Arcadia

A Technothriller

"Plansky delivers...in this imaginative, pulse-pounding techno-thriller... Smooth prose and relatable characters are a plus. Michael Crichton fans will be pleased." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

For years, society has debated whether violent video games harm a player’s sanity.
But what if one was specifically designed to make you commit murder?

Tech journalist Desmond Lewis hasn’t been a hardcore gamer in years, but there’s something inexplicably addicting about Rogue Horizon, a VR survival horror beta given only to a select few. When Lewis begins suffering from violent dreams and disturbing hallucinations, he suspects the game may be linked to a series of unusual deaths across the United States.

Fearing he’s losing his mind, Lewis follows the trail of a conspiracy to a mysterious virtual reality amusement park north of Las Vegas, where getting played is about to take on a whole new meaning...

Swiftly-paced and relentlessly suspenseful, Arcadia is a psychological thrill-ride from start to finish.
