* * * *. Fiction. 30 years in the future, the inventor of a successful virtual game dies. Childless, he had always hinted that clues to the location of his vast wealth were buried deep in his own invented world, a recreation of anything and everything referencing pop culture of the 1980s. For years, players of this world attempted time and again, to no avail, to find this well guarded fortune.

At his passing, word spreads instantaneously, and now the race is on.

Until a lonely shy player deciphers the first clue. Now the stakes are high in this dystopian future as Wade discovers the extremes some are willing to go to beat him, even if it involves murder.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The landscape and characters are well drawn out and believable. Whether in the 'real' world or the 'virtual' world the plot still manages to move and the pages fly by.

Add a star * if you are child of the 80s because you will definitely enjoy all the well researched 80s references.
