Comments: This feels like classic, Maze Runner, Dashner - fast, fun, dangerous. Michael is a gifted gamer who spends plenty of time with his buddies in VirtNet, the virtual world. The book opens with a great hook, when Michael is trying to complete a quest that requires him to talk another player out of jumping off a bridge. But her reaction is much stronger, more real and more grisly than anything that's happened to him in the game before because she pulls out her core, killing both her virtual and real self. Shaken, Michael wonders about the hacker Kane that the girl mentioned. Soon, he finds out, because he is recruited by government agents who need a skilled gamer to stop Kane from the inside. Yes, there is plenty of adventure and mystery to keep the reader turning pages. Definitely would like to see this on this list. - Yvette/Merrimack

I agree. Yes for me on this one - Amy/ Barrington MS
