About this listen
From James Dashner, author of the number-one New York Times best-selling Maze Runner series, comes The Game of Lives, the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts.
Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael’s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life.
The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine - Kaine’s master plan - has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box - if Michael can figure out who his friends really are.
And don't miss The Maze Runner movie and its sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, from Twentieth Century Fox!
Praise for the Mortality Doctrine series:
“Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking ‘what is real.’” (io9.com)
“Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner’s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.” (MTV.com)
“A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.” (Christian Science Monitor)

Story
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn't on the passenger manifest.

Some cryptic words wake college student Jess Ballard from a terrifying dream into an even more terrifying reality.

Seemed a bit rushed.
Title says it all. Other than that, it's a great story line. A perfect plot for the conspiracy theorist.

Very good Book and Audio
For starters, the over all book, audio, and storyline were above my standards. I cannot sit down and normally read a book however This made it more then easy to get my AR points for the nine weeks. The audio was great and I could speed it up pretty quickly and still being able to understand it. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed the series and would like to keep up with it.

Great teen fiction
I think this is a great teen fiction trilogy. Good characters and just enough intrigue to keep you invested to the end. I think the story could have been developed a bit more and the character development was so/so but overall enjoyable if you have a kid interested in sci-fi
