Book number two of a two book science fiction series. I read the well printed and well bound MMPB that I bought new from Amazon that was
published by Baen in 2024. I look forward to the third book in the series.
Lynn Raven is a 17 year old girl living with her ER nurse widowed mom in
the Baltimore area of the USA in the 2040s. Lynn moonlights after high school as an old mercenary named Larry Coughlin, a Tier One player in
the WarMonger 2050 FPS (first person shooter) online game. She collects guns and health in the game for resale for hard cash dollars, helping
her mom out with the bills and saving money for college. And she also torments boys in her school, killing their characters randomly in the WarMonger game.
Lynn was personally recruited by the billionaire inventor, Robert Krator
of WarMonger 2050, to move to his new game, an outdoors AR (augmented reality) FPS game called TransDimensional Hunter, as a beta tester with
free equipment and such. She and her team of fellow high school
students ended up winning the first worldwide competition of the game.
But now the AR game is getting more intense and their team is having conflicts. And weird things are happening around planet Earth with electrical supplies.
As usual with John Ringo books, Ringo dedicated the book to:
"As always
For Captain Tamara Long, USAF
Born: May 12, 1979
Died: March 23, 2003, Afghanistan
You fly with the angels now.".
Lydia Sherrer dedicated the book to her dear readers.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (724 reviews)
