  All in Charisma

  Justin Talemaker is a college dropout with zero prospects and even less social grace, especially after getting kicked out of his online gaming guild for being "that guy." Then a freak Oklahoma tornado flings him into Eyrth, a world governed by actual LitRPG mechanics. 
  Any sensible protagonist would roll a warrior or a mage. But Justin, still reeling from his latest flameout, makes a different bet: the obscure Socialite class. He’s all in on Charisma, hoping to master the skills that have always let him down. 
  The catch? His new abilities, like Dandy's Swagger, might turn heads at a dinner party, but they’re useless against a charging centaur. And with every other stat dumped, even basic survival becomes a high-stakes hustle, unless he can bluff, charm, or, in a pinch, smack his way through trouble with a surprisingly effective gentleman’s cane. 
  It doesn’t take long for Justin to realize he’s outmatched, outclassed, and possibly doomed. But if he can talk his way through dungeons, navigate nobles with a vendetta, and find allies who actually stick around, he might just pull off the impossible. 
  Because in a world ruled by numbers, the hardest thing to level up might just be yourself.

  The Death Ship tells the story of an American sailor, stateless and penniless because he has lost his passport, who is harassed by police and hounded across Europe until he finds an 'illegal' job shoveling coal in the hold of a steamer bound for destruction. The Death Ship is the first of B. Traven's politically charged novels about life among the downtrodden, which have sold more than thirty million copies in thirty-six languages. 
  Praise for The Death Ship:  
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A damn good high seas adventure novel with all the trimmings. This one lived up to expectations. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a funny first-person yarn by a happy-go-unlucky societal misfit that's reminiscent of Mark Twain. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of these books you read once and never forget. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When you see B. Traven on the spine of a book, just pick it up... hurry home with it.
