Book #2 (as yet untitled) in the Crypts & Crusades saga.
Preface...
Both the Guild (the good guys) and the ECU (evil characters union) are under attack from an unknown foe. Even the best of the locals are no match for their new enemy. With nowhere else to turn, Magnar teleports to Earth to enlist the only proven Real Players who they think can help - Phil and Don. Joined by original EDPs Thar and Garl, the group departs on another beer-filled adventure, - but this time real death may await them.
Excerpt...
"What's plan B then?" Don asked with a tinge of hope in his voice. "There is a plan B, right? How are we getting home?"
"We're not," Phil replied with a sigh, seeing the same reply in Magnar's face. "We knew the risks when we accepted this quest. At least we're not dead."
Don looked around at the group. "The hell you say. Death I can handle. At least then it's over. When you're dead, you don't know you're dead. It's everyone else that feels the pain. Same thing if you're stupid."
