Summary : Cade Carter is fighting for Planet Earth. He survived round two but the game is far from over. By order of the alien masterminds behind the games-the Pantheon- Cade and his friends must war against the Greys, a humanoid race who have far surpassed humans in technology on their home planet. In this attempt to move up the leaderboard, Cade discovers a game-changing relevation: the Pantheon has a weakness. With the right artefacts scavenged and a heavy dose of courage and luck, Cade has exactly one chance to end its tyranny for ever. But if he fails, the lives of his friends-and Planet Earth itself-will be destroyed. Will it be game over?
