Okay, the only chaos is me running around my kitchen giggling with glee that Nether Nightmare is now available online!

Judging from the early reviews coming in, I’m not the only one who is happy to dive into the second book in the Battle of the Blocks series.

The ebook version launched this week at these fine stores:

Amazon US | Amazon CA | Amazon UK | iTunes | Kobo | Google Play | Barnes & Noble

The paperback edition is on its way, too.

Nether Nightmare picks up right after the events in Descent into Overworld. Here’s the blurb to whet your appetite:

An ancient evil wakes. Friend becomes foe. Herobrine’s invasion draws near.

Twelve year-old Hamid thought he could handle any Minecraft challenge. But when a diseased magma cube infects his best friend and his school principal teams up with ultimate force of darkness, Hamid is ready to say Game Over.

But the nightmare has just begun.

Trapped in Minecraft and running out of time, Hamid, Jaina and their video game allies must race across the Nether to cure Ant, catch Principal Whiner and defeat Herobrine before his army of monsters invades the real world.

Grab your pickaxe, the Battle of the Blocks continues . . .

If that doesn’t make you want to dive into a world of fire and chase monsters, then maybe the amazing new cover will:

Yeah! Thanks to the fantastic ScribbleLiz for the amazing artwork.

Liz is the very talented artist behind the illustration on re-issue of Descent into Overworld:

Sweet!

With the second book in the series released into the world, I’m really excited to see where these books go in the coming months.

And don’t worry, I’m hard at work on Battle of the Blocks 3: Escape from the End, coming soon. (Honest!)

In the meantime, grab a copy of these books for your favourite Minecrafter!
