Lynn Raven may be the boss master of WarMonger 2050 with her online persona of “Larry the Snake,” but when the CEO of Tsunami Entertainment personally asks her, as a favor, to beta test a new augmented reality game, she has to face her greatest fear: going outside and dealing with . . . well, people. As she becomes more immersed in the game, the stakes rise and so do the obstacles. Now she has to face a new fear: is she willing to step into the real to win the future she’s always wanted?

The war against the oni heats to a flashpoint even as Tinker learns that the enemy has a dangerous new weapon, the nactka. What’s more, the Stone Clan has sent its most famous warlords, the Harbingers, to take control of the allied war effort. Are these elves friends or foes? Tinker’s newfound baby siblings are up for grabs. The babies, though, are wood sprites and aren’t going to take things lying down. Team Mischief, go!

When Peg, Meg, and Teg were first summoned Over Where, vast and varied life experience helped them adjust to a world where they were the only humans, magic was real, ships could fly, and reincarnation was a confirmed fact. In the company of the “inquisitors,” Xerak, Grunwold, and Vereez, the three newly appointed mentors rediscovered the Library of the Sapphire Wind.

Now the three mentors and their young allies will uncover the startling truth about what lies on the other side of the Aurora Borealis Bridge—a truth that holds the secret of Over Where, and that will change all their lives forever.

Once, military actions were entirely two-dimensional, confined to the surface of land and sea, but then submarines and aircraft added a third dimension, vastly extended by spaceflight. Now, consider that if time travel is possible, the fourth dimension of time opens up new possibilities for combat—necessitating new defenses, new strategies and tactics. It’s zero hour, in whatever time stream, so grab your time-appropriate weapon—be it sword or ray blaster—buckle on your general issue timeporter belt, and follow the Time Troopers into action across strange aeons!

In John Ringo and Lydia Sherrer’s new novel Into the Real, video games and real life merge and Lynn Raven (aka Larry the Snake) must step out of the game and into the real if she is to win the future she’s always wanted. Which got us thinking . . . What video game would you most like to enter and play for a chance to win? Maybe you’ve always wanted to smash turtles and sentient mushrooms Mario-style. Or perhaps eating little dots and running from multicolored ghosts is more your speed. Let us know in a short paragraph (100 words or fewer) for a chance to win a signed copy of Into the Real.
