Hey, guys. The time is finally here. My novel, Moon Wars, launches today.

I ended up talking the publisher into letting me mention Zero-K in my author's note in the beginning.

You can grab a copy here --> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08V8L11FS/

Reviews are very much appreciated. They're like metal reclaim for authors!

If the book does well, I hope to have more time to play Zero-K. We shall see.

Can an RTS Player Save the Universe?

It is 1999, in the last few months before Y2K. Alex, a sophomore in college at Ohio University, is failing his classes due to spending too much time playing Real Time Strategy (RTS) video games. Although he knows he should take a break from gaming soon, he also has to figure out his response to two new people in his life: Haley is a classmate who because she is a fellow gamer seems to understand him better than most of his friends, while the mysterious Que has sent the two of them an unreleased RPG/RTS - Moon Wars - with a challenge to beat the hybrid game.

Despite an initial aversion to the RPG aspect of the challenge, Moon Wars, Alex finds himself driven to skill up and master the tough challenges. The single-player campaign, consisting of conquering sufficient bases on the Moon to withstand an invasion from Earth, seems impossible. Not one to give up easily, Alex uses all his experience (and help from Haley) to strategize his way forward. Along the way, they stumble upon secrets buried inside the game.

Oh, forgot to add, there's a bit of an homage at the very end too when other players congratulate the main group on beating the AI in the game finally. Hope it doesn't upset anyone! Haha.

Thanks again, guys - especially if you left a review.

The book hasn't been a smashing success, but I hope it draws a few people to Zero-K over time.


5.0 out of 5 stars
Good LitRPG to start with
This was a very fun and interesting read. I couldn't put this book down once I started it. It's has a very interesting plot that makes you wanting more once all is said and done. The characters are fun to read and the book itself seems to draw inspiration from other media.

Action pack gamers delight
Very good storyline and incredible detail in the gaming strategy. The characters were easy to like and admire. A good emotional character base was made and believably built upon. I would definitely recommend others to read and play!

RTS is dead? Long live RTS! Long live Zero-K!

Plot kinda reminds me of ender's game, but ender's game kinda sucked imo... This seems much cooler and believable.
