Earlier today, USA Today released the first chapter of “The Eye of Minds”, the first book in James Dashner’s new series Mortality Doctrine that will be released October 8th. You can read the excerpt here.
If this is the first you are hearing about this new series, here is the first book’s synopsis:
The Eye of Minds, the first book in Dashner’s new series, The Mortality Doctrine, centers on Michael, a gamer who spends
the majority of his time in the addictive virtual-reality system known as the VirtNet. The VirtNet offers anyone with
money the chance to live in the fantasy world of their choosing — no risk, and if you’re an adept enough hacker, no rules.
But not all rules were made to be broken. One gamer is taking the others hostage inside of the VirtNet, and the
government turns to Michael to track this hacker down. Will he be able to survive off the VirtNet grid? Or will reality be lost to him forever?
I was honestly blown away by this excerpt and cannot wait for the book to come out. What did you think? Make sure to tell us, as well as the rest of the Internet, in the comments below.
