Rick dial is faced with an impossible choice: save the life of his best friend Molly . . . Or save the free world.
Rick Dial’s career as a superstar quarterback ended when a car accident left him unable to walk. But his uncanny gaming ability caught the attention of a secret government organization trying to stop a high-tech terrorist attack on America. He’s been to the fantastical cyber world called the MindWar Realm . . . and returned to Real Life victorious.
But the stakes have just gone up. Another attack is imminent, and Rick is the only one who can stop it. How can he, though, when terrorists have kidnapped his best friend Molly and are threatening to kill her if Rick returns to the Realm?
As Molly uses every resource of mind and body to outwit her brutal captors, Rick races against time inside a nightmare video game where a fate worse than death may be waiting for him.
Hundreds of miles apart, both will have to test the power of their faith and the strength of their spirits. They’re being forced to a moment of sacrifice . . . one that could cost them everything.

From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up—Rick Dial continues his quest to bring down the secret government organization behind the Mindwar Realm and save his family, his Realm friends, and now his ex-girlfriend Molly, who has been taken hostage by Miss Ferris and her secret agent lackeys. With the potential to be an action-packed page-turner, this second installment of the "Mindwar" trilogy (Thomas Nelson) unfortunately falls short of expections. Uneven writing filled with unecessarily detailed descriptions and wordy exposition makes this volume a laborious read. The poorly conceived Virtual Reality world, which was introduced in the previous volume, reveals a lack of knowledge of video games and advanced technology. While the addition of a female protagonist, Molly, brings a new element to the story, there is little appeal to her character. Finally, the continued use of a variety of foreigners as the baddies, including Islamist and Russian terrorists, creates an unrealistic and negative global viewpoint. VERDICT A compelling premise is not enough to save this lackluster sequel.—Eden Grey, Kenton County Public Library, KY

Thompson I am, as most of my friends know, not easily impressed by today's 'Christian' fiction. However, Klavan is a master at weaving realistic Christian faith into his YA novels. He accomplishes this by letting the action and the characters and the conflict be the primary means of both entertainment and illustration of truth. Even though the whole story is a futuristic fantasy of Virtual and Real life, so many important and true ideas are addressed: love, sacrifice, growing into adult faith, prayer, meaning in suffering, hard choices, sorting out conflicting duties, trust. The list could continue, but it is all so effortless. Because it is all happening to the characters and not the intrusion of narrator (author) voice, I can imagine any teen regardless of religious or irreligious background enjoying the story. I highly recommend this book and the first one in the series to anyone who enjoys good entertainment. You might not get all the gaming references but it won't matter one bit. You will still love the story. I can't wait to see who Mariel is in the last book.

A terrorist has created a mind world in order to carry out his planned cyber attack on the U.S. Opposed to them is a secret American government organization working to thwart the planned attack. Rick Dial was a star quarterback when his career was cut short due to injuries suffered in an auto accident. Unable to walk his gaming instincts were called to the attention of the government agency who then recruited him. Rick had already been trained and sent into the mind world as was described in a previous novel. Information is gathered about another planned attack from mind world and Rick is the only one that is available to go back in and thwart it. The terrorists, as a means of stopping Rick kidnap his best friend Molly and threaten to kill her if he does not stop his actions in the mind world. The plight Molly is in and her attempts to escape are delineated along side of Rick's actions to prevent the attack on the U.S. The novel is, of course, science fiction, but is highly imaginative and logical based on the facts presented. It is very well done as an adventure story and keeps the reader glued to the book. The story is planned to be continued in the next book in the series with the ending of this crafted to lead logically into the next.
