Description
In John Scalzi's gripping near-future thriller, winning becomes everything in a world ravaged by a virus. A new sport is taking the US by storm, with teams battling it out for victory using swords and hammers.
The game is frenetic and violent, but players with Haden's Syndrome have an edge - they use robot bodies to compete, controlled mentally. This high-stakes sport has captured the crowds' imagination, but when a star athlete drops dead on the field, FBI agents Chris Shane and Leslie Vann must get to the bottom of it.
As they dig deeper, they'll uncover a world where fortunes can be made - or lost - in this cutthroat game. With tensions running high both on and off the field, Scalzi's trademark snappy dialogue brings this chilling near-future SF to life.
