The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver – 5 Stars
Publisher: Penguin Group Putnam
ISBN: 9780525535942
We can always count on Jeffery
Deaver’s books and short stories to be enjoyable and well written, to have
great characters and to include a plot with perfect complexity. This first book
of a series is no exception.
Although we are not gamers, we did
relish the lesson in the world of gaming. We never expected it to be so well
accepted with huge revenues off games, equipment, accessories, and a host of
other side products. Despite a complete description of the industry and company
employees, the technical details were spared but covered to the right degree to
supplement the mystery within. Also
interesting and applicable were Colter Shaw’s upbringing in the family compound
and firm instruction in wilderness survival which played most important in his
venture to find and survive the tracking of kidnapped people. For the “Gamer”
it was a game. For Colter it was business as usual.
The Silicon
Valley case is solved in this book, but a lead-in for future books
makes you salivate for the next course, plus dessert. We are already starving
Mr. Deaver – make it soon.
