The Champion
In this explosive final book in the YA Contender trilogy, Cade and his friends wage the ultimate battle for their lives — and the fate of Earth itself.
Cade has managed to survive the duel with the Hydra Alpha — barely. But the Games are far from over.
By order of their cruel and mysterious overlord, Abaddon, Cade and his friends are sent off to war against the Greys, a humanoid race who have far surpassed humans in technology on their home planet. This attempt to move up the leaderboard, however, leads Cade to a game-changing revelation: The Pantheon — the millenia-old alien masterminds behind the Games — have a weakness.
With the right artifacts scavenged from the land of Acies and a heavy dose of courage and luck, Cade has exactly one chance to end their tyranny forever. But if he fails, the lives of his friends — and the survival of Earth itself — will be forfeit.
