Keeper of the Kingdom

by H. J. Ralles

Overview

In 2540AD, the Kingdom of Zaul is an inhospitable world controlled by Cybergon ‘Protectors’ and ruled by ‘The Keeper’. Humans are ‘Worker’ slaves, eliminated without thought. Thank goodness this is just a computer game – or is it? For Matt, the Kingdom of Zaul becomes all too real when his computer jams and he is sucked into the game. Now he is trapped, hunted by the Protectors and hiding among the Workers to survive. Matt must use his knowledge of computers and technology to free the people of Zaul and return to his own world. Keeper of the Kingdom is a gripping tale of technology out of control.

Editorial Reviews

“Aimed at young adults, this is ingenious enough to appeal powerfully to adults who wonder how far this entire computer age can go. Ralles knows how to pace her story—the action moves in sharp chase-and destroy scenes as Commanders hunt down the dangerous young boy. The pages literally brim with action and computer possibilities and discoveries. The characters are memorable, particularly the very human 101. And that ending . . . is brilliant. A compelling read from the exciting beginning to just as exciting ending.” The Book Reader

“Keeper of the Kingdom is a must-read for children interested in computers and computer games. From the first page to the last there is no relief from the suspense and tension. H.J. Ralles has captivated anyone with a fascination for computer games, and has found a way to connect computer-literate children to reading.” JoAn Martin, Review of Texas Books

“Keeper of the Kingdom is a fun read for younger readers as well as adults. It embodies one lesson for us all. Never, ever, let your computer do all your thinking!” Jo Rogers, Myshelf.com
