Publisher's summary

Deke dreams of a better life, and that means money.

Money and influence like the type earned by those who play at the peak of the sport he loves. The elites of the NBA.

A small-town kid from a trailer park in Canada, Deke already had all the odds stacked against him. Even with his slim chances, he got recruited as a scholarship athlete. He joined the University of San Pandero in California and took his first step on his road to the top. He was flying high until he landed wrong. The doctor's planned recovery time ruined his season. That changed Halloween night when Deke tried to save a teammate. His hobbled flight from the goons beating up Ronnie would change his life forever.

The harrowing escape ends when Deke finds an unknown needle sticking out of his leg. Uncovering the syringe, he discovers its contents already injected, and a video game-like message scrolls by with a deadly ultimatum.

Deke makes the only choice he can and downs the vial of glowing blue liquid in a single gulp....

It's About the Story...

First off, I want to make it clear that basketball is on the bottom of my list for professional sports. So, me listening to a book based on the sport is significant to start. But this book is worth it.

It is the story and the true emotions of the characters that drive this book. They all feel real with personalities and perspectives that make sense for them. The situations and emotional drive of this book just hooked me and kept me locked-in.

Every motivation amd every flaw for every character in this book feels real. That is really what makes their growth so fascinating to watch.

if you are like me and would normally pass this book up because it's a sports theme, you are missing out terribly. Give it a listen and you'll be just as hooked as I have been.

loved it

I enjoyed this book alot it's very fast-paced however give you more than enough detail to not feel lost or or make the book feel disjointed. I absolutely can't wait for the next book and can't recommend you check this book out enough.

its ok, but …

ok story … its just, i don’t like how the authors strong arm the mc into everything… even if you think can’t react don’t mean you can’t .. thats just psychological war far … and the younger crowd that reads this will believe that stuff … teach your readers to stand up for themselves… thats what bugs me … its like making a nation of sheep/cattle nothing good will come of that
