The suspense novel The Game is a breath-taking thriller where the inventor of a virtual reality video game, and his children, are pulled into the game, literally, by a living virus — who wants to use them to help her escape the game and join the real world.

The set up of the story is about Phillip McKenzie, a man obsessed with creating a video game like no other currently on the market. He has invested five years into its code and the release date is looming. Investors are screaming. Time is up. Finally success pays a short lived visit as he realises something is inside the game; something evil and looking for a way out.

Using an energy source, Phillip is dragged into the game-world and locked in a dungeon until he finds a way for a living virus, calling itself ‘The Wanderer’, to escape the confinement of the virtual reality world.
The Wanderer knows his secrets; she has watched and secretly helped him develop the skills and the math required to create this digital reality. She is also in love with him and hopes he will join her and together they can rule the outside world. But her advances, both sexual and power driven are rejected. She must look to the outside world for leverage.

And she finds it in the form of his daughter.
