About This Book
THE HUNGER GAMES, THE RUNNING MAN, and other stories depict futures where 'gladiators' must battle to the death to entertain the masses.
How about dueling not by old-fashioned physical combat, but through Virtual Reality computer games?
Winner makes a boatload of cash.
Loser dies.
While crime bosses, politicians, and the idle rich watch . . . and place their bets.
In the near future, private detective, in the tradition of Dashiell Hammet's Sam Space and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, Crain Dalton goes looking for a doctor's missing son. The trail takes him to the world of underground gambling joints, suburban prostitutes who'll act out your most perverted fantasies, and illegal VR battles to the death.
In The Wrong Bettor we see where the economic decay of the recession, combined with high tech advances, is taking us -- and it's not pretty.
The Wrong Bettor originally appeared in the ARCHON 7 PROGRAM BOOK, July 1983.
