Mace is a coder on his first day of an exciting new job. When the world comes to a sudden and horrifying end, none would have expected them to be among the few survivors. Hyper-aggressive undead creatures hunt anything living on the surface, where even the grass and trees can kill you. Hiding underground is safe, but not much of a life. Their only escape is a virtual world where Shari can use her healing skills, and Mace can focus on something other than his fears. But Shari is a light elf, and Mace is a drow. Their people are ancient enemies, and neither would be welcome in the other’s world. Still they strive to come together in the game, while they scavenge for food and fight to stay alive in the real world. The odds are against them, and their food will eventually run out. Is their best hope for survival to find a way to upload themselves to the game permanently? Review: Dave Willmarth writes another fun story - First thing up front, is that I admit readily that I treat (and review) fantasy stories much differently than I would other genres, such as non-fiction, or historical writing (fiction or not), and biographies. I consider fantasy/sci-fi books to be pure entertainment, and judge the books almost entirely on that merit. In other words, if the suspension of disbelief doesn't require me to break any major bones, fine. I'm also tolerant of a few typos or grammatical errors as long as they don't kick me out of the story, and aren't so frequent as to become ridiculous. With that up front: this was an engaging and entertaining story. I'm now through the first two books, and well into the third, and find myself enjoying the characters and the word that the author has built. Does the "real world" part of the story require a healthy dismissal of some pesky biology? Yeah, it does. But if you get too hung up on that part, you miss the enjoyment of the characters' interactions, and the in-VR-world interactions. In other words if you focus on the pesky "real world" part of the story, you're missing the STORY part of the book. Your milage may vary if you can't get past the "contact with any living thing, presumably even bacteria, will kill you" part. The MC and his friends are likable characters, both in the "real world" and the "VR world" settings. There is character growth, plenty of humor, and the book is safe for teens, with any adult-time activities only being hinted at, and even then infrequently. (I don't mind books with adult-time stuff at all, but some folks are looking for books they feel comfortable sharing with their kids. This meets that criteria, if it's important to you.) Overall, I found the books well worth the read, and bought them all for eventual repeat reading. Review: Great story - This is a great novel that combines two seemingly disparate genres and does it well. The real life storyline is zombie survival. Mace lucked out getting into a secure facility, and even through he has running water, electricity,and a safe place to sleep, he’s alone. He plays a VR game so that he won’t go crazy from the loneliness. He still has to risk his life against the monsters outside to scavenge for food every couple weeks. Then one day he hears someone over the radio, Sheri, and two meet up so that they can work together to survive. Lots of great survivalist stuff in the real world story and a little romance. The game storyline, is mostly action, adventure MMO stuff. But something that the author is able to do, is make that game stuff relevant to the real world storyline. Mace wants to upload his mind to the game, giving him the possibility of living there as long as the electricity in their geothermal powered facility stays up, possibly centuries. But to do that, he needs to achieve a level of synchronicity with the game by training his mind to think of the game like it’s the real world. This gives the story the excuse to have both characters play the game. But what the author does that I think is interesting, is that he keeps the theme of survival in the game, at least for the drow storyline. In addition to that, the game itself notices that all the players have gone missing and tries to figure out how to adjust, even going so far as to give quests to Shari to bring players back to their world. Overall, I had a great time reading this. Though I’ll admit, I was already partial to the apocalypse survival genre.

This is a stellar start to the series *by J***H on May 8, 2018* If tour looking for some fun action packed adventure but also a struggle to just exist then look no further. Dave out did himself in the opening story of this series. This book had more twists and turns then I ever saw coming. It had me on the edge of my seat until the very last page. I truly enjoyed the character development in 5he book. It took a scared young man and showed just how rough and scary a apocalypse can be if ur alone....... The gaming aspects of the book were a very refreshing take. I enjoyed that the mc wasnt overpowered and has to earn "it" instead of being handed God like abilities. This is where spoilers come in...... The interaction between mace and the female lead were spot on. I like that she didnt just fall into his arms but is making him work to get it. The interplay between them is nothing short of comical. The take on mace being a drow is great. I love seeing a not very used race being used and described incredibly and makes you want to play one in your own game. The attention to detail for the "in-game" world was amazing. I like the look little odd flares and details that are slipped in. Makes it way to get lost and imagine your the one walking through the fields or the one swinging your sword. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a book you wont be able to put down. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/121220994-the-land-of-the-undying-dark-elf-chronicles-book-one](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/121220994-the-land-of-the-undying-dark-elf-chronicles-book-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
