Rabbits

Terry Miles

Kiedy śmiertelnie niebezpieczna sekretna gra zagraża rzeczywistości, świat może uratować tylko jeden człowiek Rabbits to gra tocząca się w alternatywnej rzeczywistości, tak rozległa, że korzysta z całego świata jako planszy. Od momentu jej rozpoczęcia odbyło się już dziesięć edycji, w których ogłoszono dziewięciu zwycięzców. Ich tożsamość jest jednak nieznana. Podobnie jak nagroda, którą mogły być rzekomo rekrutacja do NSA lub CIA, bogactwo, nieśmiertelność, a może nawet klucz do tajemnic wszechświata. Jednak im głębiej wnika się w grę, tym niebezpieczniejsza się staje. Gracze ginęli już w przeszłości, a liczba ofiar rośnie. Właśnie zbliża się rozpoczęcie jedenastej edycji. K, pasjonat Rabbits, od lat próbuje dostać się do gry. Miliarder Alan Scarpio, podający się za zwycięzcę szóstej edycji, twierdzi, że z grą dzieje się coś niedobrego i że K musi ją naprawić, zanim zacznie się rozgrywka w przeciwnym razie świat się rozpadnie. Wkrótce po zaginięciu Scarpia rozpoczyna się jedenasta edycja. A losy całego wszechświata spoczywają w rękach jednego bohatera Spora doza tajemniczości w czasach konspiracyjnego szaleństwa, przerażająca historia, która przekonująco przypomina nam o niebezpiecznej wiarygodności teorii spiskowych. Cory Doctorow, autor Małego brata Rabbits to powieść zręcznie napisana i pełna intryg. Łączy w sobie surrealizm Haruki Murakamiego z porywającym tempem i popkulturowymi wrzutkami z filmu Player One. Zapiera dech! Nicholas Eames, autor Królów Wyldu
