Bounty hunter Nixy is paid by parents to pull fellow teens out of the virtual-reality world of MEEP when they exceed the time limit. When the game's developer hires her to find his son, she discovers he's not hiding but trapped. Readers probably won't see the shocking ending coming, and Durango adeptly balances breathless gaming action with rich character development.
