Sometimes even a geek can become a hero.
Dennis and his friends
have been LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) since high school. Now, in
his 20s, Dennis is seriously considering giving up LARPing for good.
He’s tired of dealing with his overzealous friend Mark; he’s tired of
his older brother Brad’s constant put-downs; and he’s tired of the fact
that he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Check that. Not a girlfriend, but
the
girlfriend. Alyssa—the one woman he’s been pining over for years.
Dennis
and his fellow LARPers have never been considered cool, in their small
island community of Verona, located off the coast of Washington State.
But all of that is about to change . . .
While
Dennis and his friends are attending a big LARP tournament on the
mainland, a rogue terrorist group of Mongolians in medieval garb, led by
an American madman, invade Verona and take its citizens
hostage—including their families and friends.
When the
LARPers find out what’s happening in their home-town, they do what any
dedicated LARPer would do: they put on their armor, strap on their
swords, and fight their way home—LARP-style!
"Justin Calderone's
LARP: The Battle for Verona is a witty,
action-packed adventure that will leave you breathless. Sharp-edged, and
lots of fun!" -- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of
Assassin's Code and
Dust & Decay.
About the author:
Justin Calderone is 35 years old, and has been writing stories as long
as he’s been able to hold a pencil. Justin began to work actively on his
writing in 1995 after reading Jack Kerouac’s novel,
Desolation Angels.
The freedom and spirituality of Kerouac’s prose struck a deep chord
with Justin, and he has been defining and finding himself through his
own writing ever since. Justin’s first book, the poetry novel
Revolutions, was released in 2004, and is available at bookstores everywhere, and online.
