    About this ebook

    Six young people break into a live action gaming arcade populated by the resurrected bodies of executed criminals. Not all of them will escape alive.
     

    SERIES DESCRIPTION:


    Hidden in an abandoned Long Island wasteland is a terrifying secret. Twelve years before, a horrible disease killed millions without mercy. Then the dead rose. Twelve years later, the island has been turned into a sick playground for the rich, the privileged, and the sinfully twisted.

    Welcome to The Game.

    EPISODE 1: Deep Into the Game

    Hoping to break the monotony of the long, hot summer, Zpocalypto gamer Jessie Daniels and her gang break onto Long Island. But amusement quickly turns to dread as the dangers become all too real. And all too terrifying.

    EPISODE 2: Failsafe

    Two members clash and another is stranded among the Infected Undead. One will make a fateful decision which will ultimately deliver them into the hands of those who would turn them all into players in The Game.

    EPISODE 3: Deadman's Switch

    Unable to escape, the group digs in. A leader is anointed despite doubts. A final attempt is made to leave, setting into motion events which will end with one of them dead, another infected, and all of them running for their lives.

    EPISODE 4: Sunder the Hollow Ones

    A mutiny splits the group. As they struggle to escape, a chance encounter with one of Gameland's residents dredges up deeply buried memories, leaving them all haunted and dubious of their survival.

    EPISODE 5: Prometheus Wept

    A member is handed over to a mysterious group of Undead sympathizers in exchange for a promised antidote. But will the medicine be delivered in time? Will it even work as promised?

    EPISODE 6: Kingdom of Players

    Armed with a potential antiserum to the reanimation virus, will they be able to save their infected friend? Or will they die and return as one of the Undead?

    EPISODE 7: Tag, You're Dead

    The group is torn asunder by the actions of a homicidal maniac. Another group member falls ill as the Undead break into their stronghold. Their final battle will bring them to their darkest hour.

    EPISODE 8: Jacker's Code

    The shocking conclusion to the high-tech horror thriller, GAMELAND: Determined to do whatever is necessary to get home, the remaining survivors face the most difficult challenges of their lives. Will any of them make it back alive? Or will they be added to the numbers of Undead Players?

      Gameland Episode 2: Failsafe is part of a larger work with a total of 8 episodes and a prequel. As excited as I was with the prequel, Golgotha, and the first episode, Deep Into the Game, I have now lost some of that enthusiasm. With more than a dozen proofreading errors in this 83 page novella, it got to be more than a little distracting.The story it'self is still a good one and the writing style is still comfortable and entertaining. A little background may be in order here. Between climate change and periodic zombie outbreaks, the near future is a different world. Consider the Life Service Law, now everyone is legally considered government property after death. You die, you become Undead and you serve the government in some capacity until your time of servitude is ended. Then there's Gameland, Long Island is cut off completely, "after the second flood, the Army Corps of Engineers went in and walled it off and evacuated the people still alive." Later, Arc Properties converted one of the zones on LI into a new type of gaming arcade, which they called Gameland. Then they imported a new crop of Zombies as Players. It costs more than a million bucks to buy into the game.A group of 6 teenage hackers with more spunk than brains decide it might be fun to see if they can get onto Long Island and check it out.In Gameland Episode 2: Failsafe the action picks up after the central characters escape the Forbidden Zones and the episode is primarily about a rescue attempt to get one of their friends who was trapped during their effort to escape. There's a lot of teenag angst and the writer deals with relationships in a very convincing manner and overall the story is wildly entertaining. I just wish the product had fewer grammatical errors.If you'd like to read Gameland each of the 8 episodes are available separately, or there is a complete omnibus version with everything except the prequel for a discounted price.
