Translated by Judith Pattinson.
In this German import, a mysterious new video game becomes all the rage at Nick's London high school. The game seems to have a mind of its own, directing players to accomplish quests in both the virtual and the real world. The plot is thrilling and suspenseful, and the depiction of gaming raises a host of provocative questions about its prevalence in popular culture.
