Signs of Life — Saul Tanpepper
Welcome to GAMELAND. Everyone's dying to get in.
But Arc is determined to launch a new twist on their most popular product, The Game, and they'll let nothing - and no one - stand in the way. So when the outbreak sirens begin to sound, Jessie must make a crucial decision-- cower in the relative safety of her home or return to the one place she most fears. And face the man who can either save them all or send them all into damnation.
An excerpt from Signs of Life:
The water pelts her upturned eyes, yet she does not blink. It pools into the hollows beneath and around the blackened orbs until the solid gray of the sky bursts into brilliant prisms of color, vibrant lakes and oceans of molten light. And if she blinks, it spills out in a kaleidoscope of tears.
If she could only blink.
The water turns the darkness away from this dead, empty world and makes it bright once more.
Yes, the rain is good. The rain is as close to life as she can come.
Jessie's Game: Signs of Life is a 120,000 word novel from the world of GAMELAND. It follows Season One.
For ages 16 and older.
What is S.W. Tanpepper's GAMELAND
The highly-rated epic cyberpunk series was first released in monthly episodes between May and December 2012. It follows the exploits of six young adults as they break into the Long Island arcade hoping for a rare glimpse of the undead survivors of a decades' old outbreak. But while breaking in was easy, getting back out is a killer.
6 Hackers, 1 Game... 10,000 Undead.Everyone's addicted to Survivalist, a live-action, virtual reality television show featuring highlights from Arc Entertainment's The Game. Filmed in Gameland, where cybernetically controlled zombies do battle in the middle of a Long Island wasteland, it's to die for. If you're rich enough, you can buy your way in as an Operator. If you're desperate enough, you can volunteer to become one of the Undead Players. But while getting in might be easy, getting back out is a killer.
Someone's hacking Jessie Daniels's brain implant. But the prime suspect, a former gamer friend, is supposed to be dead. Dead and reanimated. Jessie thinks he may still be alive.
What if she's wrong?
Still recovering from a reckless break-in to the zombie-populated live-action virtual reality arcade where it all began, Jessie struggles to hold onto her health... and her sanity. Her best friend now roams the island as one of the soulless, people close to Jessie are disappearing, and her own husband is acting suspiciously. Network lapses are occurring with greater frequency. It's only a matter of time before Arc Enterprises, the company meant to protect them, becomes their greatest threat.
