Bookroo's summary
Adam's world flips when his father vanishes, leaving him pursued by armed men and a ferocious dinosaur. As reality blurs with virtual gaming, Adam must unravel the mystery of his father's disappearance. Is the dinosaur a terrifying reality or a digital illusion? With danger at every turn, Adam races against time to uncover the truth. Can he survive this deadly game and find his father before it's too late? Dive into a thrilling adventure where the line between game and reality is perilously thin.
From the publisher
Adam’s father is developing cutting-edge research on virtual electronic game-playing when suddenly he disappears–and Adam finds himself being hunted by men with guns, and worse–a savage, man-eating dinosaur. Is the dinosaur real, or just part of the game? Where is his father? And what happens when your video game turns into real life?Steve Cole has combined gaming, dinosaurs, and a heart-pounding chase to create a suspenseful thriller that’s impossible to put down.
