Mind Games by multi award winning author Teri Terry<br />
In a future world, life is tightly controlled by the all-powerful PareCo.<br />
Standing out from the crowd is dangerous, so misfit Luna hides her secrets<br />
carefully, not realising her own power. Unlike her friends and family,<br />
Luna has never been able to plug into Realtime, PareCo's virtual world,<br />
where almost everyone now lives their lives. So how do PareCo know<br />
about Luna, and why do they want her for their elite think tank?<br />
I found this book thoroughly absorbing and thought provoking, a<br />
real page turner. Who knows, some of the storyline may come true in the not too<br />
distant future… If you are a fan of the Dystopian genre, then this is certainly worth<br />
a read. Click on the link for more information about the author: Mind Games by Teri Terry<br />
