Synopsis

From Dan Wells, author of the New York Times bestselling Partials Sequence and the John Cleaver series, comes the second book in a dark, pulse-pounding sci-fi-noir series set in 2050 Los Angeles.Overworld. It’s more than just the world’s most popular e-sport—for thousands of VR teams around the globe, Overworld is life. It means fame and fortune, or maybe it’s a ticket out of obscurity or poverty. If you have a connection to the internet and four friends you trust with your life, anything is possible.Marisa Carneseca is on the hunt for a mysterious hacker named Grendel when she receives word that her amateur Overworld team has been invited to Forward Motion, one of the most exclusive tournaments of the year. For Marisa, this could mean anything—a chance to finally go pro and to help her family, stuck in an LA neighborhood on the wrong side of the growing divide between the rich and the poor. But Forward Motion turns out to be more than it seems—rife with corruption, infighting, and danger—and Marisa runs headlong into Alain Bensoussan, a beautiful, dangerous underground freedom fighter who reveals to her the darker side of the forces behind the tournament. It soon becomes clear that, in this game, winning might be the only way to get out alive.

Edit: I'm gonna bring this up to 5 stars because I loved Fang so much. "I like my shell." She is my favorite character and I will die protecting her. I want more of her. 4.5 stars—this book made me cry, it’s so good. This series is odd because it balances so many things. It’s one part slice of life-y......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on April 15, 2017

Cherry Dogs forever! This was an excellent, excellent heist story, combined with a sports story, combined with a timely meditation on urban decay, classism, and the perils of living in a corporate-controlled society. So, you know, typical Dan Wells kiddie fare. Also, some seriously snappy dialogue, mor......more

Amé, amé, amé. ¡Que librazo! No fue nadaaaa lo que esperaba y me lo disfruté un montón. Venimos con el final de bluescreen abierto, un caso inconcluso, pero en este se topan con otro problemita en el camino que les obliga a desviarse un poco de la “misión” principal pero que para nadaaa es aburrida, n......more

Goodreads review by Kara-karina on February 10, 2017

This is absolutely glorious series for the lovers of anything to do with computerised dystopian societies, and this one was also a highly believable one. Both Bluescreen and Ones & Zeroes left me buzzing high on adrenaline with their fast-paced, riveting stories and fantastic characters. In a strange......more
