The stakes are higher than ever in The Challenger, the second book in the Contender YA trilogy by the New York Times best-selling author of the Summoner series, Taran Matharu.

The first battle is over, but the Game is just beginning....

Cade Carter and his friends have survived the qualifying round of the mysterious overlords' twisted games, decimated by the loss of so many of their comrades during the fight. But they have no time to mourn, for the next round of trials is about to begin.

When the group discovers that their next foe will be even more ferocious than the last, Cade leads them on a quest out into their strange new world to find anything that might give them an edge. But what they find in the wilds could prove to be even more dangerous than the impending battle....

The stakes are higher than ever in this thrilling sequel to The Chosen.

A must read, perfectly crafted masterpiece by Taran Matharu.

As a fan of the unique nature and untapped expanse that is the Summoner series, Taran Matharu shows he has true vision.

This series has me hooked from start to finish on a non stop thrillride.

the narrator Pat Young brings this story to life as you truly feel the voice of the characters and the emotions they feel through the narrative.

the use of historical mysterious events isn't unique to the fantasy genre but I have never seen it used so effectively.

Thats not all!

The use of mental and fisical illnesses, Racism, class systems of upper and lower class citizens, Slavery, Brain over brawn, skill over power, experience and courage in the face of true fear and uncertainty. the use of time jumps between past and present and the ever present ticking of the clock makes you feel the urgency!

This is something special. The Contender series is amazing.

Its like the Hunger Games, Jurassic Park and the Odyssey all got thrown into a blender and then perfectly mixed to create something new and extraordinary that stands all on its own.

A Captivating Masterpiece.
