The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down Warcross players who bet on the game illegally. But the bounty-hunting world is a competitive one, and survival has not been easy. To make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships--only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation. <p/> Convinced she's going to be arrested, Emika is shocked when instead she gets a call from the game's creator, the elusive young billionaire Hideo Tanaka, with an irresistible offer. He needs a spy on the inside of this year's tournament in order to uncover a security problem . . . and he wants Emika for the job. With no time to lose, Emika's whisked off to Tokyo and thrust into a world of fame and fortune that she's only dreamed of. But soon her investigation uncovers a sinister plot, with major consequences for the entire Warcross empire. <p/> In this sci-fi thriller, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Marie Lu conjures an immersive, exhilarating world where choosing who to trust may be the biggest gamble of all. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>Warcross</i> <br>A <i>New York Times </i>Bestseller<br>An Amazon Editor's Favorite YA Book for Fall 2017 <br><b>An Amazon <b>September</b> Best of the Month Pick -- YA/Teens<br><b>An Amazon Best YA Book of 2017<br></b>A <i>Kirkus </i>Best Teen Book of 2017<br></b>A <i>Publishers Weekly </i>Best YA Book of 2017</b><br> <b>A Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2017<br>A <i>Boston Globe</i> Best YA Book of 2017</b><br> <b>A <i>POPSUGAR</i> Best YA Book of 2017</b><br> <b>A <i>Paste </i>Magazine Best YA Book of 2017</b><br> <b>A <i>Bustle</i> Best YA Book of 2017<br>A 2018 YALSA Teens' Top Ten Pick </b> <p/>"<b>A</b> <b>vibrant, action-packed shot of adrenaline</b>.
