The Deadliest Game is the story of two talented teenage programmers, Net Force Explorers Leif Anderson and Megan O'Malley, who find themselves drawn into a high-stakes conflict over the online game The Dominion of Sarxos. A series of burglaries and threats carried out in the real world but sourced back to conflicts within the game draw Megan and Leif into a web of danger well outside their frame of adolescent reference.
