Hello readers,
BATTLE Colosseum, the latest chapter in the "FLUKE!" series, has been released as a paperback novella! Get your copy through the below links:
Paperback https://www.amazon.ca/BATTLE-Colosseum-Allen-W-McLean/dp/B0C6BSSC1L
Kindle Unlimited https://a.co/d/fq4b479

Our protagonist controls Nina, a playable character in this fictional augmented virtual reality video game. While playing BATT-LE Colosseum, Nina prefers to operate solo--because she was using a modified game client to play outside of the MEGA Corporation's GamePlex--and she struggles with being reliant on other players, like Ian the Turtle.
This metaphysical science fiction story took inspiration from a wide variety of pop culture, from video games (like Smash Bros, Halo, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon) to books (including stories by Philip K. Dick and Douglas Adams) and back to anime (such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann). I even took the names of the characters from the pets in our family, and I stuck in some references to Electric Armchair’s music.
BATTLE Colosseum resonates with those who struggle with relying on others, as Nina grapples with the choice of reducing what she is reliant on versus being comfortable in any situation, including being dependent on her teammate. During BATTLE Colosseum, Nina realizes that replanning was where the fun was found and, because she has faith in her abilities, that she could have faith in her team, too.

Our protagonist controls Nina, a playable character in this fictional augmented virtual reality video game. While playing BATT-LE Colosseum, Nina prefers to operate solo--because she was using a modified game client to play outside of the MEGA Corporation's GamePlex--and she struggles with grouping together with other players, like Ian the Turtle. This metaphysical science fiction story took inspiration from a wide variety of pop culture, from video games (like Smash Bros, Halo, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon) to books (including stories by Philip K. Dick and Douglas Adams) and back to anime (such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann). I even took the names of the characters from the pets in our family, and I stuck in some references to Electric Armchair’s music.
