Book details
Virtual Amy (Replica #21)
Description
Andy disappears after warning Amy that they have both been implanted with computer chips, prompting her discovery that a computer game inhabited by sinister creatures allows Amy's thoughts and memories to be downloaded. Amy fears the organization is monitoring her every move. That’s what Andy tells her — before he disappears. He says they’ve both been implanted with a chip. Is there anywhere Amy can hide? The answer seems to lie in a computer game. A game into which Amy downloads her consciousness. A game in which fantastic creatures and terrifying dangers lurk at every turn. A game that Amy suspects is being played in real life . . . by someone with sinister intentions. Amy must get to the end of the game — ahead of whoever’s trying to finish her off.
