Team Defiance has gone through a lot of changes–Kali Ling became the first female team captain, and shortly after, the first team captain to buy the team. Now they need to get ready for next season’s RAGE tournaments.
Something mysterious has been hitting gaming news–high profile gaming teams from around the world are being invited to the secretive compound people have nicknamed ‘The Wall’. Kali thinks it has something to do with the drugs she’s campaigned so hard against, but when Team Defiance gets invited they are confronted with something that could change the professional gaming industry completely.
Team Defiance is in for a fight like never before, on more fronts than they realize.
Jennings has brought back her characters from Arena for a sequel that stands up just as well as the first installment. It’s a fun futuristic tale of what eSports could look like in the future, complete with realistic disregard for the well being of it’s stars. While Kali Ling occasionally has a few very odd crises of conscience, she’s a fun character. Entertaining and interesting book.
