Tom Clancy's Net Force: The Deadliest Game

The virtual Dominion of Sarxos is the most popular wargame on the Net. But something sinister is going on. Some players' computers are destroyed by burglars. Another player is attacked and beaten. One thing is certain--someone in the Dominion of Sarxos is taking the game very seriously. Net Force Explorers Megan O'Malley and Leif Anderson are asked to investigate. They play the game and know the world. But nothing can prepare them for the danger when the real game begins.

To prove his innocence, they have to delve into his past as a Net Force agent -- to the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of his wife four years earlier. The Explorers must use every resource at their disposal to sift out the truth from the lies -- and to fight for the life of the man who taught them everything there is to know about courage and honor...
