![]() The plot has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, maybe, if you’re like me and not very quick on the uptake. ![]() Most of Wildcard focuses on Zero and what happened to him and what he and his group of ruffians intends to do to take down Hideo, which is actually quite fascinating and at times downright terrifying. Instead, we focus on the mystery introduced by the first book – that the hacker Zero is actually Hideo’s long-missing brother, Sasuke, and that Hideo intends to use the Neurolink to control people’s actions. Even though much of the book builds up the final, all-star Warcross game that ends the tournament, it’s never actually played. For starters, the most interesting thing about Warcross – which was, you know, the actual game of Warcross – is startlingly absent from its sequel. I enjoyed Wildcard just as much as I did Warcross, which was actually quite a bit, but I do think it didn’t live up to its own potential. ![]() ![]() Wildcard took the potential of the first book and…just…kind of…did something with it.ĭon’t get me wrong. ![]() Warcross introduced a sleek, semi-virtual world where an international competition of VR Capture the Flag is the setting for an intriguing mystery. ![]()
