Summary

Corporate flameout Ned Altimer dreams of leaving his world behind. So, when Earthblood Online splashes onto the VRMMO scene, he dives in and never looks back.

His advantages are twofold: exclusive access to the game’s three-day Head Start period, and a ridiculously handsome talking axe named Frank who has knowledge of the game’s deepest secrets...if the magnificent Frank ever feels like sharing them.

But those advantages also make Ned a target. Once the Head Start period ends, his fellow players will stop at nothing to rip that suave, violent, yet disarmingly charismatic axe right out of his hands.

In 72 hours, the greatest manhunt in gaming history is set to begin.

It’s gonna be a lot of fun.

Wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started this "read" but glad I did. Liked that the MC isn't perfect and had good character development and growth throughout. Loved the story and the performance really brought everything to life. Frank is awesome 👌

We all need a lil Frank in our lives

Yeah. Picked up the second book without hesitation. New fav.

Starts off very strong and only gets better as the book/series goes on. The workbuilding and plot is revealed with great pace, and the dialogue is quite funny. Particularly great if you’ve played MMORPGs before, because a lot of emphasis is put on stats/abilities/leveling etc.

New addiction

Main character seemed a little harsh at the start but really grows as the story developed. A snarky side kick who makes wise cracks at his expense was very enjoyable! An excellent read that kept me in suspense while in combat, which I find is hard to do in books. highly recommended

heck yeah!
