YA
Game series.
In this conclusion to the trilogy, Miki and Jackson continue trying to save the world by fighting the Drau in the Committee's live-action game simulation. An encounter with someone from Jackson's past forces the teens to question why they play (and kill). This action-packed sci-fi/romance's use of a female gamer as its protagonist is refreshing.

YA
Game series.
Romantically involved teens Miki and Jackson, who both have a mix of human and extraterrestrial DNA, are pulled back into the live-action video game where reality is blurred and danger is real. In this second series book (Rush), battling action takes a welcome back seat to stronger plot and character development, and a cliffhanger ending will leave fans waiting for more.

YA
Game series.
Teens are thrust into a live-action video game battling vicious aliens in this series opener. Miki, who appears in the game after a near fatal accident, realizes that it's actually more than a game--it's life or death. The usually thrilling pace occasionally hits some slow spots, but overall fans of science fiction, gaming, and romance will enjoy this Ender's Game read-alike.
