The Game Within
The idea has always been to escape. That desire to be somebody we’re not is strong in humans. We like to pretend. Sure, as we age we get more sophisticated about hiding it, but make no mistake, we never tire of make-believe. The World Within is make-believe elevated to its highest imagining. A different place where you can be a different person.

Brilliant game designer Marcus Helkar created something spectacular. A place so enticing, so consuming, players forgot about real life. It wasn't playing a game. It was living in a different world.
Until the locks were removed. Until the game changed the rules.
Now Marcus must stop the game he created before it becomes too real. And he can only do it from within the game itself. If he can't correct the problem soon enough he'll never be able to get out and neither will anybody else.

This book should be a TV production or a movie
This is an exciting story that holds the readers interest from start to finish. The story is unique, and it would be a natural for a SyFy television production or a movie. My hope is that Clyde Wonder will take this story to as large an audience as possible. Current CGI techniques could bring this amazing story to life. Please create more of this World Within fantasy. My mind is slipping away to a distant time and place now. Hopefully, I will see you later.

This book was surprising considering it was the result of the freshman writer's first effort. While it was formulaic (as are the vast majority of books in the genre), there were definitely new ideas developed within the old framework. It absolutely kept my interest from start to finish, and I found myself staying awake past my bedtime to keep reading. I look forward to Mr. Wonder's next book with great anticipation!
