From James Dashner, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling
Maze Runner series, comes the first book in the bestselling Mortality
Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that
includes The Rule of Thoughts and The Game of Lives.
Includes a sneak peek of The Fever Code, the highly anticipated
conclusion to the Maze Runner series--the novel that finally reveals how
the Maze was built!
The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and the more hacking
skills you have, the more fun it is. Why bother following the rules when
it's so easy to break them? But some rules were made for a reason. Some
technology is too dangerous to fool with. And one gamer has been doing
exactly that, with murderous results.
The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker. And
they've been watching Michael. If he accepts their challenge, Michael
will need to go off the VirtNet grid, to the back alleys and corners of
the system human eyes have never seen--and it's possible that the line
between game and reality will be blurred forever.
Praise for the Mortality Doctrine Series:
"Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for
asking 'what is real.'" --io9.com
"Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series
perfectly capture[s] Dashner's hallmarks for inventiveness, teen
dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other
author." --MTV.com
"A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and
Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd."
--Christian Science Monitor
