2018 ... a very well paced story surrounding the plight of a group of kids pitted against one another in a very brutal tournament of life and death. as you follow the story leading up to the actual tournament you get to meet and become acquainted with the main characters and how their living dynamics have changed since the new government has taken over after the war of 2015. everything is different and the world has been divided up into districts and the rules are abusively strict... you either live by the rules of the New Government or you die... and the Tournament is an extension of those rules. Alex King grows by leaps and bounds as he learns more about himself as the day of the tournament gets closer, but that is just the beginning of his plight I have a feeling that there is more to come as he grows ... I'm looking forward to reading more about him and his friends in the story to come.
