Unfortunately, it is Rick in the real world who is far more interesting and story worthy than Rick in the Realm. I am not a fan of computer games and found many of the passages describing his battles with alien creatures so boring that I skipped them. His life on the outside with his missing father, adoring 8 year old brother, stoic mother and ever puzzling government agents was much more entertaining. Even the awkward confrontation with his ex-girlfriend after he has sulked in his room and ignored her and his friends while feeling sorry for himself for 4 months was more interesting than battling spider worms, crocodile soldiers and purple dragon men! All this being said the boys at my school will probably lap this up and I WILL read the next one in the series to see how he gets on. (  ) nicsreads | Mar 29, 2015 | The biggest drawback is that, although Rick's body is fully functioning within the Realm, any injuries he sustains while in there are real, and when he withdraws from the Realm, the injuries remain. If he is killed while inside the Realm, he will remain in a coma forever in the real world. This is book one of a trilogy, guaranteed to be loved by those who enjoyed The Matrix or Ender's Game.

HTML: When Rick lost the ability to run, he came one step closer to becoming a hero. New High Score! New Record Time! Rick nodded with grim satisfaction. He laid the game controller aside on the sofa and reached for his crutches. Rick Dial was the best quarterback Putnam Hills High School had ever seen. Unflappable. Unstoppable. Number 12. But when a car accident left him crippled, Rick's life as he knew it ended. He disavowed his triumphant past. He ignored his girlfriend. He disappeared into his bedroom—and into the glowing video screen. But Rick's uncanny gaming skills have attracted attention. Dangerous attention. Government agents have uncovered a potentially devastating cyber-threat: a Russian genius has created a digital reality called the Realm, from which he can enter, control, and disrupt American computer systems . . . from transportation to defense. The agents want Rick, quick-thinking quarterback and gaming master, to enter the Realm and stop the madman—before he sends America into chaos. Entering the Realm will give Rick what he thought he'd never have again: a body as strong and fast as it was before the accident. But this is no game, there are no extra lives, and what happens to Rick in the Realm happens to Rick's body in reality. Even after Rick agrees to help, he can't shake the sense that he's being kept in the dark. Why would a government agency act so aggressively? Can anyone inside the Realm be trusted? How many others have entered before him . . . and failed to return? In the tradition of Ender's Game and The Matrix, MindWar is a complex thriller about a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers a hidden gift—a gift that could make him a hero . . . or cost him everything. "Edgar Award–winning Klavan's well-orchestrated fantasy thriller features . . . an imaginative mix of gaming action with real-life stakes. With just the right cliff-hanger ending, this trilogy opener shows promise." —Booklist .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
