Into the Real
by Lydia Sherrer
2022

Series background & context
Lydia Sherrer (John Ringo) highlights the work they do together, most notably in the TransDimensional Hunter novels and the Black Tide Rising anthology United We Stand. These books combine Ringo’s comfort with large-scale crises and Sherrer’s focus on character growth.
In TransDimensional Hunter, they follow Lynn Raven, a socially anxious but brilliant gamer pulled into beta-testing an augmented reality title that is much more than it seems. As she levels up in-game, she also has to navigate high school, media attention, and hints that the “monsters” might reflect a real, incoming threat.
In United We Stand and related short fiction, Sherrer brings her voice to Ringo’s zombie-plague universe, contributing stories that look at how ordinary people, often with complicated inner lives, find ways to push back the darkness.
