Game Over (The MindWar Trilogy) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
This time, there’s no escape from The Realm. The MindWar Realm is a computerized world created by a deranged terrorist named Kurodar. Built through a link between Kurodar’s mind and a network of supercomputers, The Realm is a pathway through which the madman can project himself into any computer system on the planet. Twice before, Rick Dial has entered the Realm as a Mind Warrior and come back alive. But now, something has gone terribly wrong. A connection has formed in Rick’s brain that sends him hurtling into The Realm without his consent—and brings the Realm’s monsters into the Real World. As Kurodar works to turn Rick’s brain to his own purposes, Rick’s waking and sleeping life is ravaged by terrors he never imagined. Rick knows he has no choice but to face The Realm’s final and most powerful protector. But can Rick destroy MindWar without destroying himself and the people he loves?

I've been reading Andrew Klavan's books since "The Last Thing I remember" (the first of his "Homelanders" series) and he's always delivered excellent work. The "Mindwar" trilogy is no exception. I read the first of this trilogy in about two days (I am a super fast reader) and loved it! Then I read "Hostage Run" (book 2) in two days. The story got even better!! And finally, I got "Game Over" this week and I read it in one sitting over the course of 7 hours. I couldn't put it down!!I love how Andrew Klavan puts in great moments within the craziness of the plot. Moments in which the characters pause and talk about real emotions. And I love that Andrew Klavan puts in truth from the Bible. It's so wonderfully refreshing and encouraging. Rick Dial (the main character in "Mindwar") has a couple of wonderful scenes with his Mom where she encourages him to trust God and not his brain. Good advice! Now, every time I do something stupid, I say to myself 'Don't trust your brain!' :)This book is a wonderful finish to an epic and exciting trilogy! A must read!!
The trilogy is a worthy successor to Klavan's previous young people's fiction - the plot lines and characters develop and grow, surprises lurk around every corner, and though this is a cliche the books really are page turners; from the young disillusioned mind's first entry into an ugly mind, to the somewhat Potter-esque finish, a very fine work. I hope to see more from Klavan and to see these fine works rendered in visual media.
Rick Dial is back in this pulse pounding read from thriller writer, Andrew Klavan. The walls between The Realm and RL are fracturing, and Rick is compromised. Ever since the last battle, his brain has been linked to Kurodar's, and in his dreams Kurodar finds his way into RL.Will Rick be able to stop him, and save Favian and Mariel--or will they be trapped in the Realm as it comes crashing down?The conclusion to Andrew Klavan's thrilling Mindwar Trilogy had me hanging on to the last, wondering if Rick would be strong enough for the final blow.I really liked how we got to see more of Molly and who she is and why Rick is so drawn to her calming spirit.Rick is a discerning hero, always thinking of others and what he can do. I loved how he because a symbol of hope to his friends in the Realm. I like how his passion for right and wrong, has grown, yet he is still compassionate.Overall, a wonderful read, well written and action packed to the end. Rick Dial is an admirable hero, he has grown into a man of conviction and strength, with a strong faith. A terrific conclusion to the trilogy. I would definitely recommend this read!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.

Game Over is an exciting fast paced conclusion to a great trilogy. I'm a little sad that the series is over, but I loved it all the way through. I plan to read through this series again in the future, I really enjoyed it.Rick is losing control of his ability to separate real life from The Realm. (The Realm is a computer world that Rick can enter, but things done there can affect real life. Think the Matrix, but different) He has gone into the Realm so many times that his mind had become hard wired to it and Rick finds himself fading between the two worlds. In the Realm his is pitted against Kurodar, a man that is pure evil and controls the Realm.While in the Realm Rick has to fight off snakes, harpies, bear soldiers and more. Twists and turns are common place in this high octane ride. This book would work as a stand alone book, but it will make more sense and you'll enjoy it more if you read the whole trilogy.This is one wild ride, I loved it and plan to read it again.Five Stars.
This was a really good book. I fell in love with the characters, well not the evil Kurodar but still. I think the author brings a great and creepy world to life in this book. This is the third book of the trilogy, but you can read it as a stand alone but will want to go back and read them all in order. I thought it was great either way.*I would like to thank BookLook Bloggers for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.MY FULL REVIEWS:http://melissa413readsalot.blogspot.com/2016/02/game-over-by-andrew-klavan.htmlhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1530388521
