Synopsis

Unwilling to bow down to the oppressive confines of The Program, basketball star Shinji develops a plan to deliver his hand-made bombs directly to enemy HQ. All that's left is to put that plan into action. Unfortunately, this is much easier said than done—mistrust and betrayal runs high in the world of Battle Royale and it could mean the end of Shinji’s playing days!

From the Inside Flap:

""Taguchi's straight-ahead storytelling and Giffen's superior adaptation make the gore easy to follow. The book's scenes of torture, implied rape and killing combine the horror and extreme violence of A Clockwork Orange with Lord of the Flies' exploration of human nature and depravity and aren't for the faint of heart.""
-- Publishers Weekly

""Feel like crossing the line, perhaps taking in something of such magnitude that the pages actually jump into your head? Look no further. Run, don't walk, to your nearest book dealer and feast your senses on Battle Royale...""
