Sibyl, an AI, controls the game, and the game is the world. Game characters are brought into the game and fight for their lives. Where do the characters come from? Ekko and Syl among other characters live weird lives in the video world. The reader can change the story's outcome based on choices made at game intervals, but the flow of the game is already programmed. An interesting story concept. The writing and organization are clear. The symbolism in the novel adds a possible level of curiosity to the reader. The story brings to mind the Tron movies. ( ) Once again Derek has given us a world like no other, a world run by artificial intelligence known as Sibyl. Enter Ekko Everlasting as our unlikely hero thrust into this world to not only save it but also those on earth by playing in a game called No Life where each battle is more brutal then the last. Not only does Derek write such vivid descriptions of the people and the battles but he offers the readers a chance to interact with the game and Ekko. From the moment you open this book you are transported to Elisium and the game and before you know it you are at the end. There is not a slow spot in the book and I cannot wait to see what else Derek comes up with. no reviews | add a review
