The Game of Lives (Mortality Doctrine, #3)

by James Dashner

From James Dashner, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, comes The Game of Lives, the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts.

    Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael’s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life.
    The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine—Kaine’s master plan—has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box—if Michael can figure out who his friends really are.
  
And don't miss The Maze Runner movie and its sequel, Maze Runner:The Scorch Trials, from Twentieth Century Fox!
 
Praise for the Mortality Doctrine Series:
 
“Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking ‘what is real.’” —io9.com
 
“Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner’s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.” —MTV.com
 
“A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.” —Christian Science Monitor

When i signed up for this tour i had not read any of the books in the series so i thought yes perfect time to get it all read and done. This series sucked me in just line Maze Runner did it has lots of twists and turns and your left trying to guess just where the story is going. I thought this final book was the perfect way to tie up the whole series, the final battle gave me chills as those you were told were bad and those you were told were the good guys ends up that was not all entirely true. You also feel the loss of Sarah really profoundly through out this last book and you really keep hoping that maybe it not true maybe she did survive. You do find out that in some weird science freak of data that she is and we are left at the end with just a tease of maybe a spin off coming cause i for one want to know does he get Sarah back.
