Welcome to a world where, livestreamed to millions, prisoners fight like gladiators for the ultimate prize - their freedom.

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. FIGHT FOR LOVE. WELCOME TO THE KILLING GROUND.

America's new Hunger Games - Sunday Times

So good. This one is from the heart - Stephen King

Brutal, thrilling, devastating and beautiful - The Times

Enter a world where, livestreamed to millions, prisoners fight like gladiators for the ultimate prize - their freedom.

Fan-favourite female stars Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker are teammates and lovers. Thurwar is nearing the end of her time on the circuit, free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. But as protestors clash with the baying crowds and the programme's corporate owners stack the odds against her - will the price be simply too high?

So compelling - right up to the final, fatal blow - Sunday Telegraph

Vividly imaginative and startling - Elle

The new maestro of dystopian lit - Wired
