Access Universe

By R.S. Hill

On the eve of a catastrophic network crash that erases all of her subject data, Silver, a promising but unmotivated graduate student, receives a mysterious invitation to join the players at Access Universe. With her graduate funding hanging by a thread, her boyfriend's chronic cheating, a complicated Native American heritage she wants to embrace, and a relentless past all stressing her out, Silver takes a chance. Playing the with Access Universe, she quickly earns thousands completing simple online challenges. Soon her friends, wise Uncle Neto, her mother's escalating addiction, and her integrity take a back seat to Neiman Marcus, Jimmy Choo, a chauffeured limousine, and an exotic vacation to Hawaii. As the quirky central computer at Access Universe encourages her to play and seems more human every day, Silver slips deeper into the game. When she is ambushed in Hawaii by a player with "untouchable" status, she begins to regret the choices she is making. When that same "untouchable" threatens her life, federal agents want to talk to her, and a good friend ends up dead, Silver must convince the rogue AI facilitating the game, to help her out of the colossal mess she's gotten herself into.
