Description

Call of Duty meets Diablo in this fast-paced, action-packed novel from the author of The Wasteland Saga. Gamer PerfectQuestion fights for ColaCorp in WarWorld, an online combat sport arena where mega-corporations field entire armies in the battle for real world global advertising-space dominance. Within the immense virtual battlefield, players and bots are high-tech grunts, using drop-ships and state-of-the-art assault rifles to attack the enemy. But when times are tough, there's always the Black, an illegal open-source tournament where the sick and twisted desires of the future are given free rein. And all too soon, the real and virtual worlds collide when PerfectQuestion refuses to become the tool of a mad man intent on hacking the global economy for himself, and fights to stay alive - in WarWorld, in the Black, and in the real world.

Reviews

'This smart combination of video-game action and stinging dystopian satire is meticulously assembled by actor and author Cole ... a cheeky and enjoyable effort from an author to watch' Publisher's Weekly
