Summary:
Six young people play a dangerous game of tag in public, chasing one another through the crowds, roads, and structures of Chicago. This key, one-of-a-kind, wildly costly game offers a macabre twist towards the child years version: in the event that you obtain tagged, you expire.
Three “Its” possess their known reasons for buying a place in the game. Surgically improved Brandy is enthusiastic about destroying a naturally beautiful gal. Untalented Robert covets his target’s position as superstar from the golf ball team. Brainiac about Tag, You’re Dead Charles craves a battle against an intellectual similar. Given their top notch social position, they reject any possible downside to the competition. Each needs the fulfillment of killing their prey, after that walking away.
Handpicked innocents enjoy as “Runners,” less than threat with their loved ones as long as they refuse to participate: beautiful, small-town Laura; celebrated athlete Tyrese; and Amanda, gamer extraordinaire. By itself, hunted by their adversary, each feels a single hope: to survive.
Technological wizardry controls the overall game. When Runners receive the “Proceed” signal on smartwatches locked to their wrists, the overall game rockets them through the town, from the Un to Michigan Avenue towards the Lincoln Recreation area Zoo. There is absolutely no time to rest. Every 30 mins the Runner’s area is transmitted, continuously diminishing the Runner’s chance of ever reaching home base alive.
The game won’t end until someone is tagged, therefore the Runners must choose how exactly to play. Will they accept loss of life? Can they murder their “Its?” Or will they discover a way to make use of their individual advantages to stop the game before anyone dies?”A well-constructed cross of Richard Connell’s 1920s brief story PROBABLY THE MOST Dangerous Game (in which people hunt humans for sport), Stephen King’s The Running Man (featuring a murderous game), and, of course, The Hunger Video games, but Street includes enough first material to help make the story feel fresh…Good reading for King fans as well as those many large numbers who secretly wish that Katniss Everdeen was still playing her own harmful game.”-Booklist
