About this ebook

Win the mission. Or die for real.


When Miki Jones throws herself into traffic to save a child, she expects to wake up in a hospital bed. Instead, she wakes up in the Game.


Dragged into a deadly alternate reality alongside four other teenagers, Miki is given a single impossible mission: survive brutal combat against alien creatures and save humanity—or never make it home again.


There are no second chances.


No respawns.


No quitting.


Every mission is real. Every death is permanent.


Completely untrained, Miki is forced to trust Jackson Tate—the ruthless, enigmatic team leader whose deadly skills are matched only by the secrets he refuses to share.


As impossible missions push the team to its breaking point, friendships are forged in blood, enemies hide in plain sight, and the line between survival and sacrifice begins to blur. Because someone knows why Miki was chosen...and the truth could destroy everything.


With relentless action, pulse-pounding suspense, unforgettable characters, and a romance that burns brighter with every mission, RUSH is the explosive first novel in Eve Silver's award-winning The Game Trilogy.


Perfect for readers who love:

• Deadly survival games

• Alien invasions

• High-stakes science fiction

• Found family

• Slow-burn romance

• Strong heroines

• Squad-based missions

• Virtual reality and alternate worlds

• Action-packed YA and crossover sci-fi

I was very drawn into the story. A very unique take on "time travel." I enjoyed the development of both the Female and Male main characters. And though the characters are young, there are real and relatable issues between them. Very believable tension between characters and within the main character ls themselves. It is on the faster side of pacing and brings you with the the disorienting "time travel" the characters experience. This book begs the question of the reader: is it more important to look after yourself, or to take care of others? Quite an enjoyable read.
