Win Condition
Synopsis
Enter the world of Char, where everything has a price and power is a game.
A global crypto token manipulated by wealthy magnates and sentient trading AI sorts the haves from the have-nots, squeezing its citizens and leaving them to fight over the remains.
Anyone can challenge the world order by competing in Char’s lethal gaming tournament, but predictably, the elites have the outcome rigged so that the winners join them or die.
When Arrow, a hacker and rags-to-riches gaming champion, and Sage, an exiled scion from the ruling class, are recruited by a disillusioned military general to tame the token for themselves, their victories bring turmoil and ruin to the citizens of Char.
To preserve their humanity and their lives, they must find a new way to play war.
WIN CONDITION is an action-packed sci-fi thriller where the oppressed fight to free themselves from the zero-sum games where only the ruthless survive. Will they succeed in changing the rules for survival, or will they perpetuate that which they hope to destroy?

Thrilling adventures in a fascinating sci-fi world of crypto, deadly gaming, and paradise
The book is a wild ride through a sci-fi world of crypto, deadly gaming where the haves and have-nots compete for their chance of survival. Absolutely fell in love with the characters, and would love to see a movie based on this exciting story.
Snow Crash meets The Hunger Games meets Ender’s Game
Wow! This imaginative book weaves together an ironic and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of capitalism. The author creates a futuristic techno-dystopia (for some) and a guilty-pleasure near-utopia (for others) with her elitist, oppressive crypto-economy and lethal, yet thrilling, tournaments. Win Condition is a combination of fast paced action, humor, and deeper reflections on power and control. I found this to be an engrossing and thought provoking audiobook with a narrator that brought characters and world to life. I definitely recommend this book!
