Push

"Thrilling action, addictive romance—a mind-bending rush of a read!"— Pittacus Lore, author of the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series.

Fans of The 5th Wave will devour Push, the riveting second installment in Eve Silver's the Game trilogy about teens pulled in and out of an alternate reality where battling aliens is more than a game—it's life and death.

Miki's always found comfort in rules. But when the rules of the Game change on the night of her high school Halloween dance, everyone Miki's ever loved is threatened, including her dad, her best friend, and her boyfriend. Can Miki find the strength to push through even as her world comes crumbling down?

The Game trilogy by bestselling and award-winning author Eve Silver promises science fiction and gaming fans pulse-pounding romance at a breakneck pace.

Break the rules or die.

Miki Jones lives life by her own strict set of rules, to keep control, to keep the gray fog of grief at bay. Then she's pulled into the Game, where she—and her team—will die unless she follows a new set of rules: those set by the mysterious Committee.

But rules don't guarantee safety. People are dying. The rules are unraveling. And Miki knows she's being watched, uncertain if it's the Drau or someone—something—else. Forced to make impossible choices, Miki begins to see the Committee in a glaring new light.

And through it all, she wishes she could confide in her best friend, Carly—about the Game and her feelings for Jackson—but that would put everyone she loves in danger. And Carly isn't speaking to her anyway.

Then the boundary between the Game and Miki's real life is breached, threatening her friends and family directly. And there's nothing in the rules that can save them now.

Praise for Rush: “The intricate, multilayered plot is inventive, twining hostile alien takeover around uncertainty about Miki’s and Jackson’s true heritage and their growing romance....Mind candy for those teen readers who love the thrill of the game.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Rush is the perfect title for Eve Silver’s fantastic YA debut. A Rush of excitement, a Rush of danger, of action, of romance, of hot boys with dark secrets. I loved it!” - Michelle Rowen, national bestselling author

“Whether teens read this for the romance or the science fiction, they’ll finish eager for the second installment of the Game series.” - Booklist

“For readers of The Hunger Games and Divergent, Rush follows in a similar new tradition, with electric high-action scenes, a world in peril (this time, by the threat of aliens), and amorphous morality in a broken society, though with a little less emotional heft. The brazenness that makes Miki nearly barely likeable at the opening of the book morphs into bravery, giving her the makings of a true hero.” - Globe and Mail (Toronto)

“Rush is a fast-paced blend of science fiction and gaming, filled with hot guys who don’t follow the rules.” - Connected (Canada)

“Thrilling action and addictive romance-a mind-bending rush of a read!” - Pittacus Lore, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series

“The action is nonstop. Both the love story and the war story are compelling and readers who read the book for one reason may find themselves enjoying the other almost without meaning to. The cliffhanger ending will have readers chomping at the bit for the next book in the series.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

“Rush is different from most YA offerings today, making it all the more exciting. At first, readers may be skeptical about the plot; quickly, however, the story and the world deepen, and you’ll fall head over heels in love. Miki and Jackson are the real highlight: Miki is realistic, brave and loyal and the mysterious Jackson will keep readers entranced. The addictive plot, fresh setting and amazing characters create a novel you’ll stay up late to finish.” - Romantic Times

“Within one chapter, I found myself hooked. The stakes are high, the action is consistent, and there is never too much revealed at once; Silver has a wonderful talent with suspense. . . . Highly Recommended.” - CM Magazine

“Smart and original, Rush is an action-packed ride with plenty of heart.” - New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong

PRAISE FOR PUSH: “This second volume has up-to-the-minute appeal for gamers who like a byte of romance with their sci-fi.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Readers will love watching Miki grow into herself. She continues to be the highlight of the series; she’s impossible not to like. The thrilling plot, mystery and especially the characters, work to create a novel that readers will once again breathlessly stay up all night to finish.” - Romantic Times
