Warcross by Marie Lu


From the Marie Lu author of Legend, comes a new twist on the not-so-distant future. Emika Chen is living on her own in New York; she has been since her father died seven years earlier. She has an apartment with her friend, but they are barely getting by and face eviction weekly. Emika makes money as a bounty hunter, finding people who bet illegally on Warcross, a virtual reality, world-wide game. For many, Warcross is beyond just a game, it is more a way of life. Emika isn't only a fan and player of Warcross, she's also a hacker... a really good one.

On the day of the opening games of the International Warcross Championship, Emika accidentally glitches herself into the game, visible to everyone in the world, including Warcross' creator Hideo Tanaka. Tanaka gives her an irresistible offer to help him hunt down another hacker who threatens his entire gaming empire. Emika does it all: player, hunter, hacker, and pawn... but will these roles bring her down??

This book was on-the-edge, non-stop action, and unputdownable. Although it is clearly fiction, real world technology is moving so fast that one cannot help but wonder exactly how close we really are to worldwide VR gaming. Although this type of book is not within my normal genre of reading, I absolutely loved it!

This book is available at AHS, BCHS, ECHS, GVHS, LHS, & MHS
