Kirkus Review
Set in the future where virtual reality is more fascinating
and incriminating than reality, Emika Chen is an 18 year-old bounty hunter who
ends up hacking her way into the fantasy world of Warcross. Now she must
navigate around dangerous criminals and help stop a hacker from gaining
complete control of the world.
Emika Chen is a young girl who is trying to survive day by
day in an unfair world. The only bright spot and glimmer of hope resides in the
coding and virtual reality of the game Warcross created by young coder, Hideo
Tanaka. Emika, like most protagonists, has had a troubling past, abandoned by
her mother and raised by her father until he is gone. She is left to tend to
the world on her own and does so by hacking her way through the virtual reality
and catching cyber criminals who gamble and make trades based on Warcross
games. In a desperate attempt to gain access to rent money, Emika finds herself
with a new job working for her idol, Hideo Tanaka. Emika must train hard in
Warcross while tracking down and uncovering a hacker who is trying to bring
ruin to the world. Along the way Emika grows close to her idol and learns interesting
facts about his life that very few know.
While it was a predictable plot with the unsung hero
protagonist who falls head over heels in love with the dreamy millionaire,
there were many twists and turns that cause the reader to wonder what is going
to happen next.
