About this ebook

The New York Times bestseller and international multimedia phenomenon!

In each generation, for thousands of years, twelve Players have been ready. But they never thought Endgame would happen. Until now.

Omaha, Nebraska. Sarah Alopay stands at her graduation ceremony—class valedictorian, star athlete, a full life on the horizon. But when a meteor strikes the school, she survives. Because she is the Cahokian Player. Endgame has begun.

Juliaca, Peru. At the same moment, thousands of miles away, another meteor strikes. But Jago Tlaloc is safe. He has a secret, and his secret makes him brave. Strong. Certain. He is the Olmec Player. He's ready. Ready for Endgame.

Across the globe, twelve meteors slam into Earth. Cities burn. But Sarah and Jago and the ten others Players know the truth. The meteors carry a message. The Players have been summoned to The Calling. And now they must fight one another in order to survive. All but one will fail. But that one will save the world. This is Endgame.

The dystopia genre has always interested me. Plenty of room for one more tale of doom and gloom. I have enjoyed the writings of James Frey in the past. Having Nils Johnson-Shelton on board is also huge IMO, love his Otherworld Chronicles series. Beyond the book there will be so much more to explore and discover. I don't mean just the gold prize. I mean the whole transmedia experience across multiple channels. Niantic's involvement has me excited too.

I honestly don't like reading books for Leisure. I went to an Ingress event last month in Las Vegas where they pushed this book pretty hard. I thought it sounded interesting and so I went and picked up a copy. It started with me reading a couple of pages at a time. I then got drawn into the story and found myself reading 50-100 pages at a time. Don't let the haters who say it is just like Hunger Games make you not want to read the book. The comparison would be to compare Star Wars to Star Trek.

It really is a mix of books and movies. Imagine The Hunger Games, but every tribute is Jason Bourne from the Bourne Identity and, instead of an arena the battleground is the world where each of them is playing a life and death game of The Amazing Race. I highly suggest this book in digital format if you're looking for something beyond your normal reading experience. There are links to videos dealing with the story and a blog called Ancient Societies to go with this story.
