Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck.

Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope.

Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse.

Pain is real. Death is permanent.

He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm's disintegration and mutation effects.

Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, "The Stand", with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don't espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you'll be the judge of that).

So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks.
