This was part of a series of books, the Worlds of Power series, based on some of the top-selling Nintendo games at the time (this was back in the days of the original NES). Under the name F.X. Nine, Seth Godin translates the story of Wizards & Warriors into a story for children. Unfortunately, this is one of those completely safe "nobody will ever be in any actual danger" books that some people think necessary when it comes to writing for children,
Kuros, the hero of the Wizards & Warriors story, is joined in his quest by a young man from the real world, fully intended to be an in for children reading this (because apparently it's impossible for them to imagine themselves as characters from the game world). This young man is a bit of a Marty Stu, just there to be a representative of the audience. It's established at the start of the book that he has no imagination, failing to write anything for his creative writing class, which makes him a very bland character (maybe it was books like this that gave Stephanie Meyer the idea for bland-beyond-belief Bella). He isn't even noticed by the creatures constantly attacking Kuros, that's how little he's actually a part of this world (until the end when they face the evil wizard, because I guess Godin thought it would be more exciting by that point).
This is not the first Worlds of Power story I've read in which a kid from the real world gets swept into the fantasy realm of a video game, but that one was even worse.
A very quick read. Only took me about two hours to get through it. ( )
