An Unwelcome Quest
An Unwelcome Quest | Scott Meyer
10 posts | 25 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Ever since Martin Banks and his fellow computer geeks discovered that reality is just a computer program to be happily hacked, they've been jaunting back and forth through time, posing as medieval wizards and having the epic adventures that other nerds can only dream of having. But even in their wildest fantasies, they never expected to end up at the mercy of the former apprentice whom they sent to prison for gross misuse of magic and all-around evil behavior. Who knew that the vengeful Todd would escape, then conjure a computer game packed with wolves, wenches, wastelands, and assorted harrowing hazards--and trap his hapless former friends inside it? Stripped of their magic powers, the would-be wizards must brave terrifying dangers, technical glitches, and one another's company if they want to see Medieval England--and their favorite sci-fi movies on VHS--ever again. Can our heroes survive this magical mystery torture? Or will it only lead them and their pointy hats into more peril?

A similar story to the last one, in that it's about a rejected member getting back/revenge. I did enjoy the game within a game bit though. I'm interested to see where they go from here.

Sometimes starting a sequel after a long hiatus from the series feels like revisiting old friends. ❤️

blithebuoyant I find that I miss the characters of these books if I don't reread them now and again! Everybody but Brit The Elder. She gets on my nerves 😂 7y

Doing some plant care before I tackle even more unpacking/organizing. Finding myself in need of silly books lately, so finishing up Fight and Flight (4th in this series, not listed). I was worried that it would be hard for the author to make a new source of conflict after the last book, but these guys creating their own problems is so very believable, and it is making me smile.

Mindelan Going to need a new audiobook in a few hours, thinking of maybe grabbing the next Meg Langslow. What do you all pick up when you need something a little goofy? 7y
KCorter I would suggest Lumberjanes or Giant Days, but you already read those! Have you read Nimona yet? That one was great. 7y
KCorter You could also try 7y

I'm sticking this series out because I got suckered in by the $4.95/ea sale and I liked the premise, but faux feminism and blatant racism that pretends to be facetious is peppered throughout. I'd have taken a hard pass if I'd have read a review that said as much.

Phillip! My favorite character of the group, but honestly Martin, Tyler, Gwen, & both Brits are all fabulous gaming characters in this fun series about a hacker who find the hidden computer code to change the game code/matrix that is life and decides to use his new skills (and subroutines and Macros) to live as a wizard in medieval England (for the most part). #GamingInTheLitWorld #OctPhotoChallenge A happy accident find for me & fun on audio too!

The 3rd book in the series is (finally) addressing how male gamers treat women, but I hope it gets a bit more aggressive about it. Really enjoying this adventure.
