Savage Island
“Calling All Heroes! Come to Savage Island, and show the world your courage!
Billionaire Jules Van Allan, whose children were killed in a drive-by shooting, has sent a challenge to all the brave men of the world. Throughout human history, men have proved their courage by fighting hand-to-hand. On Savage Island, combatants will be paid five thousand dollars for every day they stay alive, and a hundred thousand dollars for every kill, while their fights are broadcast to the world.
James Grayson has come to Savage Island to revive his failing career as a sportscaster and TV talk-show celebrity, by becoming the announcer for this deadly new sport. On the day the first combatants are released onto the Island to fight for their lives, Van Allan's old enemy, Los Angeles District Attorney John Savage, announces his campaign for governor of California.
James Grayson teams up with his rival and co-anchor, the enigmatic Lucy Tran, to discover the real reasons behind Savage Island.

A page-turning blend of a (semi) voluntary Battle Royale situation, reality TV gone mad, and a deeper mystery, this is a great read!
