Max is Back. And he's in so much more trouble than he expected. Rescue missions are never simple. Gamer Rick Danberg went into RiftWorlds Online, an MMORPG game that scans users' subconscious minds, to become cyborg Max McAlloy, to locate and protect the president's daughter, trapped inside. But finding her, an elf cleric named Silleste, and rescuing her from a four-armed space pirate, was only the beginning. He still has to keep her safe until they can log out. They escaped to the game's Fantasy World and Max just wanted to wait things out. But why are Inquisitors, space marine paladins in powered armor, rounding people up in a Fantasy World? In a system designed to fill players' subconscious wishes, that goes for the evil, cruel, and insane as well. Try as our heroes might to avoid trouble, trapped where death is permanent, it's hunt down clues or be hunted. With Ghosts and wraiths, giants and necromancers to deal with, they'll need more than just a group helping them. This is going to be epic.
