Fantasy & SciFi
A strange, foreign world. Mysterious judges with capricious rules. Thousands of gamers find themselves split into factions and pitted against each other at the whim of an unknown higher power, with no idea how they got there or why they were chosen. Dying in this world hurts, but it's not the end: dead players always respawn to fight again.
Echo, with his extensive knowledge of fighting, armor, and weapons, has all the makings of a great leader. The ragtag recruits fighting for him under the less-than-threatening name "Society of Pinprick Enthusiasts" become the bane of the opposing factions, sowing terror in their wake. But this game won't be won in straightforward skirmishes. The squad will have to forge pacts with their own faction, the judges, and even their enemies. Each day brings new twists, new rules, and new ways to play, and a step that seemed to be in the right direction might suddenly become a fatal mistake.
Brute force and bravado won't be enough for Echo to carve his way to the top and stay there. He will have to lead his squad through mistakes, good fortune, victory, and defeat in his quest to secure his position.

The "slides" concept is kind of weird. It jumpcuit from scene to scene, witch is disorienting, while sometimes not explaining it adequately. At other times it witholds information at stupid times. Ex: at one point the MC hands a weapon to his companion, whithout saying what type of weapon it is. Just to reveal it a few slides later without it beeing an interesting plot point. It puts you off and makes it hard to imerse one-self in the book.Aside from that the book is fairly good.
