Publisher's Synopsis
Ready to play the game of your life? Could you stay ahead of a sociopathic hunter being sent your co-ordinates every three hours? Jo Warrington is about to live this nightmare. On a Melbourne city street she is plunged into a game devised by people from the future. Her choices - play or die. As Jo flees a remorseless Hunter, her watching audience places bets on how long she will survive and awards points for ingenuity. The points allow her to ask questions, but when the answer to one reveals her father's recent death to have been no accident, she resolves to play the game on her own terms. Desperately searching for clues as the assassin closes in, Jo is tempted when her father's sexy equipment salesman turns up asking her to trust him, but Richard seems to have his own agenda. Can Jo track down her father's murderers before she herself is killed? And what of her viewers from the future? Will they be satisfied with anything less than her death? A lot can happen in five days. If you enjoyed The Hunger Games and crave the adrenaline of an action-packed thriller, then take Play or Die to a comfy chair. It'll be a while before you leave. This is a novel for young adults and old.
