{"product_id":"2940157187484","title":"The Players","description":"In the near dystopian future...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe west coast has left the United States of America. Fierce and libertarian, Nevada piggybacked along with the secession led by California. Then after exploiting the collective political muscle of its neighbors, unlike Washington and Oregon, Nevada refused to join the new country of Pacifica. Instead, the rebels formed their own independent nation-state of NEVADALAND and decided to do things their own way. This landlocked apocalypse in progress finds itself stuck between two warring enemy nations. In NEVADALAND, local tribalism reigns as each remote city struggles to generate revenue and enforce law. It's all about money and rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Volume 1 THE PLAYERS, Diesel Duran graduates from her lowly status as a ward of the state and enters into adulthood. Except in NEVADALAND, that means she must prepare to battle to the death in The Zone for the entertainment of home viewers. As a female, she's not even supposed to be in The Games, but the system refuses to acknowledge a data entry mistake made many years earlier and forces her to fight men much older and stronger than herself. During her training, she learns how to cheat from Cheng, to fight from Bull, and to hide from Walker. And while these new skills certainly help, she's got unique talents of her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart Hunger Games, part Running Man, part Mad Max, and part X-Files the NEVADALAND series offers non-stop adventure, bizarre creatures, dystopian conspiracies, impending doom, and an ongoing alien mystery.
