Jack Jensen is a middle-aged nobody who lives a lackluster life in an even more uninteresting town. Having sampled every job the small town of Merrill, Wisconsin has to offer, he has excelled at nothing but growing his beer gut and his luxurious curly, chestnut brown hair. His life is one of unrealized potential and lack of direction.

Things change one morning when his brother, an Army Major, lands his helicopter in the parking lot of Jack’s less-than-profitable gaming store in a desperate bid to thrust the perennial slacker into the role of saving the country, the world, and even more unlikely, himself.

Heroes of Last Resort is a LitRPG series that features leveling, detailed character systems, epic world saving quests, and much more. The story features a middle-aged MC born in 1975.

The Other Guys series style is more like a tabletop RPG than a videogame but each main character in the series has a personalized "AI-type" personality that is different depending on the character. Most of the story takes place in a fantasy realm separate from our own with people from Earth being sent through to the world of Rigara via magical portals.

Heroes of Last Resort contains:

• Detailed character system
• Epic world saving quests
• Fantasy violence
• Character sheets / system interface
• XP / levels / skills / character perks
• Rat Damon

Good book

The Character sheet stuff went long but good story and I like the narrator and need hays is always awesome even if not the main narrator.

Enjoyable

I loved the story, but I think the stats were repeated in detail too often. Most of the quips were cheesy, but entertaining. The performance was amazing. Overall, a light hearted, humorous, save the world book. Waiting for the 2nd installment.

Great humor and voices

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun story with my kind of humor and nostalgia. The variety of voices for all of the different creatures and side characters was awesome.

super good!

I am hoping there will be a second book. this focuses on people and story as much as fighting. I really enjoyed it!

THIS IS THE FOURTH BOOK IN A ROW THAT DOESN'T HAVE BOOK 2 OUT!!!
I'm so pissed.
T_T
I'm sobbing here that now i gotta go search for another book....
ok, now for an actual review:
This book made me feel hopeful and depressed all at the same time. =.= because i KNOW how it feels to work several jobs and feel like a putz. and its nice to have an escape fantasy, but every time i had to stop listening and come back to the real world....was just depressing...>.>....
i want all my Jack Of All Trade skills to be put to use as well....
it would be SO nice....
such a nice fantasy....
