A Word from the Author
What do you do when you learn that a group of aliens has accidentally taken up residence in your favorite video game? Especially when they know nothing about dragons, wizards, and believe they are on a real world. Dr. Anthony Kennan, renowned astrophysicist, expert and grand champion of the King of Gems video simulation game, and a terrible curmudgeon, must either help these strangers, or let them die for disrupting his adventure. When he learns they are actual aliens from a distant world, not merely some newbies messing up the game, everything changes. Will he help the aliens escape from the simulation? Or will he reveal their existence to the world and earn his coveted Nobel Prize?
