McBride's Magical Munchies: Episode 1

by David Bushman

Conner McBride was still finding his way in the world when it all changed. Traveling home late after a long day of slinging tacos, the very used food truck that he'd spent the last of his savings on broke down. Tired and desperate, it was only then that the multiversal entity known as the Framework made itself known. For better or worse, Conner's entire world changed in that moment. Owning a food truck went from being his start at a fledgling career to a necessity just to survive the wild world evolving around him. Armed with only his food truck and his culinary prowess, Conner must fend off monsters and grow stronger if he wants to thrive amid his fantastic new reality.

Conner McBride wasn't thinking too far ahead when he bought a ramshackle food truck, but when the strange entity known as Framework changed the world, he was stuck with that truck and having a culinary class. Conner must figure out how to survive in a world where his food can heal folks and monsters want to kill them.

This is a fantastic start to this action and adventure LitRPG series. Conner is a regular everyday guy and easy to relate to. Everyone loves a guy who can cook. He's thrust suddenly into a video game-like world when Framework forcibly "evolves" Earth. I love Conner's unique class and how that helps people. The rest of the cast is just as entertaining, and the monsters are hilarious. I can't wait for more in this series. Highly recommended for LitRPG readers.

This book was so much fun!

LitRPG, but in a different style to the author's other work - it's post-apocalyptic/dystopian yet light-hearted.
This book takes us through the first couple of days after 'everything changes' and we get to know Connor and his random crew.

I can't wait for book 2, which given I placed a preorder, will be hitting my kindle very shortly!
