On a small Caribbean island a woman joins the newest reality TV show: 24/7. For Dana Kirsten, winning the $2 million prize could mean saving her child's life. But while the country is watching her every move, Dana is entering a fight for her own life - and a conflict that will shake the world... Vassa Island has been rigged with remote control cameras, a surveillance satellite system, and the most powerful television transmitter ever created. And that's not all. For a small fee, anyone with a computer can access any of the 638 cameras live, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week - and vote as twelve carefully chosen contestants struggle with each other and the island. But only fifteen minutes into the first live broadcast, the show's host and crew die a ghastly death. The shell-shocked contestants hear a voice echoing from hidden speakers: "I am Control, and this has just become the ultimate reality show." Suddenly the voice is hurtling contestants through a maze of traps and macabre, individually designed puzzles. And when the worldwide audience votes one person off the island, it isn't just a loss... it's death. With every day unveiling a new terror, and as one man from the outside races to crack the Vassa mystery, the only real way to win 24/7 is to find Control. And stop him. But Control has plans beyond the desert island, spinning a dark plot that could hold the entire world hostage in a grip of death.

"One of the best thrillers I read this year, until I got to the end. It was so far fetched, just completely unbelievable as if the author didn't know what to do or couldn't end it, so it just fell flat "

" I think it got a little rediculous. "

— Maranda, 12/12/2012" Het boek zwakt snel af na een goede start. Te veel om en weer 'gereis' tussen verschillende locaties en personages, waardoor er niet echt nog een duidelijke lijn in het verhaal blijft. "
— Minnie, 11/5/2012" Started slow, but couldn't put it down when I got halfway into it. A good read and an indictment of reality TV all at the same time. I came to care about the characters, and I couldn't figure out who was the accomplice, so I was surprised at the ending. "
