A short prequel story set within the world of Endgame – the New York Times bestselling series and international multimedia phenomenon by James Frey.
Humanity rests on the shoulders of the Players representing the twelve lines. But there are some people out there who aren’t keen to let their fate be decided by twelve strangers. They are Endgame conspiracy theorists, people who fear and know of the coming Event and will stop at nothing to ruin Endgame in a desperate bid for survival. They call themselves The Zero Line, and they have one kill all of the living Players before Endgame even begins.
James Christopher Frey is an American writer and businessman. His first two books, A Million Little Pieces (2003) and My Friend Leonard (2005), were bestsellers marketed as memoirs. Large parts of the stories were later found to be exaggerated or fabricated, sparking a media controversy. His 2008 novel Bright Shiny Morning was also a bestseller. Frey is the founder and CEO of Full Fathom Five. A transmedia production company, FFF is responsible for the young adult adventure/science fiction series The Lorien Legacies of seven books written by Frey and others, under the collective pen name Pittacus Lore. Frey's first book of the series, I Am Number Four (2010), was made into a feature film by DreamWorks Pictures. He is also the CEO of NYXL, an esports organization based in New York.
Feed is the second Zero Line Chronicles novella. The line has been split into different squads after training for months, and each squad has been assigned to a line to send their invitation to the fake Calling. Mike is separated into a different squad than Mary and he's having a hard time letting go and being trusting towards her since she allegedly requested to be split from him. Mike, Kat, and Eugene are responsible for the Minoan and the Sumerian. They plan on luring the Players to the Olympics site in Munich, where they will hopefully convince the Players to not participate, or they will be forced to try and kill them. I really enjoyed this novella - it was fast paced, full of action, and I'm still fascinated by the concept of a group of people attempting to stop the Endgame and going against several highly trained killers. Can't wait to read the last novella.
