But, this was Marie Lu, I reminded myself, so it must be good.
I have this habit where the thought of virtual reality catches my attention initially, but struggles to hold it. How did I not realize this book dealt with virtual reality? That’s what summaries are for. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before I realized that Warcross was the name of a virtual reality game. Without even reading the summary, I got myself a copy and dove right in. So, when I stumbled on Warcross, I knew I needed to read it since the same author wrote it. The first book I’d read by Marie Lu was Legend. But soon her investigation uncovers a sinister plot, with major consequences for the entire Warcross empire. With no time to lose, Emika’s whisked off to Tokyo and thrust into a world of fame and fortune that she’s only dreamed of. He needs a spy on the inside of this year’s tournament in order to uncover a security problem.
To make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships–only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation.Ĭonvinced she’s going to be arrested, Emika is shocked when instead she gets a call from the game’s creator, the elusive young billionaire Hideo Tanaka, with an irresistible offer. However, the bounty-hunting world is a competitive one, and survival has not been easy.
Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down Warcross players who bet on the game illegally. The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. For the millions who log in every day, Warcross isn’t just a game–it’s a way of life.
