Fathom Fall

The Maze Runner meets Fortnite in this action-packed young YA about a boy who finds out the monsters from his favorite video game are real.They came for our water, but they'll settle for your blood.On Fathom Fall's leaderboard, player Wyatt "e;DoctorDoctor"e; Docherty ranks at number three. In real life, he's seen only as the privileged kid of head engineers at Hydrexo, the company that supplies 75% of North America's water. He has easy access while others must line up to pay exorbitant prices at public water taps, and he feels totally useless. To prove he's more than a spoiled Water Baby, Wyatt wants to win the upcoming Fathom Fall competition and finally make a name for himself. But when he starts seeing Bluddites - the water-guzzling monsters from the game - in real life, Wyatt suspects that the tournament is about more than just prize money.Wyatt wants to win, but as the tournament approaches, he starts to worry: Why won't anyone tell them what's really going on? Why would the game - the military, even - be training kids to hunt monsters for them? And how far is he willing to go to prove himself?Set in a near-future, water-scarce Toronto, Fathom Fall is a high-octane speculative thrill ride that questions the ethics of new technology and how it defines our very reality.
