Jake Wingfoot III doesn’t know he is living in a hologram. Not until a gamer named Ghost reveals the truth: Jake’s world is just energy and information projected from the Singe, and within the Singe humanity is fighting a losing war against an enemy known only as Nemesis. Ghost claims to be a military agent sent by the Director of Vector Academy to recruit Dybsy, the video gaming legend and eSports champion. Jake is Dybsy. By day, Jake navigates high school with his only friend, Lucy; by night, Dybsy navigates multiplayer online battle arenas in the spotlight of thousands of fans. But after Ghost’s revelation, Jake’s days and nights are changed forever. Jake is pulled from the hologram and into the Singe, where he is enlisted to fight a digital war. If the war is lost, humanity will fall, so Jake must find out how good he really is . . .
