BE A HERO ... IN THE ULTIMATE GAME Are you a top-rated gamer? Then you might have the skills to play The Game ... in which Players are sponsored by real Demon Lords, Gods and Goddesses, or Lovecraftian nightmares. You will enter Thera, a kingdom at the crossroads of many other worlds. Don’t worry, there are the usual augmented-reality interfaces, character progression, and game mechanics you love. The stakes of The Game? Nothing less than Creation—every world in every universe and reality. So ... no pressure. Thus Hector Savage, gamer extraordinaire, comes to Thera. Nothing can prepare him, though, for the schemes of Abyssal Lords, rampaging barbarian ghosts, and a host of other bad guys who want him dead—before he can even advance to fifth level! Eric Nylund is the New York Times bestselling author of 16 novels—including HALO: The Fall of Reach. Nylund has helped make over 50 video games such as Gears of War. He lives near rain-drenched Seattle.

Hero of Thera is a special novel for me. The relatively new genre of LitRPG (stories about gamers and games) feels like what I've been preparing for my entire life--an avid gamer since I was a kid, making video games for 15+ years, and honing my writing skills for the last two decades (still working on that last one...).
:)
I hope you enjoy reading Hero of Thera at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.
PS: for fans of A GAME OF UNIVERSE, there is a connection to that novel ... very loose, but a few ideas and one old character from GOU are in a new time and setting, and, of course, there is still a game being played... just a different sort. Don't worry about having to read GOU first. HERO is very much a stand alone novel/series, independent of GOU.
Eric Nylund is a New York Times bestselling and World Fantasy Award nominated author of sixteen novels including HALO: THE FALL OF REACH and the LitRPG novel, HERO OF THERA.
