The entire gaming community is in awe of fourteen-year-old Reggie who can take
just minutes to destroy the bloodthirsty monster, ECHO-6, in the bestselling video
game, ECHO'S Revenge. Reggie can't wait to test himself against the game's new and
improved monster.

But there's a glitch in the new release. The manufacturer releases a live version of the
monster into the real world and now a 35-foot tall extreme predator clad in impenetrable
armor with the power to shape-shift and turn invisible is hunting down every elite
gamer who ever defeated it in previous versions. One by one, elite ECHO gamers are
disappearing. And now, ECHO-7 is after him.

Reggie fears that the monster will also go after his younger brother Jeremy who's been
steadily racking up plenty of monster-kill points himself. Determined to keep him safe,
Reggie hatches a plot to destroy the monster and save fellow gamers. But can he figure
out how to make his gaming instincts work in the real world?

Echo's Revenge delivers non-stop, adrenaline-pumping action with a hero who is learning
that it takes action to bridge the gap between fantasy and the real world--and that family
loyalty is sometimes the trickiest game of all.
