NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR JOHN RINGO AND USA TODAY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR LYDIA SHERRER JOIN FORCES ON A NEW SF NOVEL OF ALIEN INVASION. Ender's Game meets Mean Girls meets Pokemon Go.

Lynn Raven may be the boss master of WarMonger 2050 with her online persona of "Larry the Snake," but when the CEO of Tsunami Entertainment personally asks her, as a favor, to beta test a new augmented reality game, she has to face her greatest fear: Going outside and dealing with, ugh, people.

As she becomes more immersed in the game, the stakes rise and so do the obstacles. Strife between teammates, a ruthless rival team, and these strange glitches that make it seem like the game algorithm (or maybe "game AI"?) has it in for her. Now she has to face a new fear: is she willing to step into the real to win the future she's always wanted?

What do you do when a game and real life merge?

      In a not-so-distant future, waves of novel viruses have pushed humanity toward virtual reality experiences and virtual environments. This is the world in which teenager Lynn has grown up, and she is a gamer extraordinaire. She even uses this skill to help her single mother pay the bills as a for-hire player in a popular game, WarMonger. Because the masculine world of gaming culture has not improved much, Lynn hides her identity and deals with comments from her friends about how girls can't play, even though she is a leader in WarMonger. She is asked by the owner and creator of WarMonger to beta test the next new VR game, TransDimensional Hunter, in which players walk around their city in VR, killing demons. She is ready to accept this honor and quickly proves that her skills transcend her body-conforming chair. But when people start to mysteriously die, and there are strange power outages around the country, there are hints that something about this new game is off. The futuristic world of the gamers and the game itself will interest sf readers.
