This story involves both science based technology and magic.  It explores how one can become the other. Have you ever thought about how someone could end up living in a game world? I mean besides the easy "I died and was reborn inside a game world!"  I am talking about right here in our scientific universe.  How could it be done?  If a super wealthy software tycoon decided to make the game real, how would they go about doing it?  Now this story isn't about Earth turning into a game.  I've never liked the "everyone dies" at the start of those stories. This story is a version where you can leave all your loved ones safe at home, and still go play.  Maybe not right now, right here, but not that far away either. A Game World might be out there now, just waiting for humans to make that great leap across the dark sea of interstellar space and touch it. The generational colony ship Speedwell left Earth hundreds of years ago, in our near future. Defying the odds it landed safely on its target planet in the Sigma Draconis system. 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 non-human Companion as they travel deep into the structure. Their differing strengths and interests allow the team to learn more skills, master more magic, craft more items and complete more quests than any single player could. Even if the single player is a lesser god.   If you want to know how Grandmother assembled her team and became a lesser god, read Engineered Magic available at Amazon.
