A teenage boy, Robin, buys a second hand computer game from a rather strange shop with an even stranger proprietor. He installs the game, rushing through the signing-up process and finds he has been allocated a role-playing character at the lowest end of what appears to be a very nasty cyber society. Robin finds that in order to progress his status within the game his character has to perform very menial tasks and to deal with some not-so-nice characters amongst his fellow role players. It is not long before he gets beaten up quite badly in the game by one of these players and finds the next morning, in the real world, his body aches all over and he has a split lip! And so dawns the realisation that this perhaps is more than just a game.....

I found 'Game of Aeons' to be a very readable story that kept my attention and I read the book in one sitting! There is an enjoyable mix of humour and wisdom sprinkled throughout that will get the reader thinking about the human condition and the meaning of reality.

I highly recommend this book.
