From The Publisher:
Corporate flameout Ned Altimer dreams of leaving his world behind. So when Earthblood Online splashes onto the VRMMO scene, he dives in and never looks back.
His advantages are twofold: exclusive access to the game's three-day Head Start period, and a ridiculously handsome talking axe named Frank who has knowledge of the game's deepest secrets…if the magnificent Frank ever feels like sharing them.
But those advantages also make Ned a target. Once the Head Start period ends, his fellow players will stop at nothing to rip that suave, violent-yet-disarmingly-charismatic axe right out of his hands.
In seventy-two hours, the greatest manhunt in gaming history is set to begin.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
