A deadly underground game might just be altering reality itself in this all-new adventure set in the world of the hit Rabbits podcast.
It's an average work day. You've been wrapped up in a task, and you check the clock when you come up for air—4:44 p.m. You check your email, and 44 unread messages have built up. With a shock, you realize the date is April 4—4/4. And when you get in your car to drive home, your odometer reads 44,444.
Coincidence? Or have you just seen the edge of a rabbit hole?
Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses the entire world as its canvas.
Since the game started in 1959, ten iterations have appeared and nine winners have been declared. The identities of these winners are unknown.
So is their reward, which is whispered to be NSA or CIA recruitment, vast wealth, immortality, or perhaps even the key to the secrets of the universe itself.
But the deeper you get, the more dangerous the game becomes. Players have died in the past—and the body count is rising.
And now the eleventh round is about to begin.
Enter K—a Rabbits obsessive who has been trying to find a way into the game for years. That path opens when K is approached by billionaire Alan Scarpio, rumored to be the winner of the sixth iteration. Scarpio says that something has gone wrong with the game and that K needs to fix it before Eleven starts, or the whole world will pay the price.
Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing.
Two weeks after that, K blows the deadline: Eleven begins.
And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake.
"Seemingly benign coincidences become clues to a mind-bending scavenger hunt in Miles's outstanding debut technothriller...Miles masterfully combines mystery, danger, and scientific theory to bring the game to life until readers are just as caught up in searching for the next clue as the characters themselves. It's a wild ride and it proves impossible to put down." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A twisty, timey-wimey roller coaster that morphs seamlessly from treasure hunt to conspiracy thriller to escape room." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Rabbits is an addictive puzzle box of a book that'll have you obsessing over every little detail. Do not start this if you have plans that day—you'll just end up canceling them." - Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse
"Imagine the world's greatest gamers invented their own wild, lunatic conspiracy theory...only to discover it might be ancient, possibly true enough to kill them, and dangerous enough to rewrite the code of the world. That's Rabbits: brilliant, breathless, and full of madness. Terry Miles makes you feel like you're the one playing the game...and facing the consequences if you lose!" - Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and Red Hands
"A fascinating blend of paranoia and plausibility, Rabbits takes gaming to the next level. This ambitious and intricate novel will have you looking over your shoulder—and questioning the results of your next Google search." - Alexandra Oliva, author of Forget Me Not
