<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After a night out partying, a slacker finds a cell phone on a train and begins receiving text messages inviting him to play a game where participants rate videos of pranks and criminal acts that eventually start merging into the real world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first novel in a groundbreaking international thriller trilogy about a deadly game that blurs the line between reality and fiction.</b> <p/><b>Follow the rules and everybody gets hurt...</b> <p/>One Sunday morning after a long night of partying, Henrik "HP" Pettersson, a slacker with a lot of ego and very little impulse control, finds a cell phone of an unfamiliar make on a commuter train. Through insisting and slightly uncanny messages that refer to him by name, the phone invites him to play a game. HP accepts without hesitation. <p/>The rules are that HP must complete tasks that range from childish pranks to criminal acts, as allocated by the mysterious Game Master. HP is the perfect contender--alienated from society, devoid of morals, and desperate for fame. His completion of the assignments are filmed and uploaded onto a protected server where viewers rate the Players' performances. <p/>The Game starts out innocently enough and then becomes increasingly risky, threatening the safety of someone close to HP. He is determined to become a superstar, but when the dark and tragic secrets of his family's past are at stake, HP must make a choice. Will he suffer the humiliation of defeat, or will the need to win push him to the limit--no matter the cost? <p/>First in a fast-paced and riveting trilogy, Game will leave you guessing. Follow the rules, and <i>everybody</i> gets hurt...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A high voltage, high tech thriller of a trilogy...fast paced and full of surprises...a suspenseful and intelligent read."-- "The Novel Pursuit"<br><br>"A taut thriller that will leave the reader excited for the next book in the series."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"Exciting first in a thriller trilogy...relentless pacing leads to a stunning finale."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"GAME is one of those novels that has layers within layers.
