This short story is a quick paced action book based around the Hartman siblings, who's company run the online game Dragonfire. This is a game where you transpose your human self inside the game, but while there are safety measures in place to protect you, things can go wrong.
It is an intriguing read as the author meshes in the idea of the game, the differing characters of the "real" world with the computer world and in my opinion, would work well if he ever decided to turn it into a full length ...more

This is a clever short story with a beauty of a twist. At just shy of 3000 words, David Rose has managed to pack in a lot of material. A good read, especially if you're a gamer. Actually it's still a good read even if you aren't.

Now this was an unexpected wallop of fun packed into a short space. An excellent short story in which David Rose manages to throw several surprises at the reader in rapid succession. The characterization is also spot-on. An enjoyable take on the world of online/massively multiplayer gaming and a wicked twist right near the end. Enjoy!

This is one mean little short story. It is set in contemporary USA and is a mixed genre work: speculative SF thriller spiced with a little fantasy. There are some seriously kinky ideas in the virtual reality tale, and I think that Dragonfire bites. Read it and see for yourself!
