Descripción editorial
Win the mission. Or die for real.
When Miki Jones throws herself into traffic to save a child, she expects to wake up in a hospital bed. Instead, she wakes up in the Game.
Dragged into a deadly alternate reality alongside four other teenagers, Miki is given a single impossible mission: survive brutal combat against alien creatures and save humanity—or never make it home again.
There are no second chances.
No respawns.
No quitting.
Every mission is real. Every death is permanent.
Completely untrained, Miki is forced to trust Jackson Tate—the ruthless, enigmatic team leader whose deadly skills are matched only by the secrets he refuses to share.
As impossible missions push the team to its breaking point, friendships are forged in blood, enemies hide in plain sight, and the line between survival and sacrifice begins to blur. Because someone knows why Miki was chosen...and the truth could destroy everything.
With relentless action, pulse-pounding suspense, unforgettable characters, and a romance that burns brighter with every mission, RUSH is the explosive first novel in Eve Silver's award-winning The Game Trilogy.

• Deadly survival games
• Alien invasions
• High-stakes science fiction

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Adult author Silver (Body of Sin) makes her YA debut with a fast-paced story, first in The Game series, in which specially selected teens wage a secret war against invading aliens. Junior Miki Jones is the latest recruit, plucked from her normal existence to fight aliens hiding among humanity and help prepare the world for a full-scale incursion. It's on-the-job training, laid out in the framework of a giant game, with points given for various objectives and deducted for certain infractions. She quickly develops a love-hate relationship with her taciturn team leader, Jackson Tate, and the more Miki learns about the "game" she's caught up in, the higher the stakes become. Silver expertly intertwines Miki's real life and missions, providing an exciting contrast as things get increasingly complicated. The gradual unveiling of answers, with Miki relentlessly pressing her teammates for information, occasionally gets frustrating and repetitive, but the payoff as Silver reveals the true extent of the premise and its implications is worth it. The result is a science fiction adventure that'll leave fans demanding the next installment. Ages 14 up.
