Warcross #1
Warcross was just about everything that I wanted it to be and more. Being a gamer myself, I find the idea of a large scale virtual world and gaming competition thrilling. What a wonderful and inclusive technology! One of the main competitive Warcross players is in a wheelchair, but due to the nature of the game his physical capabilities are never an issue. And the notion of using one’s own brain to render VR environments is genius, if a bit creepy.

Emika is a bright and talented hacker, entering into the Warcross championship games in order to track down someone who’s been tampering with the Warcross code. Someone who creator Hideo Tanaka believes to be another competitor. Thus Emika is thrust into the limelight, simultaneously trying to win her team a championship title while seeking out the mysterious Zero, all while juggling her growing feelings for Hideo. Sci fi, action, adventure, mystery, and romance, what more could a reader ask for? And it’s good…so very good.

There’s not much more that I can say about Warcross without giving things away. If you are at all a fan of science fiction or video gaming, pick up Warcross. You will not be disappointed!
