It's personal. It's the end game.  No one sees Gin's plans, which is what has made him one of the most successful killers Earth has conceived.  Now Kaiden will find out if his friends, teachers, and the support staff are capable of stopping the killer from leaving him braindead. Sometimes you don’t come out of the Animus alive. Will Kaiden and Chief be able to figure a place to hide when the Animus itself is the killing weapon? Will the Professor be able to overcome a new threat? Will Wolfson survive going up against Gin Sonny? This is the test of not a student but everyone around him he holds dear. You don't become the best of the best by staying alive. In the Animus, you are closer to perfection with each death you suffer. Kaiden Jericho would rather skip the death part, thank you very much. Includes special note from co-author Michael Anderle.
