Tour: The Last Game by Lance S Taylor


Book Tour!
The Last Game 
by: Lance S. Taylor

Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: Feb 4, 2021



Summary: Seventeen-year-old Cael is a bridger, someone whose job consists on saving people who get trapped in the Bridge, the ethereal space between the real world and VirtuaNet, the world’s leading online game. His high genetic compatibility with the online world allows him to bridge, but it comes at a price. Any injury his character sustains in the game, he will suffer in the real world.

Cael is also committed to reform a society that forces blind adherence to dissonant values in exchange for a comfortable existence. But this commitment exacts a heavy toll on Cael, a declining client base and a starving family.

So just when Cael is ready to forsake his beliefs and risk his soul in order to save his family, an influential young woman in need of someone who’d risk his life in VirtuaNet, offers him the opportunity of a lifetime. Wealth beyond his wildest dreams and social influence to implement the needed reforms.

But some things are too good to be true.






EXCERPT:

When the pilot started the plane, she hesitated for a second and almost told him to stop, that she wanted to get out. What her father had told her pounded through her mind. That for all its importance and haughty title, for all the appeal the government tried to bestow upon it, the capital city Wessex was nothing but a repository of crime-prone refugees from the Unification. People who, no matter what, the Chairman would not have been able to civilize. People of a nascent terrorist movement who would kidnap her for ransom and soon cause a civil war in the political powder keg that was the capital. That no one in their right mind would visit that wretched city unless they absolutely had to.

As the jet took off, the young woman gazed upon the ash that Yellowstone had brought upon the land. The radiated rivers that made up the free lands of the Rim and the poisonous smoke rising from the country’s many Eugenex generators. She took a deep breath and projected a

hologram through her smartwatch. She looked one last time at the hologram of the young man who she thought … who she knew would help her find her brother. At the bridger who was her last hope. Her family’s last hope.

The world’s last hope.

Cael Cavanaugh.


About the Author: Lance S. Taylor is the pseudonym of an author who preferred books to toys as a toddler and was already writing short stories in grade school. Soon, he discovered anime and video games, especially JRPGs, which led him to write original scenarios that he still hopes will get adapted into a Tales series videogame. He’s been always creating worlds of his own, for others to leap into. He lives in a tropical paradise, where he spends his time deciding which of his many ideas gets written into a novel and creating characters whom you’ll get to know and care about as if they were your lifelong friends.
