About the Book
The Lord of the Rings meets Call of Duty in this delirious mashup pitting confused soldiers against legendary monsters. This riotous campaign of a novel could only have sprung from the nerdy minds of a science fiction award-winner and an extreme amateur landscaper.
No one could have been prepared for the day when orcs, trolls, and dragons fell from portals in the sky. But now a very tough but not-quite-prepared platoon of Marines is trapped on the wrong side. The enchanting world looks like Middle Earth, but to the dismay of even the geekiest soldiers, is nothing like it.
While the Marines fend off dangerous, improbable, and very rude assailants, their mission is to escort a Very Important Princess who could broker a crucial strategic alliance between worlds. What could possibly go wrong?
Praise for Runes of Engagement
[STARRED REVIEW] “Will be catnip to readers who love this combination of military SF, alternate history, and fantasy. ”-Library Journal
“Fun, action-packed, occasionally gritty, and full of jokes for geeks and Marines alike.”-Jim C. Hines, author of Terminal Alliance
