The Pebsak Strikes Back: The Charmingly Tedious Undeath of ChattyCatty the Pet Lich Kindle Edition
This sequel to Vanishing in a Puff of Logic concludes the story of one neurotic gamer's desire to win at Nethack while tripping on shrooms.
On a slightly deeper level, the story is about that same gamer's desire to triumph as a female elven wizard who is, literally, naked.
And on an even deeper level . . .
Let's face it. There is no even deeper level.

This much-anticipated sequel to Vanishing in a Puff of Logic keeps you guessing until the very last page (and beyond). You don't have to be a Nethack fan to appreciate the mind games between ChattyCatty (the pebsak/lich) and his creation RegretMeNot (don't call her an elfmaid) as they attempt to outwit her patron deity Anhur (who's a bit distracted by teh intertubes, as well as maybe high on the pebsak's spine, which he ate in the previous novel). But Nethack veterans will certainly enjoy their unorthodox gameplay tactics during RegretMeNot's quest for ascension. The rest of us can focus on the dialogue, the puns, the double entendres, the action, the pranks, the parodies of paranormal romance, the allusions (which range widely from Tom Petty and Bob Dylan to Wallace Stevens and George Bernard Shaw to dozens of internet memes), and especially the closing courtroom drama (which features Daniel Webster the master mind flayer, Robespierre, Goya, and Tywin Lannister along with a gaggle of gods and goddesses) and its cataclysmic aftermath. I recommend reading this novel with a google search window open and upon finishing it, petitioning Studio Dongo to get to work on a sequel. I move for Everquest!

A classic adventure of romance and adventure. A tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme.
