Each year, a down-and-out America looks to the Gauntlet games for sheer spectacle and -- for one lucky state -- a better chance at survival. In 2023, former-police-detective-turned-paramedic Lara Evans is poised to enter the punishing endurance competition, determined to bring glory and a major economic boost back home to Oregon.But treacherous tests of physical and mental prowess -- and a pack of cutthroat rivals -- are far from the greatest obstacles Lara faces. Saving a hit man's victim has made her a target, and the murder of a fellow contestant has branded her a suspect. Yet the games must go on. And with a nation's eyes -- and a killer's crosshairs -- focused on her every move, Lara will have to think faster, hit harder, and risk far more than any player ever has in order to outrun the jaws of defeat and outgun the specter of death.

The other character was Paul, a government employee. At first his story doesn’t seem to have any relation to Lara’s. But anybody who’s read more than a handful of books in their lifetime knows that two seemingly-unrelated stories will almost always converge by the end. So it was pretty obvious from the outset how Paul was going to fit into the story, simply because there weren’t that many other possible connections to make. The predictability wasn’t the main problem for me, though. My problem was that I didn’t like Paul and I didn’t particularly enjoy reading about him. His priorities were horrible, his motives were shallow, and his decisions were dumb. There were mitigating circumstances, and perhaps we were expected to sympathize with him or at least understand him, but I just couldn’t do it. ( )
