About this audiobook
Somehow, he lost his freedom. Now he belongs to the Academy, and the rules have changed. What started out as a game has become a matter of life and death.
When Ryan Jacobs hacks into a top-secret computer system, he has no idea that his life is about to change. He is forced to confront his worst fears as a sinister organisation tries to use his skills for its own evil ends.
If he doesn't think fast, someone will die.
At thirteen you shouldn't have to face these kinds of issues. But at thirteen, you don't get to decide THE RULES.
The Rules is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller for a rebellious and digital generation that want to fight the system. It's the first book in the Ryan Jacobs series.
