To be completely honest, I have not read many books along this genre - reality games/sci-fi - I was very curious, however, when I heard about it and read the description. Who will survive and who will become the real life victim of Echo-7? Can anyone be trusted? Both boys soon find out the other gamers are being kidnapped and that Echo-7 is a very real threat that will stop at nothing to capture all those that have played his game - only this is no game, but real life.

What Reggie doesn't know when he forges a parent signature on the permission form to join the group, is that his life was about to get a whole lot worse.Īfter a particularly explosive confrontation with their mother's boyfriend, Reggie and Jeremy decide to hit the road and go to their father's house to live. Reggie, the oldest of the brothers is a Master and invited to attend a focus group for the game. Those who survive are Masters and held in pretty high regard. Echo is a social game where everyone is known by a code name and they all come together to battle Echo through different stages and scenarios.
The only things that they have to rely on is one another - and the online video game Echo. Their mother is never around and is basically clueless as to what goes on with both boys and their father lives a long distance away and is not an active part of their lives. This is the story of two brothers who have grown up within a very unstable family, complete with an abusive, alcoholic caretaker - otherwise known as their mother's live-in boyfriend. Perhaps, even, a possibility within the near future.
With gaming and reality television such a wide-spread and all-encompassing issue in society today, Echo's Revenge is a tale that does not seem overly far-fetched. Imaginative, unique and extraordinarily creepy, Echo's Revenge is a book that will captivate a wide audience range of readers from the young to the young at heart.
