Sky Key
Part of an ambitious cross-platform project developed by the author’s production company and Google Niantic, Sky Key is the second in a trilogy of punchy, pacey dystopian novels. Selected to represent their bloodline from civilisations across the world, twelve teenagers must fight to find three ancient keys to save their line, and the world, but only one Player can win…With the Earth Key found, just two Keys and nine Players remain but, as Sarah discovers, finding a Key comes at a high price. While the cast of global characters must make horrendously high-stake decisions and solve mind-bending puzzles in order to survive, so readers can become part of the high-octane action through piecing together clues to unravel a riddle. Relentlessly fast-moving and tautly-told, this unique rollercoaster ride of a trilogy - and the wider trans-media venture - will hold great appeal for fans of The Hunger Games. ~ Joanne Owen
The Calling
Chosen from across the world, a fight to the death is the destiny of the twelve young people who have been selected to represent their families in the Endgame. The Players know who they are and they know which line they represent. Sarah from Omaha is Player of the 223rdline – the Cahokian; Jago Tialoc from Peru, Player of the 21st line, is the son of two Players. They are just two of the twelve who, like all the rest, have been training for the deadly Endgame. It is a challenge of strength and skill with unscrambling puzzles at its very heart. Each of the Players reacts differently to their fate and to the journey they have embarked on. Readers, too, will have to follow the clues to get to tease out this well-crafted and well-knotted puzzle. ~ Julia Eccleshare-------------------------------This exciting new collaboration between James Frey and Google Niantic Labs is a multi-media experience, which links the Engame trilogy, of which The Calling is the first, with an app puzzle.
