Rabbitsby Terry MilesA deadly underground game might just be altering reality itself in this all-new adventure set in the world of the hit Rabbits podcast.

“Imagine the world’s greatest gamers invented their own wild, lunatic conspiracy theory . . . only to discover it might be ancient, possibly true enough to kill them, and dangerous enough to rewrite the code of the world. That’s Rabbits: brilliant, breathless, and full of madness. Terry Miles makes you feel like you’re the one playing the game . . . and facing the consequences if you lose!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and Red Hands

I am in to technology and podcasts, so the idea of reading a book based on a podcast intrigued me. Thanks to  NetGalley and Random House Publishing Company-Ballantine for an advance review copy. What a book!

JENA’S REVIEW

Rabbits by Terry Miles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will be sharing my review on June 8, 2021 at https://www.jenabooks.com/category/pr…

“Win the game, save the world.” “Rabbits” is a conspiracy technothriller that throws the reader into the universe of underground computer gaming and culture. This game isn’t “Call of Duty” or “World of Warcraft”. Rabbits the game is an alternate reality game that is played in the real world.

“Rabbits” the book is a spin-off of the hit “Rabbits” podcast, both of which were created by Terry Miles. The podcast docudrama, rabbitspodcast.com, examines a mysterious and perhaps nefarious ancient game that may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. The book “Rabbits” covers a similar twisty, thriller tale, with different characters.

Have you ever noticed that frequently you happen to glance at the digital clock on your microwave- in my case it always reads 12:34 pm? Coincidence? That’s what happens to the main character named K. He and his intense gamer friends have heard of a mysterious game that reappeared in 1959. There are no CDs or app of the game known as “Rabbit” and there are no rules. Instead, players must find their own clues and connections, like a time on a clock, a movie that has vanished, or a symbol that reappears.

K. learns that there is a serious problem with the game that could affect the universe. He and his friends, there are many characters in this book, dedicate themselves to solving the game’s puzzle. Many sinister forces are against them, and this is a complex and highly engaging story. The reality in one chapter, could be totally changed in the following chapter. Fortunately, the author writes clearly and deftly and has created memorable and unique characters, which helps the reader navigate the complex worlds of this book.

“The door is open.” Are you ready for the wild ride that is “Rabbits”? I received an advance review copy from NetGalley and Random House Publishing Company-Ballantine. Thanks for the review copy. This is my honest review.
