Video game projects get shut down all the time, but when the one Ryan Colter and his team have poured their hearts into gets cut, something different happens: the game refuses to go away. Now Blue Lightning is alive, and it wants something from Ryan - something only he can give it. And everyone knows how addictive video games can be...

I love Richard’s writing!

I’m not a gamer, know next to nothing about the gaming world, yet the way Richard writes makes it so I can still enjoy a story based on the topic. I really enjoyed this story as it brought a new twist to the concept of Ai finding its own sentience.

Nice spin

Brought me back to my game dev days. The narrator wouldn't have been my choice though.

Absolutely great Sci horror

I listened to this as an audiobook and at first, wasn't sure how I was going to feel, but that very quicky changed lol .

The start was slow but I realized I was hooked in too late, and i did not want to stop my audiobook to sleep or make dinner, responsibilities basically anything other then finishing.

This reads a little more scifi to me then horror, but I personally like sci-horror, its such a underrated sub-category.

Also I did NOT know how I felt about our MC the whole damn book lol I was so conflicted do I feel bad for him, or can this dude stop making his own life harder, honestly it felt very real life, conflicted, and not everything is black and white.

And then Sarah or Shelly ????
Fuck Eric, did not like him from the first meeting .

I don't know how I even hoped it would end, do I want everyone to die, do I want the computer to take over, do i hope they just burn the damn building to the ground and hope for the best??
I raced through this as fast as i could listen, and i do recommend it to anyone who does like the scifi horror type books, leaning heavy on the tech.

You will like this if that interests you , I personally will be reading a few more books by this guy, it was a really nice change of pace for me.
