The Condemned

By Rob Hedden

Book Overview

ONE LIVES. NINE DIE. Eight men. Two women. Some are ugly. Some are pretty. All are condemned to death and awaiting their fate at the hands of a third-world government. Each is swept up from their respective hellhole and offered the ultimate prize -- their life. An online reality show promises the condemned a suitcase full of cash and their freedom. The only proviso: survive, by killing off all the other players. Caught up in this mad "game" is an American, Jack Conrad (Stone Cold Steve Austin). He refuses to cooperate, instead playing by his own rules. As time runs out and the body count mounts, the government tries to shut down the game. Conrad must do everything he can to stay alive.

Customer Reviews

It is a kitsch..

off course, but pretty darn good. Resembling "The Running Man" (story by Stephen King), it reads smooth like a butter. Message is quite clear/important and scary: ugliness and stupidity of the so called "Reality TV Shows" must be scrutinized and censored because humans are worse than the beasts. I hope it will never come to such show in the future, but.. nobody knows it for sure.

great book

this book was great. It made you feel like you weren't reading a book but actually watching the movie.
