Master of Puppets

Master of Puppets, Book 1

By: Eric Ugland

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

He thought he was ready for the apocalypse. Then it happened...

A Secret Service operative and dedicated survivalist, Special Agent Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario and regularly trained for them all.

He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so.

But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur.

He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders. Instead of falling back on known strategy, or making smart decisions based on, I don't know, logic, Del kind of just freaks out. Big time.

He knows he's got to get to the top of the tower he's in to find the wizard who presumably turned him into a living toy. Will the help of an academic rat and an exiled little dinosaur get him there? Doubtful.

But in all his failing, in all his traipsing around as a silly little red doll, Del starts to realize how ridiculous his life as a prepper actually was. After all, what's the point in surviving if you have no one to live for?

Master of Puppets is the first book in an all-new LitRPG adventure by Eric Ugland, bestselling author of The Good Guys series. Strap in for an immersive adventure full of quests, powerful magic, tower climbing, leveling up, wise-cracking landlords, and murderous cookies.

Super Creative & original LitRPG!

I love the concept. Great work Eric and Nick. Can’t wait for the next book!

Eric Ugland does it again

I have been following the author for years now and he’s quickly become one of my favorites right up there with Terry Pratchett and Sanderson. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this story but I had faith that Eric can tell a good story. Indeed he did. This story follows Del, who ended up in the body of a fluffy red puppet-like magical made monster of some kind that probably looks nothing like a certain Tickle Me Muppet ;)
The humor is delightful, and the story shows us the character development is subtle but nice.
If you’re looking for a fun and easy read, this is it.
