Endgame: The Calling
by James Frey, Nils Johnson-Shelton
This has so much potential, I'm definitely going to reread when the whole thing goes live. Plot wise, it was a little disjointed at first as we were introduced to so many characters in a short time, but things develop and start to flow properly - and it becomes a fast paced action adventure. I really liked the variety of different players, so diverse and yet linked by the same basic endgame - win! Yes, there are similarities to The Hunger Games but there are also big differences. I particularly liked the fact that we're shown all the players and not led by a main protagonist. If it fulfills it's potential, then this could be a game changer. In each book there is a puzzle, which links to a Google Niantic app - this means that the reader can actually get involved with the solving of a scavenger hunt which leads to real rewards. It will be a social media event on a massive scale.
Unfortunately, in the ARC the clues and puzzles are for display only. Which means I'll have to wait with the rest of you until October 7th to try my hand at winning the gold! Good luck!
