Publisher's Summary

To Angus, things couldn't be more perfect. Sure, he still has to deal with an aging body in the outside world that won't allow him to do much.... But he's found solace in Alterwelt, a virtual world where he can craft to his heart's content and indulge in his life's true passion. Spending his time between fulfilling orders and expanding his ever-growing smithing guild, Hephaestus is living the dream, so to speak.

But maybe, just maybe, things were a little too perfect.

As he'll quickly learn, there's a growing movement gaining traction in the real world; Moralizers who denounce all the violence and depravity that pervade virtual worlds. Their demands are simple: They want the "games" neutered; they want Alterwelt and other Imperium spaces strictly regulated, which could threaten the world Angus has come to call his home.

Behind the movement stands one familiar foe: Lord Liberath, the same individual Hephaestus had managed to oust when the blacksmith had been accused of item hacking.

Great story needs a better performance

The story and the detail of the forging process is great with the story a bit rushed outside of the blacksmiths workshop.
I had to listen to this in 1.2x speed as the narrators voice was bland. Also there was no difference between a 40yr old and a 90yr old with strained vocal cords.

The authors understanding of the law was lacking

Angus/Hephaestus constantly breaks character. For someone constantly described as stubborn he is often ready to give up over the smallest inconvenience. The author pushes the relationship between Hephaestus and Altera to push him forward when he shouldn't need anymore motivation. Would have given up half way through if I had anything else I currently wanted to listen to.
