    Tim and his friends find out the hard way that you shouldn’t question the game master, and you shouldn’t make fun of his cape.

    One minute, they’re drinking away the dreariness of their lives, escaping into a fantasy game and laughing their asses off. The next minute, they’re in a horse-drawn cart surrounded by soldiers pointing crossbows at them.

    Tim now has the voice and physique of a prepubescent girl. Dave finds that while he lost a foot or two in height, he somehow acquired a suit of armor and a badass beard. Julian’s ears have grown ridiculously long and pointy. And Cooper… well Cooper has gotten himself a set of tusks, a pair of clawed hands, and a bad case of the shits. He also finds that he’s carrying a bag with a human head in it – a head that he had chopped off when they were still just playing a game.

    Shit just got real, and if they want to survive, these four friends are going to have to tap into some baser instincts they didn’t even know existed in their fast-food and pizza delivery world.

    It’s fight, flight, or try to convince the people who are trying to kill them that they don’t really exist.

    Meanwhile, a sadistic game master sits back in the real world eating their fried chicken.

    Rude, crude, foul, crass, and course — exactly how I remember sessions of D&D going when I was younger. Not for those who object to profanity or scatological humor, but uproariously funny if you can deal with that. 🙂

    For Lieutenant Alexis Carew, it should be the perfect assignment — a command of her own and a chance to return to her home star system.

    What she finds is a surly crew, the dregs of every frigate and ship of the line to pass through on the way to the war’s front, a first officer who thinks the command should have been his, and colonial worlds where they believe a girl’s place is somewhere very different than command of a Queen’s starship. Add to that the mysterious disappearances of ships vital to the war effort and an old enemy who seems intent on convincing her he’s changed. Then there’s the mongoose with an unnatural affinity for her boots. 

    HMS Nightingale (Alexis Carew #4) is now available for preorder on Amazon and will release November 10th.
