About this listen
One game. $20,000 on the line. No extra lives.
Charlie once dominated the leaderboard. Now he’s on the verge of losing everything that matters most. He’s thousands of dollars in debt, working for a tyrannical boss, and watching his relationship fall apart.
BattleTheatre, a new game Charlie and his friends have been waiting years to play, is finally launching with a tournament for a chance to win twenty thousand dollars—more than enough money to turn everything around.
All he has to do is log in at midnight with the friends he used to play with every night.
But real life doesn’t have a pause button. His boss hands him an impossible weekend assignment, a bookie is demanding to be paid, and his girlfriend is counting on him to be at her singing gig the same night as the tournament.
As midnight approaches and the pressure outside the game builds, Charlie must decide if chasing the win is worth risking his job, his relationship, and his future.
Midnight Multiplayer is a funny, heartfelt novel about friendship and second chances. It feels like logging back in with the friends you grew up gaming with — except this time, it’s not just the game on the line.
Perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
