Publisher's summary
When the real world is threatened, it's up to the players in a virtual one to save it.
Van Vanyushin doesn't see the point in ever leaving the beautiful digital world of the game he loves - and for good reason. In the industrial wasteland he calls home, it is often the only way people can experience life's simplest pleasures. But his allegiance to the game is tested when an ambitious CIA agent named Sang Ngo calls upon him to help as she goes undercover in the game to investigate Draco - the corporation responsible for creating the massively popular role-playing game Dragon Kings of the New World.
Sang is a gifted hacker who feels nothing but contempt for those who waste their lives in what she sees as a false reality...but when people start dying in the game, she must find out why. Van, a talented gamer, is her guide to navigate the world, level up their newbie characters fast, and get into some of the most dangerous areas of the game. He dreams of becoming a pro gamer sponsored by Draco one day, but his partnership with Sang threatens to expose secrets from his past that could jeopardize those plans.
Now, they will have to put aside their differences to discover whatever - or whoever - is killing players, but the truth they find is darker than either of them imagined....

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world. Their kidnapper, the vain, self-styled god Dolos, refuses to send them back unless they can accomplish an impossible task. Oddly, Dolos doesn't seem to care if they succeed or not. Luckily, Henry and Jason studied Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) on Earth. Unfortunately, a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many other useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus.

Something quite odd is happening in Second World - the planet's foremost MMORPG. Something that's causing alliances to be broken, and friendships, forgotten. A worthless low-level mine becomes the stage of vicious battles, its burned ruins suddenly contested by the game's toughest clans. Every border is controlled, and every road in the province blocked off. The weak players and NPCs alike are subjected to non-stop violent raids courtesy of Eastern invaders. And the strong are scouring the virtual world for the culprit - the weirdest noob the game has ever seen.

My life was ordinary, but never boring. That is, until a colossal tower landed smack-dab in the middle of the city. What should have followed was mass panic and hysteria, but I never got to that part. Why? Simple. I was taken along with 99,999 other people from Earth and dropped onto an unknown world. Strange beings appeared before us—floating, featureless figures that call themselves demi-gods. They ruled this place, this fantastical world called Gaea. The reason why they took us? We'd supposedly been selected to show that Earth was worth saving from an upcoming cataclysmic event.

Then that comfortable world ended in just one terrifying day.

Horror, Humor, and Heroes is a collection of twelve short stories, one novella, and a preview for my next novel that should contain enough variety to entertain you readers. Sample some of my finest offerings, such as - a guardian wolf fearing the coming of man, a producer willing to do anything to bring the first pay per view live werewolf hunt to the world, and a zombie running for congress.

Another fun LitRPG
I was hesitant to try this book because the whole CIA aspect is overdone to me. Im glad I tried it. Dante Doom has created a fun series that is completely engulfing and I found myself looking for reasons to listen to what happened next. Was not expecting the alien twist. Nik Magill is the reason I tried the book despite being uncertain on the premise as he is one of my absolute favorite narrorators and he nails it again in this book. I will definitely be checking out the next installment when it releases.
I was given a free review copy of this book by the author or publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Gamer Chow
It's so easy to put off gamers as people who do nothing but play video games 24/7 and eat gamer chow... Well, that's Van in a nutshell. He wants nothing more than to be a pro gamer and have people attend to his every need while he plays his VR game. When he's enlisted by the CIA to help Sang explore the world of a video game, his life and hers is turned upside down.
I loved the interaction between the characters and I loved envisioning the worlds created by Dante Doom. There was several twists and turns to this book and I'm excited to see where this series goes. While there is definitely room to grow in this series, the book does end without having a massive cliffhanger (yay because I hate when that happens).
If you enjoy LitRPGs, this is definitely a book to pick up. If you just love fantasy and want to explore a LitRPG, this would be an excellent book to start with.

Fun, humor, and adventure
I rarely like gamer stories. Loved Ready Player One, but most in this sub genre are difficult to get through. This one, however, is really good. I mean hell (pun intended), with a name like Dante Doom, how could it not be good. I think where this book is better is simple, good characters. Magill is really good and gives the main characters depth and their own voice. Looking forward to another.

Fun Litrpg with hacker
The outside world is not focused on so take the summary with a grain of salt. The description is otherwise pretty fair, so if it's your cup then you're likely to enjoy it! I found some of it rough and forced like Van and Sang arguing when nothing in the past indicates the argument is ahead. About 3 instances of that that are very clear like in one Sang's frustration at Van for not shutting up. I just didn't see him talk a ton nor did Sang complain before. Of course, I could have just missed it. The gaming was alright and had interesting mechanics. The game has a focus on teamwork so PvP has negative side effects. I am genuinely curious about the future of this series and looking forward to the next installment! I agree with other reviewers that you don't have to be a gamer to enjoy this mystery.

Fun LitRPG
I am a sucker for the LitRPG genre, and this one is a pretty entertaining ride. The main characters get along pretty well, and mesh well considering they are trying to put together two differing aspects. The reason for them being in the game is a pretty unique one, at least by the LitRPG genre standards. It has a lot of great things to offer for those that like sci-fi, fantasy, humor and action.
The narration by Nik Magill is great, and he brings all the characters to life with unique voices and inflections. The pace is nice, and covers many little arcs before hitting the climax. I look forward to the next book, and future adventures for Van and Sang.

A unqiue twist on the LitRPG genre.
The Star Dragon is the first book in the Dragon Kings of the New World series, a brand new LitRPG novel that adds quite a unique spin the genre. Invasion via cyber space?!? While there a few inconsistencies here and there, the story is pretty dang fun and is loaded with likable characters and plenty of action. Also a ton of laughs...making one of the leads a wiseass and having one of his first pranks backfire on him was great. First time I've seen a bard be a lead character! Quite interested to see where the story goes from here.
The book is narrated by Nik Magill, and as always he does a fantastic job of bringing the characters and story to life. He never disappoints.

Interesting
This is not the usual type of book for me but I loved the cover and the book blurb. I’m glad I listened to it as I genuinely enjoyed it. I liked the writing style and while I’m not a gamer I have friends that are so I found Van to be very realistic. Great listen can’t wait to get the next one
