Scott, age unknown, lives on the streets with other orphans after the killer virus of 2030 wiped out a vast amount of adults. He is running from a gang when he gets the chance to prove his gamer skills and is accepted to be a Virtual Kombat gamer. Life should improve wildly for Scott, but with the catchphrase, "So real it hurts," Scott might be in for something more sinister than he bargained for.
This is the first in a series of three books. At just over 100 pages, all three books could be compiled into one, but the size will appeal to reluctant readers. Fast-moving action combined with video gaming will draw in readers. While the characters don't get a chance to be very fleshed out, the premise will keep you going. A great way to "kill" an afternoon. Literally. No races or cultures are specified in this futuristic setting.
