Warcross

For the millions who log in every day, Warcross isn't just a game — it's a way of life. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter tracking down Warcross players who bet illegally. To make some quick cash, she hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships — only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation. Instead of being arrested, she gets a call from the game's creator, elusive young billionaire Hideo Tanaka: he needs a spy inside this year's tournament to uncover a security problem. Whisked off to Tokyo, Emika soon uncovers a sinister plot with major consequences for the entire Warcross empire.

Emika Chen barely made it out of the Warcross Championships alive. Now that she knows the truth behind Hideo's new NeuroLink algorithm, she can no longer trust the one person she always looked up to. Determined to put a stop to his grim plans, Emika and the Phoenix Riders band together — only to find a new threat lurking on the neon-lit streets of Tokyo. Someone has put a bounty on Emika's head, and her sole chance for survival lies with Zero and the Blackcoats, whose protection comes at a price. Caught in a web of betrayal, with the future of free will at risk, just how far will Emika go to take down the man she loves?
