Endgame: The Complete Fugitive Archives

Endgame: The Fugitive Archives

by James Frey, Andrew Eiden (Reading), Laura Heisler (Reading)

A companion to the New York Times bestselling Endgame series, The Complete Fugitive Archives is a collection of prequel novellas about a forbidden love that threatens Endgame in post-World War II Germany.

It's 1948, and World War II has just ended. Berlin is in pieces, torn apart by bullets, bombs, and bloodshed. But a particular scientist has survived--one with vital knowledge of an ancient weapon. When Endgame spies learn of the news, Boone, a Cahokian, and Ariadne, a Minoan, are each sent undercover to find the scientist amid the snowy rubble. But when their paths intertwine, the last thing they expect is to let their guards down and work together. With the line between enemy and ally blurred, the success of their mission--and the fate of the world--may be at stake.

Because this is Endgame.

And only one of them can win.

Originally published as three individual ebook novellas, the Fugitive Archives are now together in one print volume.

Genres: Fiction, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Novella

Hands Down .. That's the Best of the Prequel Novellas of the Endgame Saga...

[Erica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes! All of the yeses! I loved this story but I am beyond sad that the "Endgame" stories are all over. I loved this final installment so much. It was great to dive back into this world on last time. As always, I am left wanting more.

The third novella to come from the Endgame series adds a unique story that asks, what if two Players were sent on a quest and their lives became intertwined? A fun approach to the series but to be released after "Rules of the Game" was a bit challenging to read knowing ultimately what happens in the future. The novella, set after World War II, introduces us to new characters, new locations, and new tales. Still filled with the same suspense and action as James Frey's other works, it was still enjoyable to read. Since the pace of the novella seemed too quick, in my opinion, it was hard to connect with any of the other characters besides the Players because of how quickly they came and went from the story. The rushed ending and the ultimate sacrifice at the end are cumulative to my rating of the novella.

4/5 stars


Arguably, probably, my favorite book in this series and in this universe. The ending felt a bit rushed (when does it not in these books...) but I loved the themes in this story; it felt more fleshed out than in the other books.

Better than the Zero Line Chronicles, but still leaves something to be desired.
