Born in Poland, Adam Wodyk is a science fiction and fantasy addict. He has always been interested in writing and creating fictional worlds as literature was always his first and primary passion. His favorite author is C.S. Lewis. "That Hideous Strength" by Lewis was one of the books that ignited Adam Wodyk's desire to write a sci-fi story.
"The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and dystopian stories such as "The Hunger Games" also had a huge impact on his writing. In 2020 he completed his first book in the dystopian genre: "The Dystopia Game", set in the futuristic world of the Seven Metropolises. Two other works – epic fantasy novels – the alternative versions of the same story, completed a few years ago, are waiting to be edited and translated. Adam Wodyk is also fascinated by movies and screenwriting. In his free time, he works on developing his novels and ideas and turning them into TV or web series projects.
"Boundlessly creative and entirely unique."—Self-Publishing Review
"A thrilling, white-knuckle ride..." —The Prairies Book Review
[This work contains the three The Dystopia Game parts, originally released in serialized form.]
The Emperial Metropolis is the scene of a dangerous game: teenage actors are used as toys in movies in which everything happens for real.
For Max Stranger, this means living in a trap. He never knows what might happen during his performance. Like other actors, he is sedated beforehand so that the filmmakers can turn on an artificial consciousness installed in a nanochip in his brain. The actors call this consciousness the Movie Character. When Max starts to play the role with his dormant mind, filmmakers send orders and impulses to the nanochip, forcing the Character to do everything that the script requires.
The worst scenario begins when Max and his girlfriend, Lara, are drawn by the ruthless autarch into a dangerous cinematographic experiment called the Seven Players series, which will be filmed in the outer mutant-infested wilderness and transmitted in real time on TV.
Death may be lurking at every turn out there. Anyone may die. Even the leading actor...
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner.
Previously published as Seven Players.
Reader Reviews
"This book is about a boy named Max who becomes an actor in a post-apocalyptic world. This Acting role becomes very controlling and demanding to the point of life and death. He finds himself in a love triangle with some shocking truths. The world he thinks he lives in might not actually be what he thinks it is."—Amazon Reviewer
"I love the "reality TV" idea and how it made me want to find out more how the book installment ends."—Amazon Reviewer
"Fast paced and feels like you're in the story! It is a post-apocalyptic, science fiction, and fantasy type of book, but it is unlike any other in its genre."—Amazon Reviewer
"This is quite a different but delightful read. A dystopian world, special nanochips and mutated creatures are some of the condiments of this catching novel."—Goodreads Reviewer
"It is reminiscent of themes surrounded by the political anarchy and royal entertainment from The Hunger Games, fused with the repercussions of succumbing to a transhumanist agenda through mind-control implants."—Goodreads Reviewer
"This book is a sci-fi, drama, and romance built into one and the way it's constructed is so fascinating with a surprise on every page so, it's sure tough to stop reading."—Amazon Reviewer
"A read experience that takes you along with the characters; danger, fear, and hope."—Amazon Reviewer
