520    "An incredible new voice in sci-fi. The kind of writer who
       keeps you turning the pages long into the night."--A.G. 
       Riddle, bestselling author of The Atlantis Gene and 
       Pandemic Ready Player One meets Gladiator in this high-
       octane thriller that mixes black-ops espionage with fight-
       to-the-death combat in the arena. In the near future, the 
       line between entertainment and brutality has blurred. 
       Mysterious billionaire Cameron Crayton is a household name
       from televised spectacles in which prison inmates fight to
       the death, but his old shows pale in comparison to his new
       event, The Crucible, a gladiatorial tournament anyone can 
       enter. The winner is promised unimaginable wealth and 
       glory . . . if they're able to survive a series of 
       globally broadcast fight-to-the-death matches with 
       medieval weaponry against the world's most fearsome 
       fighters. Former black-ops operative Mark Wei wants 
       nothing more than to be left alone to drink after 
       sacrificing everything--including his family--in America's
       covert Cold War II against China, a war won largely 
       because of him. But there are rumors that Crayton's 
       background and business dealings involve shady connections
       to foreign powers, and soon Mark is convinced to 
       reluctantly dust off his training, strap on a sword and 
       armor, and enter the tournament arena as an undercover 
       agent. It's the most dangerous assignment he's ever been 
       given, and Mark quickly finds himself not just fighting 
       for his life in the arena against trained killers, but 
       racing to expose The Crucible's founder's secrets while 
       navigating a viral phenomenon in which the stakes are 
       literally life and death. . . .
