With the help of Emily whom he is secretly in love with for quite some time and the crazy computer specialist Victor, Nick manages to trick the game and expose an unbelievable story: An ingenious game developer who was betrayed by his competitors and destroyed in his existence created this game with the goal to eliminate his opponents before he committed suicide. This way, the game finally ends up for him at an early stage because the game (both inside and out) requires a perfect execution of all orders, allowing no resistance. Erebos knows that he has thrown the sleeping pills into a bin.
Nick doesn’t follow through with this task and has to realise that another player is supposed to control him. Harmless missions – until he is ordered to mix some sleeping pills in the tea of his anxious teacher. Nick receives orders in the game that have to be carried out in the real world. The virtual world becomes more realistic than the fictitious reality. Achievements and failures seem realistic, and the game surprisingly knows a lot about him. The game is fascinating as it reaches a level of stimulation and illusion that Nick hasn‘t experienced before. Nick and the other (yet) unaffected students don’t know what’s going on: None of the boys and girls who secretly pass on the DVDs talk about the game with non-players.īut then, Nick receives one of the popular DVDs and sinks into a perfectly generated online-adventure. Nick’s best friend no longer has time for him, attends the school completely tired out like many other classmates and misses their basketball training. In 1854 the two ships left from the British harbour to go missing after 2 years of travel, leaving behind mystery and unanswered questions.ġ70 years later, in 2014, the remains of Erebus were found by an underwater archaeological team, bringing up once more the interest for both her life and her last journey.An exceptional computer game tantalizes a group of young students in London. This very good result brought the possibility of a second mission: finding the “northern passage” above Canada.

The latter travel was extremely successful: a three years journey in and out of the freezing southern ice, full of science experiments, land mapped and botanic discoveries. Many teams from different countries tried to map the unfriendly Antarctic, mainly for scientific reasons, and the equally dangerous Arctic, looking for the commercially handy “northern passage” that everybody hoped could be found.Įrebus and her sister ship Terror ventured to both Arctic and Antarctic. Plot (with the same kind of spoilers you would find on the back cover of the book!)ĭuring the XIX century there were still plenty of areas of our world unknown to us. Palin wrote a bunch of books, following his travel documentaries, and in 2019 he released Erebus, the story of a ship, mixing up his love for history and travels.
