Quote from Dalewj:

“Howdy everyone.  I decided to try and write a series of books about being in an actual game and Afterworld was this game.  The game was ripe for writing about since it recently turned to survival and gave me the opportunity to join it as a newcomer.  I hope you like the story, it has something I hope will make everyone happy.  Lots of pickaxes, some guns, some love, some death, and even a hate of pupkin.  It might be hard to read for some, I understand that.  The idea of the book is for me Dalewj to be Russian with a good lack of English skills.  Those skills get better during the book and will get much better in books to come (Yes there is more to come).

So I emailed the devs one day with a rough draft of the book in hopes that they would like it.  They loved it.  I then abused them a little to make sure the story line I was creating match their story line.  After a few conversations we got it all worked out.  In the future I hope to work further in my books to help build a history line of what happened in 2036 and beyond that combines the already written history with a little more detail.

But for now, we both agreed to offer you the first book free in 2 formats.  Epub and pdf.   The books is also out in paper form and kindle (iBookstore takes a month or two), but alas those will cost you some $ to get.  I hope you can all still use these two free formats to read the book.

The book has a website – http://www.jconsult.com/afterworld - if you’re interested in taking a look.  I have written other books (some sci-fi and technical manuals) that are linked there if you’re interested.

Finally I would like to thank my fellow players who accepted to be part of the first book and those who I bothered to help me while I was running around the world building story line and taking pictures.

I hope you enjoy the effort.  A conversation about the book will follow in this thread.

The epub and pdf versions of the book is attached to this message (available only for registered users of the AfterWorld).

coool thanks for this!!!

Got it!
Thank you for sharing!!
Many more to come!

P.S.: Thats one great advertising for this game, lets hope you'll be assaulted by gazillions of fans here in game!

TY  for this wonderful offer

As you read through the book you will hear about the deaths of two characters.   Well no death in the afterworld is ignored by the Afterworld State Security folks.  Two grave sites are there for you to see ingame.  You might want to see if you can find both of them yourself

Excellent read Dale.     Can't wait for the further adventures.  Great back-story devs.  Thanks for helping Dale with the details of AW. 

Dale thanks for sharing your talents with us.  I am going to read this today as I just got back to AW from being very busy.
Thanks again.

I have heard this many times recently so I should ask.

Asked - "I would love to read this book in Russian because English is bad."   
Answered - "Well my russian is worse then your english"

So if there is anyone out there with a few dozen free hours on hand that can translate the book to any language I would be very interested in talking to them.  Imagine how the game could advertise a book in multiple languages!
