But he's up against tough odds: angry mobs of adventurers, a body falling apart at the seams — and a team of programmers racing a deadline to hammer out the last few bugs in their AI.*Mogworld is the debut novel from video-game icon Yahtzee Croshaw (Zero Punctuation)!With an exclusive one-chapter preview of Yahtzee Croshaw's next novel, Jam—coming to bookstores in October 2012!*Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's video review site, Zero Punctuation, receives over 2,500,000 unique hits a month, and has been licensed by G4 Television.*Yahtzee's blog receives about 150,000 hits per day."The first legitimate breakout hit from the gaming community in recent memory."-Boing Boing
