The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

Laid-off teacher Olivia Crawford feels lost without the everyday, personal interactions with her students. Attracted by the salary and the potential for a career change, she considers an offer to become a beta player for a new Jane Austen virtual world within the VR universe of Allworld Online. Swallowing her fear, she accepts the position…and the invasive neural implant that will give her access to the virtual realm.

When Olivia wakes from the procedure already inside the literary-based universe, she enjoys reliving iconic scenes as Elizabeth Bennet…until a glitch causes a fellow gamer to suddenly vanish. As more players disappear and Olivia finds herself unable to detach from her avatar, she fears a forced shutdown might result in her being permanently deleted.

Can Olivia figure out who’s holding her prisoner in cyber-Hertfordshire before it’s too late?

Allworld Online: Pride & Prejudice is the first book in the suspenseful Allworld Online LitRPG series. If you like wondrous virtual worlds, escalating tension, and unusual spins on familiar stories, then you’ll love this Science Fiction Adventure.
