Description:

In sci-fi author Sam Landstrom�s MetaGame, he creates a believable but disturbing world with fewer than six degrees of separation. In fact, every single person, product, pastime, and proclivity humans take part in is interconnected. Life is the Game � and winners never die. In the Game, points amount to currency and top scorers are eligible for immortality. A mysterious, unifying force, the OverSoul, calls the shots, and an individual player�s health contract can be indefinitely extended � and with the offer of a permanent twenty-year-old�s body and health, it�s with fanaticism that gamers play the Game. D_Light is one of the best players in his family and will do anything to win, even kill. When he�s invited to a MetaGame � an exclusive, high-stakes competition � he jumps at the chance. But after the first quest, D_Light�s overly ambitious ways brand him a renegade. With a warped sense of free will that is needed to prevail, D_Light must either kill someone he�s grown to love � or lose everything.
