"Raj Sidhu has crafted a thrilling adventure that empowers its audience. A reminder that those kids in the basement may just be preparing to save the world." –Justin McElroy, co-creator of The Adventure Zone
In this hilarious fantasy adventure, when Riley Singh unwittingly offends a multiversal sorcerer, he and his friends are whisked into a freaky new reality—perfect for fans of Dungeoneer Adventures and Once Upon a Tim.
Seventh grader Riley Singh is a smart kid. Smart enough to know that he could be an exceptional student in school if he wasn’t always playing Dungeon Brawl: a role-playing game where he and his friends embark on radical quests to slay demon lords and rescue the occasional village.
The only problem is that Doomface, the villain of their newest adventure, is listening in on their game and may just be maniacal enough to pull four middle schoolers through the folds of reality to satisfy his ego.
Stranded in a strange world with magical powers as their characters, Riley and his friends will have to find a way to defeat Doomface and return to Earth. And Riley will do whatever it takes to get home before his parents realize he's missing—even if that means dooming his friends along the way.
Thrash Force is a fun and fast-paced adventure that blends middle school life with high-stakes fantasy. Raj Sidhu delivers a clever story about Riley Singh, a smart seventh grader whose love for a role-playing game takes an unexpected turn when he and his friends are pulled into the game’s world for real.
With sharp dialogue, relatable characters, and just the right amount of chaos, this story captures the spirit of friendship, imagination, and the pressure of trying to survive a magical world and middle school expectations. It’s a wild ride with heart, perfect for fans of gaming, fantasy, and unexpected heroism.
