This volume is a direct continuation of A Lesser God. When I publish it on Amazon, I may put them together in a single book. I am undecided what the two volume set title will be. When we get near the end of Chief Engineer I would love to hear your opinions.
A Lesser God was an exploration of the strengths of a team. I was trying to show how real people living in a Game would have different interests and be driven by different goals. That together they would be able to accomplish more, (master more magics, make more allies, build better bases, complete more quests) than any single player alone. Even if the single player is a lesser god.
Hopefully the reason why this volume is called Chief Engineer will become apparent as you read along.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
----------------------------------------
The generational colony ship Speedwell left Earth hundreds of years ago. Defying the odds it landed safely on its target planet. As the last generation of flight crew and first generation of settlers began building the colony, they discovered “ruins” on the planet. These "ruins" are actually a world spanning structure that hosts and runs a game.
The game is very dangerous, killing the unwary. It actively destroys technology brought into it. Human players are forced to defend themselves with the weapons of the game, spears, swords, knives, bows and magic to survive.
Join the tier six wizard Grandmother and her team, Todd, Ellen, Alex, Sarah and the selkie Companion as they travel deep into the structure. They will complete quests, reveal new crafts and spells and make new allies in their search for the grand prize.
