Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - To terraform his future world, Gabe wrings iron from stone - a thousand years before he was born. Aboard the colony ship, school runs inside the Dream - lived history, ruled by an AI. Gabe chooses to study charcoal kilns in rain-soaked ancient Britain, ore hammered into iron. Someday, a colony's steel depends on colonists like him. In the Dream's magic system, history's beliefs are true, and they bite. But this year's Maya campaign amounts to gringo-grade tourism: it skips Mexico's most dangerous belief, the were-jaguar. So Gabe and friends rewrite the curriculum. Gabriel is mama's youngest archangel, the steady one. But shapeshifter magic feeds on the shaman's own darkness - and the Dream has broken older minds than his. Can Gabe warp his mind into the arcane Maya worldview, plumb his darkest depths, and master the jaguar.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Six months into his virtual life, traveling to colonize distant planet Rayas, Gabe Oliveri devises shapeshifter magic for a campaign in the Classic Maya world. In the video-game time travel that is history class, beliefs are real, and fuel Gabe's magical powers. But the AI's Maya campaign amounts to gringo-grade tourism, because it skips Mexico's most challenging belief - shapeshifting shamans. Specifically, were-jaguars. In the lush rainforests of Mexico and Guatemala, the Stone Age flourished into one of Earth's great civilizations. The Maya mastered mathematics and astronomy. They bequeathed corn and ball sports to the world. They built pyramids and beguiling art, all without horsepower. Instead they relied on blood sacrifice. Maya religion is mystifying. To gain a shapeshifter's power, Gabe must embrace his unknown dark side, including his fears on the cusp of manhood. The Rayas expedition ruled out older students, because the virtual life broke their mental health. He fears the same fate. Can Gabe warp his mind into the arcane Maya worldview, plumb his darkest depths, and master the jaguar? Rayas Colony is a time travel LitRPG adventure with gritty bootstrapped space colony and overpowered artificial intelligence. In book 2, mage Gabe relives history in early Britain and Classic Maya scenarios, while competing to lead a viable space colony. This item is printed on demand.
