Ever since Martin Banks and his fellow computer geeks discovered that reality is just a computer program to be happily hacked, they've been jaunting back and forth through time, posing as medieval wizards and having the epic adventures that other nerds can only dream of having. But even in their wildest fantasies, they never expected to end up at the mercy of the former apprentice whom they sent to prison for gross misuse of magic and all-around evil behavior. Who knew that the vengeful Todd would escape, then conjure a computer game packed with wolves, wenches, wastelands, and assorted harrowing hazards--and trap his hapless former friends inside it? Stripped of their magic powers, the would-be wizards must brave terrifying dangers, technical glitches, and one another's company if they want to see Medieval England--and their favorite sci-fi movies on VHS--ever again. Can our heroes survive this magical mystery torture? Or will it only lead them and their pointy hats into more peril?

The third in the series, and I loved it. This was a lot of fun and contained the expected nerd snark the author delivers so effortlessly.
Any book that can make me literally laugh out loud, deserves at least 4 stars. As a computer nerd and fan of role playing games I could identify with situations in this series.
Another good edition to this series with one thing that bothered: Repetition. I get why the author did and it was an interesting idea but I don't think he pulled it off because it got in the way. Otherwise I like the characters and how they interact with each other. Fun stuff for fans of the series.
