Tune into Terror
(1996)(Book 17 in the Strange Matter series)
A novel by Johnny Ray Barnes Jr and Marty M Engle
Welcome to the next level of terror.
Nexus. Virtual reality with a bite. An on-line video game that has taken the world by storm. Its fanatical players call it the most incredible battle simulation ever created. Billy Keen doesn't think so. He wishes he had never played it.
After Billy won the largest Nexus tournament ever staged on-line, strange things started happening. From his television changing channels by itself, to his computer turning on and off all hours of the night. Billy was annoyed at first, by the simple electronic malfunctions. Then they grew worse, from microwave mishaps to a terrifying elevator plunge.
Seeking help from his video gaming friends at the Fairfield University Computer Science Center, Billy discovers the true nature of his technological terror. Now, in the labyrinthian halls of the Fairfield University Computer Science building, Billy is playing Nexus for real - against a horrifying opponent that could not possibly exist.
And is Billy isn't careful, the game could end with a fatal error.
Genre: Children's Fiction
