Publisher's summary

"Augmented reality" game Transdimensional Hunter seems too real for comfort as the world of the game merges with reality. Now, teenage game prodigy Lynn Raven will have to conquer the game or be destroyed by it.

Reality bites—and it has big teeth.

Becoming a global celebrity overnight would make most people happy.

Not Lynn Raven.

As a teenage gaming prodigy, she’s enjoyed years of anonymity behind the virtual mask of Larry Coughlin, war-hardened vet and virtual gaming mercenary. But now Lynn has stepped out of the shadows to compete in the cutting-edge augmented reality game TransDimensional Hunter that has taken the world by storm.

And she’s winning.

But with success has come swarms of paparazzi drones, jealous teammates, and a backstabbing rival team that will use any trick in the book to ruin her.

Then there’s the game itself. At times, the “augmented” reality seems too real for Lynn’s comfort, and strange accidents keep happening. Something is going on; she just has to figure out what.

Lynn would much rather fight monsters than do paparazzi interviews, but somehow she’ll have to master both—and pass her senior year to boot. She managed to step into the real, but will the storm of reality now defeat her for good?

When is the next book in the series

Really great story! It's to short though. It's getting juicy with the world issue. We have to see where Lynn and her clan go next. Do they get recruited into a special training program for the military? Readers need to hear. When is the next volume of the story going to be released?

A great YA

Yes, this sequel continues in the pattern set down in the first book. Good character development, with lots of A.R. action and all the stupid shit that young people angst over, along with some things that would give problems to many adults. At least the young folks in this are open enough to make use of the more mature wisdom they have access to.

great 2nd book!

enjoyed the story progression. looking forward to the third installment. great premise and solid execution so far.

Wonderful story and character development.

If you've got a teen or YA gamer, this series is great for them. Great story and plot, excellent characters and character development, plus pertinent and hilarious gaming, sci-fi, and pop culture references throughout. I and my older nieces and nephew loved it.

I love the references to John Ringo's other novels in this book.

I believe there is nothing wrong with this novel and it is a great read

The Perfect Follow-up

Great book 2 setup for more. Lydia and John continued to build the TDM threat while also increasing the "Real" life threats. Ended the book with a clear vision of where we are headed for book 3, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes next. Guessing this is going to be more than just a regular trilogy with the amount of opportunity setup in this volume.

great store line with great characters

A great build up book. I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Growth of Main Character

I enjoyed hearing Lynn Raven's growth and empowerment throughout the story. I was pivoted by the action. I was thoroughly immersed in the story and did not want it to end.

I would read or listen again.

A very possible future of augmented/virtual realities with interdimensional invaders for focus

Good development of the characters from adolescents to young adults; though from my advanced age I found the teen angst a bit tedious at times. OTOH, recalling my own years of growing up, the kids actually overcame and adapted very quickly.

I'd recommend this series to ALL the generational divisions (however arbitrary and shallow those groupings may be); and am eager for the next volume(s.)

Absolutely Fantastic!

You will be sucked in for a roller coaster of a ride while feeling the main characters emotions and triumphs
