About this book

Special Agent and dedicated survivalist Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario, and regularly trained for them all. He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He’s stranded in a weird world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders. And instead of falling back on known strategy, or making smart decisions based on, I don’t know, logic, Del kind of just freaks out. Big time. He knows he’s got to get to the top of the tower he’s in to find the wizard who presumably turned him into a living toy. Will the help of an academic rat and an exiled little dinosaur get him there? Doubtful. But in all his failing, in all his traipsing around as a silly little red doll, Del starts to realize how ridiculous his life as a prepper actually was. After all, what’s the point in surviving if you have no one to live for? Strap in for an immersive and quirky adventure full of quests, powerful magic, tower climbing, leveling up, wise-cracking landlords, murderous cookies, and plenty of laughs. It's perfect for fans of Chrysalis, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Threadbare!
