This is the first book in a new series. I really like the cover art and think it fits for the genre, but I’d love to get any extra feedback before I release this bad boy into the world.<\/p>\n
October, 2042 An extinction level asteroid, 213 Astraea, is cannonballing toward earth. Collision, imminent. An international team of scientists are working around the clock to avert the cataclysm\u2014few are optimistic. World Governments are preparing for impact with deep earth bio-dome bunkers, but only a select few lottery winners will be saved.<\/p>\n
Jack Mitchel, a thirty-two-year-old EMT living in a tiny studio apartment on the West Coast, isn\u2019t one of those winners. Still, there might be a way for him to survive Astraea; a slim chance, requiring a radical leap of faith. Through a connection at Osmark Technologies, Jack\u2019s acquired a NexGenVR capsule and with it, a one-way ticket to the brand new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online. Taking that leap of faith, though, means permanently trapping his mind in the game, killing his body in the process. Worse, one in six die during the transition and even if Jack beats the odds, he\u2019ll have to navigate a fantastical world filled with vicious monsters, domineering AIs, and cutthroat players.<\/p>\n
And when Jack stumbles upon a secret conspiracy to sell off virtual real-estate to the ultra-wealthy\u2014transforming V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age\u2014the deadly creatures inhabiting Viridian Gate\u2019s expansive dungeons will be the least of his concerns. If Jack can\u2019t game the system, he\u2019s going to be trading in a quick death for a long, brutal one \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
