The
Deadliest Game (Tom Clancy's Net Force)
by Tom Clancy, Steve R. Pieczenik
Computer savvy teens, a war game gone awry, and good old-fashioned
intrigue are the elements of The Deadliest Game, a high-octane episode
in Tom Clancy's wildly popular teen series Net Force. Clancy and co-author
Steve Pieczenik envision a futuristic society where people enliven their
dull lives with intense virtual experiences. One of the most favored of
these virtual realities is a medieval war game called Sarxos. Players leave
their physical bodies at home while an implant in their head carries them
through their computer to the virtual Dominion of Sarxos, a land where
they may be anyone-- from a reigning warlord to a practicing hedge-wizard.
But when players who are winning too many battles in Sarxos start getting
stalked and attacked in the real world, it becomes clear that one player
has begun taking the game far too seriously.
Enter teen cyber-sleuths Meg and Leif, experienced Sarxos players. As
members of the Net Force Explorers, a teen auxiliary of the cyber-crime-stopping
Net Force, Meg and Leif start questioning characters in the alternate reality.
Even when their boss instructs them to stop, they stay hot on the trail
of the online Sarxian player who is "bouncing" any threatening opponent
out of the game. But time is running out in the search for the online criminal,
and Meg and Leif may find themselves the next bouncees!
In Net Force, Tom Clancy has created a cyber-thrilling series that will
transition into the next millennium with ease. The breathless action and
abrupt plot transitions between the real world and virtual reality will
fascinate teen computer fiends and young video gamers alike. (Ages 13 and
older) --Jennifer Hubert - Amazon.com
