Contender: the champion. Taran Matharu. 2022.

Cade Carter is fighting for Planet Earth.

He survived round two but the game is far from over.

By order of the alien masterminds behind the games - the Pantheon - Cade and his friends must war against the Greys, a humanoid race who have far surpassed humans in technology on their home planet. In this attempt to move up the leaderboard, Cade discovers a game-changing revelation: THE PANTHEON HAS A WEAKNESS.

With the right artefacts scavenged and a heavy dose of courage and luck, Cade has exactly one chance to end its tyranny for ever. But if he fails, the lives of his friends - and Earth itself - will be destroyed?

WILL IT BE GAME OVER?
