Team Fortress 2 voice actor writes sci-fi book; In-game characters' Amazon reviews

[Poly]

I got a kick out of this. John Patrick Lowrie, the voice actor who plays the Sniper in Team Fortress 2, wrote a sci-fi novel called Dancing with Eternity (which Goodreads hasn't somehow added yet). Fans of the game wrote reviews as some of the other avatars of the game in character. Better yet, John Patrick Lowrie commented on the reviews also in character. Here's one of them:

The Heavy: "Even if cannot read, you will like. Book is heavy so I throw at spy. He will never ever walk again."

Lowrie's response: "You're a mate, mate! I'll never forget our long conversations behind that empty warehouse about who was more influential on modern angst, Schopenhauer or Heidegger. When you reminded me that Heidegger had said, "As the ego cogito, subjectivity is the consciousness that represents something, relates this representation back to itself, and so gathers with itself" I just about bust a gut! You are one hilarious wanker, wanker. And you have a nice big head.

all the best!

your pal,
The Sniper"

edit: I just bought the book because, hey why not? The summary on Amazon is thus: "What would happen if Odysseus met Captain Ahab in the Fortieth Century? Only Captain Ahab is a beautiful woman named Steel who owns her own starship and Odysseus is an unemployed actor named Mohandas who’s stuck on the backside of a backwater moon because he won't pay his taxes. Oh, and everybody—well, almost everybody—lives forever, did I mention that? And there’s a telepathic Internet that allows the entire population of the galaxy to communicate at will and even experience the world from another person's perspective. Dancing with Eternity is a sprawling galactic odyssey that takes Steel, Mo and the crew of the starship Lightdancer on an incredible voyage of adventure, self-discovery, and revelation. … And they get to go to a lot of really cool planets, too."

That does sound fab
