The prequel to the New York Times best-selling Maze Runner series. Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the Earth, and mankind fell to disease. Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next. Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there's something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it's mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees.

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, Ready Player One is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.

Ricky Desmond has been through this all before. If he could just get through to his mother, he could convince her that he doesn't belong at Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program - a program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect him - Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second longer.

Very Interesting Dystopian!

Publisher's Summary
From James Dashner, author of the number-one New York Times best-selling Maze Runner series, comes The Game of Lives, the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts.
Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael’s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life.
The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine - Kaine’s master plan - has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box - if Michael can figure out who his friends really are.
And don't miss The Maze Runner movie and its sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, from Twentieth Century Fox!
Praise for the Mortality Doctrine series:
“Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking ‘what is real.’” (io9.com)
“Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner’s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.” (MTV.com)
“A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.” (Christian Science Monitor)

On par with the others
While reading this, I realized I needed to be more critical with my reviews and that while this series was ok, I didn't like it quite as much as I thought I did. The books weren't boring and did a decent job of keeping my attention (which is what made me give this a good review, comparing it to some others I've read) but while listening to this one I did keep finding myself looking forward to finishing it and getting to something better. Maybe its just intended for a much younger audience. One thing I found kind of annoying is that the "bad guys" are always offering immortality as the ultimate prize - and no one ever disputes that.

Very good Book and Audio
For starters, the over all book, audio, and storyline were above my standards. I cannot sit down and normally read a book however This made it more then easy to get my AR points for the nine weeks. The audio was great and I could speed it up pretty quickly and still being able to understand it. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed the series and would like to keep up with it.
