About this audiobook

Something is rotten in the state of the NutriStart Skills Academy ... With the discovery of a human head on the fringes of the school, children displaying symptoms of a bloody, unfamiliar contagion and a catastrophic malfunction in the site's security system, the NSA is about to experience a week that no amount of rebranding can conceal. As the academy descends into chaos, teacher Tom Rosen goes looking for answers – but when the real, the unreal and the surreal are indistinguishable, the truth can be difficult to recognise. One pupil, Gabriel Backer, may hold the key to saving the school from destroying itself and its students, except he has already been expelled. Not only that – he has disappeared down the rabbit-hole of ‘Alpha/Omega’, the world's largest VR role-playing game, filled with violent delights and unbridled debauchery. But as the game quickly sours, Gabriel will need to confront the real world he's been so desperate to avoid if he ever wants to escape ...
