The Varayan Memoir #2
The Hero of Varay
Gil was just another college student when his father died and left him an incredible inheritance. Destined to be both the hero of Varay and the heir to its crown, Gil stepped through the magical doorway where he received a cram course in the hazards of the Varayan buffer zone. But now he would need all his skill, luck and wizard and warrior allies to face a new menace.

Begins 3 years after the conclusion of #1. Gil is now settled into his position of Hero of Varay, and has used his influence to create a good life for himself in both the fantasy world of Varay and our modern world. He's also met a girlfriend, the attractive-but-seemingly-lacking-any-sort-of-personality Joy.
When terrorists blow up a cruise ship with a nuclear bomb, our world is full of fear and political unrest, and weird things also start happening in Varay. Dragons are seen in the skies of Earth, and nuclear subs start appearing in the oceans of Varay.
Gil must get his girlfriend to safety in Varay (he hasn't told he about his double life), and try to figure out what's happening.
In order to do this, it's somehow decided that he must go on a quest to find the Balls of the Great Earth Mother. 'Cause what does a hero need? More balls, of course.
With the reluctant help of a decapitated elf, the quest begins.
This is really a Very Bad Book. It is stupid, sexist, and crude, all with no sense of humor or irony. It's written as if for young (male) teens, but has fairly explicit sex, so I guess it's sort of meant for adults with low literary standards."
