What makes it funny?

Dave's qualifications make an odd application for saving Earth: plumbing, a Nintendo championship, and an Olympic silver medal in boxing. His wrench keeps the cosmic assignment attached to his day job.

Try this if…

Dave can save his progress and return to an earlier point after a deadly mistake, but each retry costs a magical talisman. Those limited second chances accompany the loot and improving stats of a game adventure.

Good to know

Last Save Dave is the first novel in its series.
