Rood Der: 06: Barbarians and Bumblebees. Joss Chen notices something insane in the sky while an oddly tattooed barbarian battles his lust in a gentle society of bumblebees and Wee Folk, and a distant threat endangers the life of a Sky Valley Group member as confusion clashes. Life is beautiful through the Red Door, but it is possibly more dangerous than in any other world. How deep are we, immersed in this world we call reality? How many turtles down do we go, in this discombobulated, mixed-metaphor, rabbit-hole world? Their world might be based on Ayn Rand, her writings, philosophies, and her U.S. Presidency, but how dense are their numbers compressed, and for how long will their simulation even run? This little group has been provided an exit, but would anyone be rude enough to dare and leave their very own reality? Take the Rude Dare, and Cross over, where data is data, through the Red Door. From the author of Vestigial Surreality comes the new serial novel, Rood Der.
