Jessie's Game #1: Signs of Life
(2013)
Welcome to GAMELAND. Everyone's dying to get in. Someone is trying to hack Jessie Daniels's brain implant. The prime suspect? Micah Sandervol, a fellow gamer-turned-betrayer. Problem is, he's already dead- or he's supposed to be. Dead and reanimated. Jessie thinks he might not be after all.
For Jessie, a traumatized survivor of a reckless break-in to Long Island's Gameland, a VR arcade populated with Undead avatars, survival means taking it one day at a time. Her best friend now roams the island as one of the soulless, people close to Jessie are disappearing, and her own husband is acting suspiciously. Control lapses are occurring with greater frequency. It's only a matter of time before the implant network, meant to protect them, becomes their greatest vulnerability.
Arc Enterprises, the one entity with the power to fix everything, refuses to heed the warning signs. Instead, the company behind Reanimation and neuroleptic implant technologies, will let nothing stand in the way of their planned launch of a new twist on their most popular product: 'The Game'.
When the outbreak sirens begin to sound in her hometown, Jessie is forced to do the one thing she most dreads: return to Gameland and hope she can stop Micah.
