The bad guys wear black, operate out of a blasted wasteland and enjoy torture, rape and massacre. The good guys live in bucolic kingdoms with knights in shining armour, a council of wizards, and We learn next to nothing about any specifics of their politics, ecology, geography, society, etc.
This severely dampens the drama of the villains stomping all over them with their Earth weaponry. I think that the author over-estimates the effectiveness of a few hundred guys with Kalashnikovs against a much larger medieval army, or at least portrays how such battles would go inaccurately, makes the good guys far too slow to adapt, and underestimates how fast the bad guys would go through their ammunition given their tactics.
I don't want to get into a nerd-off with angry gun enthusiasts, though, so I'll say no more. I did feel the book picked up a bit towards the end when things got more urgent, dark and dramatic - the fantasy side of things got fleshed out a bit, the twerpy protagonist got out of denial, and the main Earth female character got something to do besides shimmy around in miniskirts and boots being angry and getting ogled.
Overall, a flawed but moderately enjoyable ride with some fun juxtaposition of the fantastic and mundane I liked the detail of Coke cans and Burger King wrappers left lying around the interdimensional labyrinth. I just about enjoyed it enough to consider reading the sequel or some of the author's other work, which puts it head and shoulders above most e-books of this sort.

This one has an interesting concept and characters, and kept me interested though a couple times the general plot arc seemed to lose momentum. I was a bit annoyed with the abrupt ending, however, but at least it explains why one character dropped out of sight in the middle view spoiler [ He's a main character in the next book hide spoiler ].

Also, the romance was a bit hard to believe, but it was nice to see Simon's transition from know-it-all recluse to someone more confident and mature. Still, I want to know why the knights of this other world are too stupid to use archers or proper tactics. I'm not sure hand grenades and Kalashnikovs would make such short work of proper castles.

The Tower of Endless Worlds – Jonathan Moeller, Pulp Writer
Somewhere on Earth, he knows, the last Wizard of the White Council is waiting. She wishes to forget her fast. But her past has not forgotten her, and the darkness yearns to devour her. The United States, and the world itself, is his for the taking. But her power has drawn notice, and dark creatures desire to claim her for their own. And it will take everything he has to defend her - his strength, his heart, and even his life itself may be the price.
Now, at last, he possesses what he has long sought, and his true work can begin. Except another thief has an eye on Lord Castomyr's treasures, a thief with magical abilities I don't understand.
