Leap Into Books Giveaway Hop



Let's celebrate Leap Day, a day that only comes around every four years!  And what better way to celebrate than by giving away the kind of book that also doesn't come along very often?

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads

Title:  BZRK
Author:  Michael Grant
Series:  BZRK
Publisher:  EgmontUSA
Publication Date:  February 28, 2012


WARNING:  POSSESSION OF THIS MATERIAL COULD PUT YOU IN GRAVE DANGER.  IT CONTAINS REVELATIONS ABOUT A SECRET HIGH-STAKES GAME -- SOME MIGHT CALL IT A WAR -- FOR CONTROL OF YOUR BRAIN.

It isn't a conflict that makes the front page of the newspaper or is blogged about all over the internet.  But it is out there -- it is happening.  And now Michael Grant -- the best-selling author -- has risked his life to expose the battle taking place.  On one side:  Charles and Benjamin Armstrong's Nexus Humanus.  On the other:  a group of teen hackers who call themselves BZRK.

Twenty-first century warfare that takes place on the macro and micro level for the highest stakes:  humanity's free will.  It's time to choose sides.

Set in the near future, a conspiracy is afoot to create a perfect and perfectly controlled world. The Armstrong Fancy Gift Corporation is a front for the conjoined Armstrong twins, Charles and Benjamin, and the plot to create their own version of utopia.

A shadowy guerilla group known as BZRK form a nascent resistance movement. Both sides develop sophisticated nanotechnology to achieve their goals:

-The Armstrong twins develop the nanobot, a stealth device that latches onto the brains of unsuspecting citizens.
-BZRK's DNA-derived biots are deployed to search out and destroy the insidious bots. If biots are destroyed, the brain cells of their DNA-donor also die. Hence the name BZRK.


The second book in this new series from Michael Grant, author of the best-selling Gone series, is due out on October 9th of this year.
