"October, 1982. Forced to move to the quiet seaside town of Tasker Bay by her mother, the only thing on high schooler Andi's mind is saving up enough money to return to her old stomping grounds in Silicon Valley. Her self-taught skills with all things electronic make her a perfect fit for a job at the dingy local arcade where she can tune out from life and bankroll her eventual escape. Pining over the distant and aloof Andi is Ro, the son of Tasker Bay's sheriff, who begins spending more time at the arcade. Despite promising herself she wouldn't get attached to anyone in town, Andi finds herself opening up to the thoughtful, like-minded Ro. When Polybius--a new bleeding-edge game of unknown origin arrives--the shop is suddenly overwhelmed with players fighting for time on the machine. Seemingly overnight, a virus-like epidemic grips Tasker Bay while a violent coastal storm rolls in, isolating it from the outside world. People begin experiencing fits of anger, paranoia, and hallucinations--no one can be trusted"--

Thrilling story

Great story. The author doesn't really have a grip on the young adult culture in my opinion, or maybe it's just that I don't... But the story is good, especially after the first introductory pages of the characters.

Good Read

This book was a good read. It was not as thrilling as I would have liked, but it did have a good suspense level here and there.

A first time book from a screen-writer feels like an empty action plot

This book is billed as horror, but it's a government conspiracy gone wrong causing a town to fall apart while two awkward teens try to sort it all out. I found the characters uninteresting and cliche, the pacing adequate and the book overall relatively predictable.

Poor story development

Pretty weak

A Fun, 80s-themed, Read

I found myself really enjoying Polybuis story, setting, and characters. It's a fun read that keeps moving forward at a pace that held my attention through the whole book. Definitely recommend!
