Dream Park is a futuristic fantasy theme park where players experience live-action role-playing campaigns enhanced by holograms, actors, and cutting-edge VR technology — as close to truly living an adventure as technology allows. All is fun and games until a security guard is murdered, a valuable research property is stolen, and all evidence points to someone inside the current game. Park security chief Alex Griffin must join the campaign to find the killer — and finds unexpected meaning in the games he helps protect.

All is fun and games until a security guard is murdered, valuable research is stolen, and all evidence points to someone inside the current game. Park security chief Alex Griffin joins the campaign to find the killer.


Dream Park is about to launch its greatest Game — the California Voodoo Game — with fortunes, reputations, and gaming careers on the line. The most advanced software package ever invented is set to be tested. But one of the players is a murderer with an agenda far worse than winning. Only security chief Alex Griffin and Game Master Tony McWhirter suspect the depth of the treachery — and the Game must go on.

It is 2085. The first live-action role-playing game conducted on the Moon is about to begin, watched by more people than any sporting event in history. Close protection specialist Scotty Griffin is assigned to shepherd the teenage heir to the Republic of Kikaya through the ultimate gaming experience. When terrorists kidnap the players mid-game, a dozen brilliant, resourceful gamers must solve puzzles and outwit armed killers — playing the game their entire lives prepared them for, for real.
