Jennet
Carter’s father is a program manager for a company called VirtuMax and they
make video games. They’re working on a Full-D system where the gamer is
completely immersed in the game. Full sensory simulation where it feels like
the gamer is actually in the game world. When the lead game developer dies the
company transfers Jennet’s dad to Crestview and Jennet moves with him even
though the school is well below what she is used to. Jennet has to stay close
to the prototype Full-D system her dad has because when she was gaming in
Feyland something strange happened when she lost to the Dark Queen.
Now,
she needs a champion to go back into Feyland and win back what she lost. But in
this poor technological wasteland of a school will she be able to find a champion
capable of simming? She better because she only has until Halloween before the
Dark Queen sucks all her energy until she dies and Feyland gate crashes into
the real world. Will Tam Linn be that champion? Can he escape his messed up
life long enough to save Jennet? And is he good enough to beat the Dark Queen
and her champion, the Dark Knight? Jennet certainly hopes so.
Well-written
and smooth-flowing this story wastes no time with dilly dallying and proceeds
along at a crisp pace. The plot is extremely interesting and I love the
characters. With Feyland crouched on the other side of the Gate waiting to
pounce on the unwary humans in the real world I’m very curious to see what the
next book brings.
