Action, suspense and some romance all make up DOOMED. It's
an exciting read full of adrenaline that keeps you guessing
what will happen next and wondering just what you would do
if there was no electricity, no technology, basically our
lifestyles were over in the course of one day. Ask yourself,
would you open a Pandora's Box?
Tick, tock, tick, tock, the clock counts down and Pandora
races to beat it before it reaches zero and the end of the
world. Pandora is not having your typical seventeenth
birthday when she clicks a link in an email sent to her from
her father that she hasn't seen in years. Her favorite
online game is Pandora's Box. When she logs
onto it that day, it sets off a cascading whirlwind of
events that leaves Pandora and two of the hottest guys from
school, Theo and Eli, racing to beat the clock and save the
world.
Full of adventures, action and tension, DOOMED is a thrill
ride from the beginning. Pandora is a unique, audacious and
strong-spirited character, and my favorite of the two boys
was Theo by far. I guess I like them tall, dark and
brilliant. Deebs' ability to take a myth and spin it with a
modern take was incredible. The rich details and complex
storyline hook you from the start. In her article on Fresh
Fiction, Deebs explains how her in depth incorporation of
the different elements of the myth were worked into the
story and tells of her diligent research into how society
would handle a complete technological breakdown. DOOMED is a
fantastic read and I highly recommend it.
Pandora's just your average teen-glued to her cell phone and
laptop, surfing Facebook and e-mailing with her
friends-until the day her long-lost father sends her a link
to a mysterious site featuring twelve photos of her as a
child.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Pandora enters the
site, where she is prompted to play her favorite
virtual-reality game, Zero Day. This unleashes a global
computer virus that plunges the whole world into panic:
suddenly, there is no Internet. No cell phones. No
utilities, traffic lights, hospitals, law enforcement.
Pandora teams up with handsome stepbrothers Eli and Theo to
enter the virtual world of Zero Day. Simultaneously, she
continues to follow the photographs from her childhood in an
attempt to beat the game and track down her father-her one
key to saving the world as we know it.
Part The Matrix, part retelling of the Pandora myth,
Doomed has something for gaming fans, dystopian fans,
and romance fans alike.
