Hardcover
(Delacorte Press, Nov. 17, 2015)
From James Dashner, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, comes The Game of Lives, the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts. Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michaelâs passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life. The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality DoctrineâKaineâs master planâhas nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the boxâif Michael can figure out who his friends really are. And don't miss The Maze Runner movie and its sequel, Maze Runner:The Scorch Trials, from Twentieth Century Fox! Praise for the Mortality Doctrine Series: âDashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking âwhat is real.ââ âio9.com âSet in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashnerâs hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.â âMTV.com âA brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.â âChristian Science Monitor
