About this listen
Be careful what games you play. Some of them play with you.
Marcus is running out of money, and his streaming career is going nowhere. The chance to win a million dollars by competing in a mysterious, online battle royale first-person shooter seems like the perfect lifeline. Besides, he’s got nothing to lose. Right?
When players dying in the game begin to disappear in real life, Marcus realizes he’s caught in the most dangerous rabbit hole, conceived by the wickedest of minds.
Stuck in this gruesome online deathmatch, Marcus must play at the top of his game, conquering virtual and real-life dangers, while unraveling the jaw-dropping truth behind it all.
A grittier Ready Player One, mixed with Hunger Games for the online generation. If you enjoy being at the edge of your seat and having your ears glued to a book that won’t let you stop listening, this fast-paced, heart-pumping suspense thriller will suck you right in. Buckle up. Make it tight.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

My name is Bird Howsley, and I'm a beautiful disaster. Okay, "beautiful" is probably being generous. But the "disaster" part is right. In a brutal dystopian waterworld, where survival depends on skill and smarts, I'm pretty much always one bad decision away from watching my life go completely down the drain. Luckily, I have a lifeline: my cute, level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Did I say cute? I didn't mean cute. He's just a friend. I definitely don't have weird sex dreams about him.

A fun and fast-paced read
The book grabbed me right from the get-go, and it didn't let go all throughout. It's expertly paced, with short chapters that keep you hooked. I especially love the combination between the real world and the game world, with action happening in both places, sometimes at once.
There is a smart thesis underlying the book, that deals with modern technology and the negative impact it can have if placed in the wrong hands.
All of this is topped up by an amazing ending. Really, really enjoyed it.

Gripping, smart and intense
This book flows fast, hopping from one interesting scene to the other. Every chapter is justified, and most end on small cliffhangers that compel you to keep reading
I really enjoyed Marcus as a main character, as well as the other one (which I won’t spoil) Marcus’ arc feels natural and rewarding
Narrator is excellent. I hadn’t heard of him before, but apparently he’s very famous. I can see what.
Anyway, give this a listen!

Great story! Impeccable narration.
Michael Kramer is my favorite narrator, and he doesn't disappoint here. The story is really engaging, with great characters that have believable arcs.
Nice action, a few surprising twists and a banger of an ending
