Michael completed the Path, and the truth he discovered about Kaine is more complex—and more terrifying—than anyone at VirtNet Security could have anticipated.
Kaine is a Tangent, a computer program that has become sentient. And Michael’s completing the Path was the first stage in turning Kaine’s master plan, the Mortality Doctrine, into a reality.
The Mortality Doctrine will populate Earth entirely with human bodies harboring Tangent minds. Any gamer who sinks into the VirtNet risks coming out with a Tangent intelligence in control of their body. The VNS would rather pretend the world is perfectly safe, but Michael and his friends know that the takeover has already begun. And if they don’t stop Kaine soon, it will be game over for humanity.

Per Michael e i suoi amici è il momento della resa dei conti all'interno del VirtNet. Il gioco a cui stavano giocando è ormai diventato più reale di qualsiasi realtà. Solo poche settimane prima, percorrere il Sentiero ha significato per loro vivere un'esperienza virtuale indotta e per alcuni aspetti addirittura divertente. Il VirtNet, con la sua combinazione di tecnologia avveniristica e sofisticati programmi di gaming, li ha però avviluppati in un'oppressiva e ineludibile riproduzione del reale, e ora Michael sa che la sua stessa vita è a rischio: il VirtNet si è manifestato come un mondo dalle estreme conseguenze e ormai il gioco sta per finire. Kaine e i Tangenti, i programmi di intelligenza artificiale che professano la Dottrina della Mortalità e il piano visionario che ne guida le azioni, stanno per realizzare il loro disegno. Se ciò dovesse succedere, il mondo cadrebbe sotto una spietata dominazione digitale e solo Michael è in grado di scongiurare questo pericolo, ma a patto di conoscere veramente gli scopi di chi gli sta attorno.

Michael è un giocatore e, come la maggior parte dei giocatori, spende più tempo nel VirtNet che nel mondo reale. Il VirtNet è una totale immersione nel virtuale, e crea dipendenza. Grazie alla tecnologia, chiunque abbia un bel po' di soldi può sperimentare mondi fantastici, rischiare la vita senza essere mai in pericolo, o semplicemente spassarsela con i propri amici virtuali. E più si hanno doti da hacker, maggiore è il divertimento. Eppure anche in questa realtà alternativa esistono delle regole, e infrangerle può avere conseguenze estreme. Qualcuno però pensa non sia necessario seguirle: un giocatore anonimo è andato oltre ogni limite e tiene in ostaggio altri giocatori nel VirtNet. Gli effetti nel mondo reale sono devastanti: tutti gli ostaggi infatti finiscono per essere dichiarati cerebralmente morti. Il governo sa che per acciuffare un hacker ci vuole un altro hacker. Il prescelto è Michael, ma il rischio è enorme. Se accetta la sfida, Michael sa che dovrà infrangere a sua volta le regole del VirtNet e affrontare pericoli e predatori che una mente umana non può neanche immaginare. E sa anche che il confine tra gioco e realtà potrebbe essere cancellato per sempre.

THE GAME OF LIVES (THE MORTALI - DASHNER JAMES - Random USA

Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael’s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life.
The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine—Kaine’s master plan—has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box—ifMichael can figure out who his friends really are.

Thomas sa di non potersi fidare delle menti malvagie che fanno parte della C.A.T.T.I.V.O., l'organizzazione che continua a tenere sotto scacco lui e gli altri Radurai, i sopravvissuti al Labirinto. Il tempo delle menzogne è finito, gli ripetono, i loro ricordi sono stati ripristinati e le tremende Prove cui sono stati sottoposti sono terminate. Sostengono di aver raccolto tutti i dati di cui avevano bisogno, ma di dover fare ancora affidamento su di loro per un'ultima missione: tocca ai Radurai trovare una cura per l'Eruzione, lo spietato morbo che conduce alla follia. Ma accade qualcosa che nessuno degli uomini della C.A.T.T.I.V.O. poteva prevedere: i ricordi di Thomas si spingono molto più lontano di quanto possano anche solo sospettare, fino alla verità. Il ragazzo adesso ha la conferma: non può credere a una sola parola di quello che dicono. E i suoi ricordi gli rivelano che dovrà fare molta attenzione, se vuole sopravvivere, perché la verità è più pericolosa della menzogna.

What if every time you made a choice that had a significant consequence, a new, alternate reality was created—the life that would’ve been? What if those new Realities were in danger? What if it were up to you to save all the realities—and in turn, the entire universe?

Atticus Higginbottom, a.k.a. Tick, was living a regular life until he learned about the 13 Realities. After the near catastrophe in the Fourth Reality, things have changed even more. Tick’s being homeschooled in the fields of science, trying to master the mysterious Chi’karda. Just as he begins to make progress, Mistress Jane reappears, hideously scarred and much more powerful. She has tapped into the universe’s darkest secret to create the Blade of Shattered Hope, and in her quest to attain a Utopian Reality for the future of mankind, she’s ready to risk billions of lives—including those of Tick’s parents and sisters—to set her plan in motion. Tick and his friends are faced with their most dangerous task yet. And they must not fail; for if they do, the entire universe could cease to exist.
