Tom Larcombe Books in Order

Merlin awakens in German occupied France during the Second World War and is forced to teach young wizards at an occult research facility. Discovering a malevolent artifact, he must protect his students and prevent a devastating weapon’s use.

After years of punishment for exposing magic, Michael Hart faces a national catastrophe that destroys familiar infrastructure. His former lover arrives with wizard students seeking refuge, drawing him back into conflict with the council that condemned him.

Kept away from combat to protect Allied morale, Merlin is confined to research and teaching. A magical attack on Nimue and their unborn child forces him into enemy territory, where saving his family may mean defying orders.

Fighting for the Allies, Merlin seeks help against German air power from dragons held beyond a guarded portal. Reaching their prison in Germany is only part of the challenge: he must also secure their cooperation.

Amber’s childhood has lasted decades because of magic she never understood. As she discovers her abilities and learns from a wizard mentor, disappearances among older wizards raise disturbing questions about her parents and her own safety.

Michael Hart struggles to feed his students and protect their town after society’s collapse. As raiders threaten and the wizard council covets his mine, a hidden cache may provide resources essential to keeping their community alive.

After failed assassination attempts, the wizard council sends an army against Michael Hart’s mine. Discovering that its soldiers are being controlled, he seeks a way to free them while defending his family, students, and home.

Desperate for work, Eddie Hunter accepts a job farming inside a virtual world. The assignment proves more literal than expected, while suspicious employers and the game’s watchful artificial intelligence complicate his efforts to earn a living.

Eddie’s life increasingly revolves around the virtual world where he works, builds an inn, and forms relationships. A growing goblin threat and a newly discovered dungeon force him to balance business responsibilities with dangerous adventures.

Eddie’s expanding settlement needs stronger defences when an angry artificial intelligence turns its attention toward him. With friends helping to withstand attacks, he works to build a castle and protect the community they have created.

Eddie’s growing settlement attracts new quests and increasingly complicated responsibilities. As his work inside Light Online generates unexpected game content, he must balance building a community with adventures and the interventions of the world’s artificial intelligence.

With a castle built and business thriving, Eddie pursues a quest that could transform his settlement into a kingdom. New communities, forest elves, and treachery among the game’s inhabitants make leadership more complicated than construction.

Airships, firearms, and railways expand the possibilities for Marc’s growing settlement. Quests take his group farther afield, where surviving the changed world requires adapting new technology while navigating the System’s awkward rules and unexpected dangers.

Michael Hart accepts a mission against a traitorous council member connected to his persecution. An invasion by the forces behind his country’s collapse turns a personal reckoning into a broader struggle to defend the surviving population.

Home from college, Marc receives a warning that Earth’s natural laws are about to change. He and his friends prepare a safe zone, then race to rescue neighbours as magic appears and monsters spread through their town.

Marc’s safe zone has survived its first dangers, leaving room to gather supplies and rescue more people. Trade with other settlements and contact with an elven community reveal that the System’s new world has increasingly complicated relationships.

With Earth’s acclimation year running out, Marc pushes to gain levels and improve Any Port. Offworld allies and technological upgrades offer new possibilities, but preparing the settlement for a wider universe brings increasingly demanding quests.

Marc’s group expands its trading network with a zeppelin while helping defend settlements from new threats. Communities transformed into dungeons, unfamiliar peoples, and a recovered satellite offer both opportunities and fresh complications for their growing safe zone.

Earth’s acclimation year is almost over, and Marc must prepare his growing kingdom for what follows. Training, dungeon expeditions, and another divine quest compete for attention as the threat of intervention from space draws closer.

Marc tackles a labyrinth and other mythological dangers as he works toward Zeus’s promised reward. Meanwhile, Any Port’s network continues expanding, and the approaching end of Earth’s acclimation period raises questions about threats beyond the planet.

A quest involving a mysterious sarcophagus brings Marc into contact with divine powers and unexpected obligations. As Any Port prepares celebrations, an assignment from Zeus sends his group against creatures drawn from Greek myth.

A research accident releases strange energy through a wormhole, transforming wildlife and killing laboratory workers. Maintenance worker Max escapes with a friend, only to discover that an artificial intelligence is spreading the changes beyond the facility.

Max expands a protected settlement as mana spreads across Earth and mutated creatures multiply. While newcomers breach the quarantine, Prometheus forces the wormhole wider, making scavenging expeditions increasingly dangerous as human survivors become another threat.

Mike’s trained group returns to an Earth transformed by the System and begins rescuing local survivors. His druid abilities offer food and protection, but clearing routes and sharing knowledge brings conflict with monsters and hostile trainers.

As mana envelops Earth, Max trains others to repair technology and considers exploring the dungeon beneath the ruined research labs. A stabilized wormhole opens contact with another world, where peaceful inhabitants and aggressive forces present very different possibilities.

Warned that a System will transform Earth, Mike and his grandfather seek training on another world. Escaping an abusive trainer into a dangerous forest, they build skills and alliances before returning to help people survive the coming upheaval.

Mike and his companions grow stronger while investigating offworld trainers who exploit Earth’s survivors. Dangerous foothills, new druid allies, and Alyx’s surveillance work draw the group toward a confrontation with those profiting from the transformed world.
