The Eye of Minds: Book 1: The Eye of Minds

            The Eye of Minds, by James Dashner, author of the Maze Runner series, is a great Sci-Fi book that any gamer should read. It takes place in a world where virtual reality has been invented and the grand net of games is called the VirtNet. Michael is a gamer, and like most gamers he spends most of his time on the VirtNet. He has made his way through the ranks so quickly that some might call him the next Gunnar Skale, the most famous gamer in the world. But Gunnar Skale has disappeared, and someone named Kaine is trapping people in the VirtNet and torturing them. VNS, VirtNet Security, has been watching Michael and want him to help capture Kaine.

            The Eye of Minds is very well written, and it has a very interesting plot twist at the end. Subtle hints as to what happens are scattered like breadcrumbs throughout the book, and not many people will notice them their first time reading it. I like this as it supplies re-read value. The next book, The Rule of Thoughts, comes out in the fall of 2014.
