The Game Master Pushes Into the Top 20 on Amazon
Maidstone, Kent (PRWEB UK) 24 August 2016 -- British born debut author, Ian D. Copsey, has sailed into the Top 10 children’s humorous, action and adventure category on Amazon.com with his tale, "The Game Master," brushing shoulders with the BFG (well, perhaps he reached his ankles…) while Harry Potter is the wizard of the group.
Based in Maidstone, Kent, where he grew up and attended North Borough Junior school, Ian wanted to create a fun filled tale that also highlighted the challenges of growing up within a community that can have diverse opinions. At the centre of the story are two boys, who were arguing over who was the best gamer when they encountered an enigmatic, but jovial Japanese shopkeeper. He was to be their Game Master in this virtual reality video game, The Game of Life, which had no game controls. Little did the boys know, this was a game that would change their lives and the lives of their friends... and enemies... forever.
"Oh! This game is no ordinary game," the Game Master explained. "It reads your thoughts, seeks out your weaknesses to provide you with challenges."
"It can read our minds?" puzzled the boys. As they progressed through the game’s levels, they discovered more about those around them. Then, mysteriously, the Game of Life began to spread its influence beyond Josh and Alex's lives to their friends.
Reviewers have given the book high reviews to an average of 4.3*
“This unique tale of Josh and Alex and the Game Master delivers on all fronts, from humor and mystery to action and a bit of fictional whimsy. After all, if you can blend sci-fi, mystery, fantasy, and adventure so neatly into a book, then someone of any age can enjoy it - even me.”
