The adventures of an American hacker in Medieval England continue as Martin Banks takes his next step on the journey toward mastering his reality-altering powers and fulfilling his destiny.
A month has passed since Martin helped to defeat the evil programmer Jimmy, and things couldn’t be going better. Except for his love life, that is. Feeling distant and lost, Gwen has journeyed to Atlantis, a tolerant and benevolent kingdom governed by the Sorceresses, and a place known to be a safe haven to all female time-travelers.
Thankfully, Martin and Philip are invited to a summit in Atlantis for all of the leaders of the time-traveler colonies, and now Martin thinks this will be a chance to try again with Gwen. Of course, this is Martin Banks we’re talking about, so murder, mystery, and high intrigue all get in the way of a guy who just wants one more shot to get the girl.
The follow-up to the hilarious Off to Be the Wizard, Scott Meyer’s Spell or High Water proves that no matter what powers you have over time and space, you can’t control rotten luck.

It was a fun start, but I found myself mentally tuning out in the middle when the discussion of time travel delves DEEPLY into various possible paradoxes and explanations of the current scenario. Once that passed, and the characters continued their jolly adventure, it became fun again.
Time travel is hard to explain in books. Especially fiction which doesn't benefit from illustrations. But I intend to take up the third book despite my misgivings in the middle of this one.
Another great installment. Very enjoyable and exciting. Love me some more tales of Phillip and Martin
Good follow up to book 1 in the series, [b:Off to Be the Wizard 18616975 Off to Be the Wizard (Magic 2.0, #1) Scott Meyer https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1390179189s/18616975.jpg 24775619].
Martin and Philip are at it again. This time they travel to Atlantis for the Inaugural Wizards, Gypsy, and Time Traveller Symposium. As the conference begins someone attempts to assassinate one of the delegates. Martin and Philip must work together to decide if the program really gives free will, or if it is all an illusion. A good follow up to Book 1, but leaves questions that sets up for book 3. You have been warned.
