about one of the guards doing what any guard would do what any guard would ever do. And then he ran away screaming . I was drinking soda at the time I blea mountain pew out of my nose it was very painful but very funny. Good time can't wait to see how they tie to together.

A great read good pace hated to see an end
I Tend to enjoy the fish out of water type stories where people have to learn their new environment. This may prejudice me to these books.. I also like the romanticism of the rogue type character. And medium fantasy of violence is not a problem for me I hope you enjoy Mr. Ugland books as much as I do.

If you loved The Good Guy Series, you will love this one. I highly suggest you ignore the summary of what this book is about cause it's very wrong. I think the author had it as a place holder and never updated it.

Is that a bug on my windshield?
Nope, just a dagger in my eye.
Props to Eric Ugland on another excellent book in this series. This and 'The Good Guys' series are so good, I wish they were written a few years back so I could binge-listen to them. Lots of stealthy pursuits, court intrigue the loss of what seemed to be key 2nd tier players.
Neil Hellegers' performance is perfect for these series.

Can't Wait for 3rd book!
Love Ugland's style and other series. Funny without trying to be and just dark enough that I don't get bored.
great book.
Not spoiler per se, but why would the MC not have latched on to the warning that the 1st player he met in book 1 about the ability to change spawn point. Seems to be a theme in some of the recent LitRPG which I am not a fan of IMHO.
