Life is just a game, or is it?

In this fast-paced thriller which merges the gaming world with geopolitics, the players plan to win at any cost. Nothing is sacred, not even life itself under this win-at-all-costs philosophy.

BB and his ex-wife Linden have 48 hours to find their kidnapped daughter or she’s dead. Game clues lead them from country to country. Many times the odds seem impossibly stacked against them. Old friends, new enemies, and the long arm of the law become threats as the clock winds down.

Everyone appears to have a secret advisor, so who’s really in charge of this game?

Detailed and engaging. I had to know what happened next.

Well-thought-out and intricate plot. I've often thought that politics and even corporate actions all felt like games--someone controlling others to "win." This book capitalizes on this idea, as well as actual games the protagonist has to solve to rescue his daughter (and so much more). But who is actually playing whom? Great twists in the story.
