GAMER by Chris Bradford
An action-packed dystopian epic from Bodyguard author Chris Bradford.
Scott is an orphan, roaming the streets in search of food like so many other children. When the opportunity to become a games tester for Vince Power and his Virtual Kombat video games comes along, he leaps at the chance. It is the most realistic fighting video game ever invented – so real it hurts! Once a Gamer enters the fighting world, it becomes hard to distinguish between what is real and what is not. Scott must work his way up the ranks to make it out alive, but when friend and rival Kate fails to return from the Virtual Arena, Scott begins to wonder if it’s more than just a game…The Matrix meets The Hunger Games in this fast-paced action thriller.
