Synopsis
The Game was authentic from top to bottom, and most players had forgotten it was a game. When the reigning Emperor really was murdered, the prime suspect was the game's main programmer, Kerickson. Fired from his job, pursued by a policeman convinced of his guilt, Kerickson sneaked into the Game to find the real murderer. But he had lost access to his control room and only had the aid of the mouse-munching owl who was the Goddess of Wisdom--if only she were programmed correctly. But Minerva had more bugs than Cerberus had teeth.

From the Back Cover
ARE YOU READY FOR THE ULTIMATE ROLE-PLAYING EXPERIENCE?
Kerickson was the main programmer of the Imperium Game, a three-dimensional recreation of the Roman Empire, complete with a slave market, public baths, gladiatorial combat, and a pantheon of ingeniously programmed deities. The Game was incredibly popular, exciting, and flawless-or so it seemed, until the god programs unexpectedly began to exceed their parameters. Suddenly, the Game was out of control. The gods ran rampant, life became violent and chaotic, the Roman emperor turned up dead-for real--and Kerickson was the prime suspect. Pursued by a policeman convinced of his guilt, Kerickson fled into the increasingly dangerous world of the Game. Now a lowly gladiator trainee, Kerickson must find the identity of the true murderer, and quick-because if the authorities don't get him, the gods surely will.
