GAMELAND Episodes 1-2 (S. W. Tanpepper's GAMELAND #1-2)

This title contains two episodes (1 and 2); other episodes available separately

SERIES DESCRIPTION:
A group of tech-savvy teenagers breaks into Long Island's Gameland, a formerly militarized wasteland that was, for years, abandoned to the Infected Undead before being reclaimed by a government-sponsored company interested in merging virtual reality and survival gaming into a single seamless entertainment package. But while breaking into The Game turns out to be a lot easier than they could ever have imagined, breaking out is one hell of a killer.

EPISODE 1: Deep Into The Game
Jessie and her gang of game jackers discover a way to break into Gameland, but it requires the assistance of outsider Jake Espinosa. His inclusion raises tensions within the group, particularly between Jessie and her boyfriend, Kelly. After a nearly-fatal accident during preparation, emotions run dangerously high, but it only makes them all the more determined to succeed. What they don't know is that one of them has a secret reason for going, and it doesn't involve any of them returning any time soon.

EPISODE TWO: Failsafe
Jessie and Kelly clash after one of their group gets stranded among the Infected Undead, prompting Kelly to make a rash decision which will ultimately deliver the hackers into the hands of those who would turn them all into mindless players in The Game.

Combined length approximately 100,000 words (roughly 370 pages)

ALSO INCLUDED: special sneak peek of the beginning of EPISODE THREE
