Thirty-six year old Amy had a normal boring life trying to control everyone elses lives. Not having much luck with her daughter Tara she agrees to try out the new Virtual Reality game that Tara is Beta testing.
Entree Earless Erika the bold pirate who lives in a brothel fights handsome pirates and works under Captain Bartholomew Portuguese. Unfortunately for Amy the games virtual reality designer has broken away from the company and wants to destroy the games creator and by creating a virus that removes all exits from the game he might just manage it.
captain Corbin finds Amy attractive as soon as he realizes she's a player, even more so when she beats him at swordplay. However how can a relationship form when they are both stuck in this virtual world?
The characters of Corbin and Amy are absolutely lovable in their inability to see the game characters as less then real people. Amy sets up a retirement plan for the girls in the brothel and Corbin creates a blockade so he can provide better working conditions. No in game instant messenger system means that because they are on opposite sides they often have to send pirates as go betweens...Honestly people get a parrot.
A thoroughly exciting read that leaves you laughing and crying and cheering for the good guys right till the end. With a full cast of other very believable characters it's definitely one you'll want to reread for months to come.
