What happens in the game, stays in the game . . .
Rabbits is a secret, dangerous and sometimes fatal underground game. The rewards for winning are unclear, but there are rumours of money, CIA recruitment or even immortality. Or it might unlock the universe’s greatest secrets. But everyone knows that the deeper you get, the more deadly the game becomes – and the body count is rising. Since the game first started, ten iterations have taken place . . . and the eleventh round is about to begin.
K can’t get enough of the game and has been trying to find a way in for years. Then Alan Scarpio, reclusive billionaire and alleged Rabbits winner, shows up out of nowhere. And he charges K with a desperate mission. Something has gone badly wrong with the game and K needs to fix it – before Eleven starts – or the world will pay the price.
Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing.
Two weeks after that Eleven begins, so K blows the deadline.
And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake.
Rabbits by Terry Miles is an electrifying, compulsive read based on the hit podcast from the Public Radio Alliance – perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Black Mirror.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Seemingly benign coincidences become clues to a mind-bending scavenger hunt in Miles's outstanding debut technothriller, set in the world of his podcast of the same name. Protagonist K's first experience with the underground, alternate reality game known as Rabbits resulted in a friend's death—and nearly his own as well. But when his parents died soon thereafter, gaming became his escape, and Rabbits his obsession. The game, which is shrouded in secrecy, sends players chasing after wild conspiracies—and it's said to be manipulated by "something out there watching from somewhere else, staring into our world from an infinite darkness." Now a new round is starting and a billionaire rumored to be one of the few-ever winners reaches out to K for help, telling him that the game is broken and, if it goes unfixed, it could spell the apocalypse. K and his girlfriend, Chloe, must enter the game, following the clues to fix whatever's gone wrong. But as an increasing number of players die or disappear, will K and Chloe be next? Miles masterfully combines mystery, danger, and scientific theory to bring the game to life until readers are just as caught up in searching for the next clue as the characters themselves. It's a wild ride and it proves impossible to put down.
