    About this ebook

    "What’s worse than sitting next to a mean drunk in a bar? Sitting next to a mean drunk who also happens to be a god. Not just any god, either—the God of Frickin’ Thunder: Thor."

    When your morning starts with being kidnapped by the Norse gods, you know you're in for a l-o-ong day. For warrior woman Crimson, though, it's just another day at the "office." Our time-displaced heroine has been swept up in theological disputes before -- in fact, that's how she came to occupy her unique position as multiverse avenger.

    At the moment, she's caught in a dispute between a very drunk Thor and All-Seeing Odin -- who insists that Crimson help out. Which leaves our heroine between the proverbial hammer and the godly anvil. It will take all of Crimson's legendary strength and wits to get out of this one!

    Combining comical adventure, Norse mythology, kick-ass entertainment, and man-eating goats, "Thor Loser" has something for nearly everyone. This story not only adds another rollicking saga to Crimson's history, but also gives new insight into our heroine's mysterious past. With a special Valkyrie-like alternate cover included, what more could lovers of action ask?

      THOR LOSER

      ~ A Crimson Story ~

      What’s worse than sitting next to a mean drunk in a bar?

      Sitting next to a mean drunk who also happens to be a god.

      Not just any god, either—the God of Frickin’ Thunder:

      Thor.

      He was sitting on a worn wooden bench in the deserted tavern—a Norse drinking hall, actually—leaning against the building’s main support post. Every time he muttered something, the whole place shook. The room was filled with broken crockery and staved-in casks—remnants of Thor’s ongoing binge, I assumed. It was uncomfortably warm in here due to the roaring fire in the stone hearth that took up most of the north wall. The stink added to the oppressive atmosphere. The smells of
