DEN – an Action Thriller

She was grateful to get into Gameland.

Now she’s desperate to get back out.

Amy Raven insists that she’s innocent. She never saw the steroids until the U of I basketball coach found them in Amy’s locker. Expelled and friendless, she takes a dead end job at Grater Gameland, an abandoned theme park that’s preparing to make a comeback.

But Gunther Grater’s not interested in re-opening his father’s park. He only wants to use it to trap Amy for himself. And he’s enlisted nine other gamers to compete in a deadly hunt to track her down.

Given a pair of night vision goggles and a hunting knife, Amy finds herself fighting to escape an onslaught of predators, each with their own deranged plans for Amy. To survive and escape, she must outwit, outmaneuver, and outrun each one of them, while dodging their uniquely chosen weapons.

But how can she win her freedom when even Gameland’s rides are rigged against her?

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

 “Den is a rollercoaster ride of thrills and terror, a one-person Hunger Games through an abandoned carnival filled with traps and ambushes. Hair-raising!”

Thom Reese, Author of The Empty and The Huntington Adventures series

“Packed with drama and action from the start, this edge-of-your-seat, young adult novel will grip adults as well as teens. I loved the characters, each one distinctive, as much as the fascinating plot. Randall Allen Dunn is an amazing storyteller, able to make readers feel like they are in the midst of the action as Amy Raven fights to survive in a crazy game of life and death. Her character is wonderfully realistic, flawed, strong, sometimes insecure, other times confident, always worth rooting for.”

Susan Miura, Young Adult author of Signs in the Dark

“Was immediately pulled into this action-packed thriller. I could feel Amy Raven’s loneliness and exile … I instantly found myself cheering for her, hoping justice would rise. … Hands down, Amy was my girl. A smart and strong female character I really admired, who brought encouragement and a beautiful display of survival. Lots of action and suspense … I found myself tearing through the chapters …. Totally immersive.”

 “Den lives up to its ‘Action Thriller’ description! Amy is no princess-waiting-for-rescue; she is thrown into a terrifying situation and must use her wits and skills to attempt escape. Gives you the feeling you had when you played hide-and-seek, holding your breath while you hear them just a few feet away, but multiplied tenfold.”

“With an intelligent, athletic female main character, Den is a fast-paced race through an amusement park full of very dangerous players. This story has surprises, twists, puzzles, violence and suspense to spare.”

 “Den reminded me of the Nancy Drew stories I loved as a young adult but, instead of Nancy solving mysteries, Amy is trying to survive while teams of psychopaths try to hunt her down in a demented amusement park game. Den has the female protagonist relying on her skills, wits and courage, with a healthy dose of violence, suspense and surprises to keep things interesting. You won’t look at an amusement park the same way again. A fun, fast read!”
