There is no peace in Rattermark. The weakened but undefeated clan is ready to fight for its survival until the very last drop of blood. The new clan leader, the brave warrior Hagen, raises the banner and prepares for a brutal war in the Borderlands. - Why should it always be me? Neither hidden mythical quests, nor supernatural forces of Biblical proportion pass by Harriton. The new government-imposed “social” quests are no exception. Right after returning from the Archipelago, our cavalier hero has no option other than accepting this quest. Thus, he must victory or death, rebirth or oblivion. Hagen raises the Clan Blade above his head as a symbol of power and takes up the duties of a clan leader. Meanwhile, the forthcoming war in the Borderlands is not the only scourge of the Fayroll world. Ancient evil penetrates the continent and takes rusty ancient swords in its deadly grip. The horrified developers of the game understand that they have made a terrible mistake, which will end in bloodshed. Undead creep out of their cemeteries, evil spirits unite into hordes, the Holy Order is in a state of siege… and how did Harriton get involved in all this mess? " Different sides" is the seventh book of the super-popular LitRPG and Gamelit series about adventures in the virtual world. Events of the last part continue to gain momentum. The Big Game is getting more serious and affects not only the virtual world... meeting old friends from past adventures and finding new, highly controversial acquaintances, the main character makes his way through the jungle of questions in search of the right answer. Intrigue, new actors, and fractions with their own interests are dragged into a tight knot that has to be cut by the main hero — a usual journalist who never wanted any glory or adventures. However, it is not up to him to decide — there is no way back, not anymore.
At times, I feel I was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, I am a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
I started writing in my late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after my first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, I had to give serious thought to changing my current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for my readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game (link) the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” I never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, I continued work on the now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. I am also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.
Decent read. I've gone through 7 of these books in about a weeks time. To me they have a true game feel to them. I look forward to more, but I have to wait until they are added to KU as I don't think they are worth over 6$ apiece. Until next time friends.
The book is good, not as good as others, but definitely fleshes out more of the world of fayroll and is more focused on event going on around the main character that about the main himself. A great setup book and i look forward to all the action that is to come.
I like this series but it seems every other book is a fluff piece. The previous book had plenty of action and adventure. This book just seemed like it was a filler to move the story along. Idk if I can continue to buy books in this series if I can’t count on whether I’m going to get a story or a filler story.
