Queen of Nowhere

The stars are hers to claim! Pip just had her brain pulled out of frozen storage and uploaded to the most advanced game of the year 2040. There's a virtual realm of starships and planets to explore, in a future that's completely new to her. She needs to build a place for herself in the new cross-world society of Talespace. Time to upgrade her skills and gear, fly between planets, mine amid monsters, and fend off the occasional AI rebellion. And maybe look deeper into what's really going on in this supposed virtual paradise... In the near future, the latest technology has made it possible to live in a virtual world. "Uploaded" humans now work and play alongside AIs and ordinary people who see their home as a video game. For those who explore, there's always more to do - including ways to help people in the real and digital realms alike. Queen of Nowhere is a novel in the LitRPG or GameLit genre, about a future frontier: exploration in a starry high-tech game world that's reaching into the real one. It's part of the Thousand Tales story setting, an upbeat world of people trying to grow, build, and be free; but no knowledge of it is needed. Dive in here!
