Stories in Lazlo Zalezac’s “Damsels in Distress” universe

ON THE PLANET CROSSROADS there are portals connecting various worlds. On Earth, men go to Crossroads to participate in adventures on the planet Chaos as heroes. On Cassandra, women go to Crossroads to participate in adventures on the planet Chaos as Damsels in Distress.

Of course, there are rules regarding participation and only real heroes receive a special sapphire ring and a portal that gives them access to Crossroads. Chaos is poor in minerals and a hero may not take anything metal with him other than the ring. Chaos is a medieval world governed by violence and power. And Damsels, once they accept the opportunity to go to Chaos, are truly distressed as they are kidnapped, raped, murdered, or imprisoned. They are willing to give their hero anything to free them-including bearing his child. In fact, that seems to be the only way a damsel from Cassandra can get pregnant, which is what drives the women to take their chances on Chaos.

Entire trilogy in one paperback!

“I am pretty sure that I will only get tired of writing glowing reviews for aroslav when he gets tired of writing stories I enjoy.”

Sleight of Hand

Cover for Sleight of Hand

Hero Lincoln Book 1

Crippled while saving his niece and sister-in-law from a drunk driver, Lincoln has struggled five years to 'never give up' at their encouragement. When his friend and magic tutor Seth is suddenly killed on Chaos, though, Lincoln is forced to consider that the stories his friend told him were more than a LARP. But what kind of hero could a guy in a wheelchair become? (Just 7 chapters.)

“Sleight of Hand is a wonderful example of how to retain the feel and essence of the original work while building upon it and creating something new. The author clung to the fundamentals of what a Hero of Earth should be while showing us that not all heroes are alike. The author also showed us that love is more than just lust and that a hero knows the difference.”

Hero Lincoln Book 2

Hero Lincoln escapes to Crossroads with his Caretaker Lisa when violence erupts in his home on earth. But his companion, Cadence is left behind. He must get back to her and protect her from her lunatic father, but first, he and Lisa must take their adventure on Chaos performing magic and illusions as they join a traveling circus. This story has eight chapters.

“Superb story, interesting universe, characters, lots of surprises… did I mention that I also hate surprises? This is part 2 of a trilogy, and after reading pretty much everything I could by Devon Layne, I am thinking this will be like a Douglas Adams Trilogy, five books.”

Hero Lincoln Book 3

Hero Lincoln is trapped on Earth with no portal and a hysterical fiancée. Lisa is trapped on Chaos. Wilson is trying to kill Cadence. And there is a crazy lady next door with a gun and a Corvair. In this exciting conclusion to the Hero Lincoln Trilogy, Lincoln and Cadence face a 41-story leap of faith, mythical creatures, twins, and stranded companions. Everything is up in the air until it hits the ground.

“This third and, I very much hope not last, installment of Devon Layne's in the Damsels in Distress Universe was a fun read.”
