The Contestant

Save himself? Or save the world?
When ex-Air Force computer genius Josh Lane is kidnapped at gunpoint and wakes up in a cell, he's faced with a deadly ultimatum: solve a computer problem... or die.
With no way out and no idea who his captors are, Josh must use all his skills and quick thinking to survive. But as he delves deeper into the complex puzzle, he realizes that the stakes are even higher than he thought.
The consequences of failure could be catastrophic.
But to win... that may cost even more.
It's a game called Escape from Eden, and Josh is the newest Contestant. He has no choice but to play, even if losing means death.
