The Omega Game is a suspenseful thriller, which will capture you from page one, and will not let you go, until you finish this book! I found this book absorbing and had no trouble keeping all of the characters straight. The book moved along, almost like a chess game!
The book starts out with 20 people waking up in a hotel on a lush tropical island without their memory intact of the previous 2-3 months. There aren't any phones or computers or any electronic devices in the hotel. No one knows how he or she got there or how he or she will leave. They are all given an envelope with 5 rules 1) is a player in the game, 2) The players must participate in the Game, 3) The players may agree to change the rules, 4) The players must obey the rules or forfeit, and 5) The winner of the Game is the last player who has not forfeited. The reader soon finds out that to forfeit means to die. But who are the killers? One of them, or someone unknown? Who will be next to die and who will win "the Game"? The reader soon finds out that the players are being watched when new envelopes with the new rules mysteriously appear when the players agree to change the rules. The reader follows the participants in the Game and how they must cope to survive. Who can be trusted?
Great thriller! This book was incredibly hard to put down and the ending will absolutely shock you!!!
