Synopsis

On a small Caribbean island a woman joins the newest reality TV show: 24/7. For Dana Kirsten, winning the $2 million prize could mean saving her child's life. But while the country is watching her every move, Dana is entering a fight for her own life - and a conflict that will shake the world... Vassa Island has been rigged with remote control cameras, a surveillance satellite system, and the most powerful television transmitter ever created. And that's not all. For a small fee, anyone with a computer can access any of the 638 cameras live, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week - and vote as twelve carefully chosen contestants struggle with each other and the island. But only fifteen minutes into the first live broadcast, the show's host and crew die a ghastly death. The shell-shocked contestants hear a voice echoing from hidden speakers: "I am Control, and this has just become the ultimate reality show." Suddenly the voice is hurtling contestants through a maze of traps and macabre, individually designed puzzles. And when the worldwide audience votes one person off the island, it isn't just a loss... it's death. With every day unveiling a new terror, and as one man from the outside races to crack the Vassa mystery, the only real way to win 24/7 is to find Control. And stop him. But Control has plans beyond the desert island, spinning a dark plot that could hold the entire world hostage in a grip of death.

I really liked this book. Constant suspance, twists and turns. It's basically about a reality show gone wrong. 12 contestants on an island, watched 24/7 by people all over the world. But as the game is about to begin, the crew dies and the real show starts. It draws you in from the very beginning. T......more

Jim Brown has the ability to keep you on the edge of your seat and never gives anything away, so you just have to keep reading to find out what happens. I love his style of writing and you can see his personality seeping through in some of his phrases and discriptions. If you like suspense, action and......more

Goodreads review by Alan on July 18, 2013

A bit difficult to stomach at times as I'm not a fan of made up reality tv, though that was just the concept, the book itself was very good, was able to read it in 2 days (on metro, bus and at bedtime). Not my regular type of book but the writer is able to keep the pace moving at all times, the lang......more
