This book takes place in the same universe as Heir Apparent but is about a completely new cast of characters. Like in the other book Arvin and his friends are playing in a fantastical virtual reality game where they are the characters they invented. But when Arvin’s mother, who is also playing, starts to get deathly ill, they will need all their wits to beat the game and return to the real world to save her. This I would say straddles the line between fantasy and science fiction. On the one hand, our characters are playing a extremely advanced virtual reality game. On the other hand they are playing a fantasy game. Vande Velde always does a great job.
