One of our English major alums, Tyler Lee (Class of 2011), has recently published his second book of speculative fiction, Load Custom Character. It's already gotten quite a bit of buzz on-line and the reviews are pouring in--almost universally positive. Having had a chance to read it over break, I can attest that it's well worth your time. It follows the tradition of "people sucked into a fantasy world and forced to fight for their lives," yet without making it sound like a by-the-numbers approach. If you read or watched Ready Player One, you'll like this book, and you'll like how he subtly subverts the narrative so you're not getting quite the same story--indeed, he offers quite a few surprises along the way.
