Rip (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798330206452)

Victory Was Just the Beginning...

Fresh from exposing the dark conspiracy behind the Locked In crisis, Everett "Everstarr" Starner receives a taunting invite from his arch-rival Jake da Rippa to a winner-takes-all battle royale in the newly launched Realms of Plunder. 100 players take part in the contest, but the virtual world's deadliest players each have their eyes set on one another.

While Everstarr prepares to settle an explosive score, trouble brews on his former home turf. In the power vacuum of Realms of Glory, upstart player Charlie capitalizes on Everstarr's absence to rally the Lordz under a new banner. Caught between massive multiplayer free-for-alls on two fronts, Everett's real life threatens to derail with social struggles at school and personal upheaval at home.

As climactic clashes rage across fantastical online arenas, the line between game and reality has never been blurrier. Pushing his skills to the limit, Everett must reconcile his dual identities and confront his greatest insecurities. In this pulse-pounding sequel to Locked In, the stakes are more lethal than ever, and not everyone will Rest In Peace...
