Rules Free VRMMO Life: Omnibus I (Volumes 1-4) (VRMMO Life Omnibus)
Stuart Grosse - 2017
Age of Anarchy Online (AAO) is the newest game released by Icestorm, makers of the legendary World of Destiny (WoD). Unlike VR games before it, AAO promises a 110% 'Better Than Life' realism experience, and to showcase this, Icestorm announces that AAO will have no 'Out of Character' rules, save for actions like hacking or exploiting system errors. Players can do anything to NPCs and even other players, and there will be no consequences save what one may suffer in game. "Do what thou wilt, but it may be done to you in turn." Mike Greene, better known in WoD as Torgan, a max level Paladin and leader of the Lords of Light, one of the top 'light side' guilds in WoD, now sets off on a new adventure in AAO. -------------------- Author's Note: If you haven't guessed, there's going to be all kinds of nastiness in this story. Violence, language, racism, sexism, sex, gore, vore, and more! If you have triggers of any kind, this is your warning. If you're looking for a nice, heartwarming tale like Sword Art Online, keep looking. There will be 'good guys' as well, but this is a story where Might IS Right. However, if you've read Watchmen and Wanted, and like what you read (READ, not the movies!), then you just may find this story in your strike zone. And for f*ck's sake, this is just a story! Don't take this as an endorsement of any of the actions in this story. **This is an omnibus edition containing the first four volumes of Rules-Free VRMMO Life.**

The Forever Man Box Set - 6 Books: The Complete First Series
Craig Zerf - 2016
"This is one of the best epic fantasy books that I have ever read. It is in a class of its own. Zerf has created a cross between the heroic epic fantasy of David Gemmell and RR Martin as well as a good slice of Steven King".
"One of the best books on the Apocalypse that I have read!"
"What a compelling read. I was unable to put the book down".
The world, as we know it, has ended. One man stands resolute. A man who has been trained in the savage arts of war. A man who lives his life according to a creed. A simple man who wants none of the power thrust upon him. This man is Marine Sergeant Nathaniel Hogan, seconded to the American Embassy in London and, although he does not know it, he is – The Forever Man.
"A wonderful twisting, turning adventure from book one."
"Riveting! Oorah and kick ass indeed!"
"The Forever Man series blew me away! I started reading book 1, 'Pulse' on the 17th then couldn't stop. I purchased the rest of the series, 2 - 6 and read them one after another. The stories are fast moving and you really care what happens to the characters. I can't urge you strongly enough to try this series."
The first pulse occurred in the old calendar year of 2022. A sequence of gigantic solar flares created a series of massive electromagnetic pulses that stopped the heart of our modern world and returned us to the DARK AGES. Tens of thousands died within the first few hours as airplanes fell from the skies, hospitals ceased to work and every form of modern transportation ground to a halt. Within days the death toll had reached the hundreds of thousands. Fires raged unchecked through the cities, water supplies ran out and survivors turn on each other as mob rule surpassed all else. And Nathaniel finds that he has been changed by the huge amounts of Gamma radiation in the solar flares. They have enhanced his natural abilities, giving him increased speed, strength and healing. Indefinitely extended his life span and enabling him to be able to draw on the power of the solar flares to create magik. But even The Forever Man was not prepared for what happened next, as the ongoing flares tore a hole in time and space, creating a gateway through which ‘they’ appeared. From the realms of fantasy came the orcs, the goblins and, leading them all – the Fair Folk. Were they here to help – or to conquer? The ultimate Dystopian superhero. Craig Zerf has gotten serious! This is the first in his MAMMOTH new Heroic fantasy. A true Epic dystopian fantasy that covers hundreds of years of man's dystopian existence under the yoke of the Fair-Folk. Award winning author...Chosen by London Radio BBC 4 as a "BEST READ" – Dystopian apocalyptic fantasy, Dystopian fantasy adventure ˃˃˃Chosen by London Radio BBC 4 as a "BEST READ" – Fantasy Superhero Saga SF CROWSNEST - Craig Zerf is inflated with invention and well-endowed with wit – Superhero Books Free.
