Imself aloof from the others, and claims it’s every player for himself. Every moment of the game is kill or be killed, and Miki has only the questionable guidance of Jackson Tate, the team’s alluring and secretive leader. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out. She wakes up fully healed in a place called the lobby – pulled from her life, through time and space into some kind of game in which she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures.
Miki Jones’s carefully controlled life spins into chaos after she’s run down in the street, left broken and bloody. Agent: Robin Rue, Writers House.So what’s the game now? This, or the life I used to know? The result is a science fiction adventure that’ll leave fans demanding the next installment. The gradual unveiling of answers, with Miki relentlessly pressing her teammates for information, occasionally gets frustrating and repetitive, but the payoff-as Silver reveals the true extent of the premise and its implications-is worth it. Silver expertly intertwines Miki’s real life and missions, providing an exciting contrast as things get increasingly complicated. She quickly develops a love-hate relationship with her taciturn team leader, Jackson Tate, and the more Miki learns about the “game” she’s caught up in, the higher the stakes become. It’s on-the-job training, laid out in the framework of a giant game, with points given for various objectives and deducted for certain infractions. Junior Miki Jones is the latest recruit, plucked from her normal existence to fight aliens hiding among humanity and help prepare the world for a full-scale incursion. Adult author Silver (Body of Sin) makes her YA debut with a fast-paced story, first in The Game series, in which specially selected teens wage a secret war against invading aliens.
