It has been said, never bring a knife to a gunfight, but what happens when you bring a gun to a sword fight? Ozzy Irman had always considered himself something of an explorer. Never in all of his wildest dreams however did he think he’d end up in another world. Hell, he still hadn’t made it to Yellowstone. But when the unthinkable happens, and he finds himself face down cheeks up in a swamp full of monsters he knows something has gone terribly wrong with life. Armed with nothing save his rapidly fraying wits and *cough* an arsenal of magical firearms *cough* he must eke out a place for himself in a world full of magic, corruption, and Gods. Great for readers who enjoyed He Who fights With monsters, Vigil’s Wrath, The Ten Realms Series, and other isekai/flintlock fantasy stories.
