When gaming wiz Cy Orbick tops the World Saver leaderboard his whole world turns upside down. He finds himself in a real World Saver squadron, with the fate of a real world resting on his practiced fingers. Will Cy have the chops to save Planet Egreus? And can he solve that last clue from the game's bonus level, which hints of a nefarious plan to turn the World Saver squadron's gamers into cyborgs?
"For his debut, author Goldstein covers terrain that fans of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One will appreciate. Though instead of relying on pop culture references, Goldstein captures our attention with a genuine flair for the madcap ... What begins as a YA adventure becomes a stellar rumination on the individual's place in the world." --Kirkus Reviews
"Well-written and fast-paced, Cypris's story is a video game come to life, full of intrigue and adventure. The plot is fanciful but solid ... this is a well-rounded and engaging work." --BookLife Prize in Fiction
