Austin Stone is the best Star Runners player there is. But it's not a game, it's real . . . and he's about to become the greatest hero in a war that spans the stars. Austin's just a typical teenager, struggling with school and the loss of his father. He's also a living legend as Rock, one of the best players of the hugely popular Star Runners MORP--but that's just a game right? Suddenly he's got a scholarship to an intense military school and he and his friends learn the truth: everything in Star Runners is real. If he works hard and survives, he will become a real-life fighter pilot in deep space, a hero of the freedom-loving Legion. Well before he's ready, and before anyone expected, Austin is thrust into the center of a very real war with the Zahl Empire. Will he be able to save the people that matter to him most or will his adventure in space end before it begins.

"I wish I could tell you how cool this is."
With those words uttered by his best friend during an online chat, Austin Stone, a high school senior, forces himself to accept the fact his friends are leaving him behind.
With average grades, less than stellar play in baseball, and a single mother struggling to make ends meet, it looks as if Austin’s only way to continue his education would be through some kind of miracle.
His only escape is playing an online space simulation, Star Runners. It seems to be the only environment in which he excels. However, being a champion Trident Starfighter isn’t something you want to brag about in public nor will it help earn a scholarship.
But as soon as Austin is about to give up on college he reaches the top of the elite server. He receives an invitation from a school shrouded in secrecy promising to unlock his hidden potential. With no other options, Austin takes the offer.
What he doesn’t realize is that his dream of going to college has just opened up the cosmos and will challenge everything he thinks he knows about himself and the universe.
This book is a light sci-fi YA adventure story.
