Review
"I enjoy the works of Mr. Tanpepper and this latest book -- GAMELAND -- continues the excellent tradition of books he is writing.... Zombies, government conspiracy, Computer Game companies out for a profit, teenage friends all rolled into one great story."
-- Michael N. Guerini (from GAMELAND Episodes 1-8)
"I was not certain if I was going to take a gamble and commit to all 8 episodes...but the ending of this story has swayed me to saying YES. The ending was very intense and full of action. Once I started reading I raced thru this story in just two days."
-- David Dalton (from GAMELAND Episode 1: Deep Into The Game)
SERIES DESCRIPTION:
In the center of Long Island's forbidden wasteland, overseen by a powerful corporation known as Arc Properties, is GAMELAND, a massive virtual reality arcade where the rich and privileged act out their brutal fantasies. Using cybernetic links and holographic setups, Operators pit their Undead Players against each other in a high stakes game of violence, money and power, while the poor are left to watch the horrifying and powerfully addictive contests on State-controlled media streams.
Volunteering to become a Player is illegal, but the promise of fame and money can be a powerful lure, despite the ultimate sacrifice. Sometimes, the motivation is a lot simpler: revenge.
First published monthly from May through December 2012 in digital format, all episodes and omnibus editions are now also available in print. In addition to individual episodes, multi-episode packages are available in electronic format. Full series completely revised and updated on February 7, 2013
