Until now.When a player offers Hank fame and fortune, it's too good to pass up. To succeed, Hank must fight harder than ever before, pushing past the game's safety protocols. His life is on the line, and when he's captured, he knows he's in too deep. Can he escape? And who can he trust?Meanwhile, Hank's father also escapes into VR, where he can relive his military past. But Hank's dad has problems, caused by his experiences in the virtual battlefields of the future, and sometimes he has difficulty separating reality from his memories of virtual conflict. In real life, there's conflict between father and son - could they be heading for a collision in VR? Join Hank in the game-if you dare.From the author:CHEATC0DE is a perfect read for fans of cyberpunk and technothrillers - it's a page-turning fast-moving story, and like Ready Player One, will be enjoyed by those who are interested in role playing games, LitRPG, and speculative ideas about technology. It is not necessary to be a gamer or to have played role playing games to enjoy this book. In CHEATC0DE, while technology and VR are important to the plot, the characters are what drives the story forward.The sequel to CHEATC0DE is called The Trust.
