The two go in search of Crawford and are almost killed in an ambush but for the help of the winged Kyrn!
Thr trio proceed to a nearby war-ravaged city where survivors identify a photo of Dan as the "troublemaker" who caused the devastation...
To quote a certain Corellian smuggler and rogue:
"I have a bad feeling about this..."

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HARSH REALM "Hazards" Part 1

...now that was exactly what we needed after a several-month break due to CoronaVirus!
From here on, it's nonstop Harsh Realm RPG action to the end of the series...
Is he an obvious ally...or secret enemy?
Be Here Next Wednesday!
Please note: Harris' Harsh Realm #3 (1994) was published over 25 years ago, when online gaming, virtual reality, and many technical aspects of the story were vastly-different than they are today.
Younger readers, in particular, might find things a little...weird, but at the time, they were considered visionary!
The legendary Jack Kirby did a combination superhero amusement park/virtual reality plotline even earlier in Marvel's 2001: a Space Odyssey #5 (1977)!
Like Harsh Realm's creators, he got some elements amazingly-correct...and some parts startlingly-wrong!
But give him credit, it was far more correct than incorrect!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HARSH REALM "City" Conclusion

Private detective Dexter Gordon's consciousness enters the virtual-reality world of Harsh Realm, looking for his clients' son Dan Crawford!
(One important factor to remember...if you die in Harsh Realm, your body in the real world also dies!)
He meets Moira, whom he initially believes to be merely a character in the fictional world, but who turns out to be both a real human given form (like him) and a friend of Dan!
After a night of virtual-world passion...
So this won't be a one-night stand?
What other perils must Dex overcome?
Can two humans produce a virtual-reality child?
Will Dex find Dan?
For the Answers to These and Other Questions...
