Kira Jordan's family was brutally murdered many years ago while she huddled in the dark waiting for the killer to leave her home. The dark freaks her out, so waking up in a dark room feeling the aftereffects of a drug is confusing and makes her extremely angry -- until she hears someone else's breathing and realizes she is not alone. Kira starts asking questions of where she is and what she's doing here. All she learns is that she's a participant in a game, and she has 60 seconds to get to the next level with her partner -- or they will both die.

Rogan makes a choice to become part of the game instead of fending for his life in a maximum-security prison. He knows his chances of survival are slightly higher than the alternative. There's never been a female contestant in the game before, but Rogan works fast to gain Kira's trust, enough to get them out of level one and onto their journey of gaining freedom. If they complete all the tasks and win the game, they are free. However, there's more going on than meets the eye. Rogan's partner has psi abilities, which puts her in more danger, and his connection with the game makes him a target. Neither one of them can afford to lose the COUNTDOWN.

COUNTDOWN is a fast-paced futuristic thriller with many twists and turns. It will keep you guessing until the last page. A fantastic, quick read!
