Rush (The Game #1) by Eve Silver
So what’s the game now? This, or the life I used to know?
When Miki Jones is pulled from her life, pulled through time and space into some kind of game—her carefully controlled life spirals into chaos. In the game, she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out. Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive team leader Jackson Tate, who says the game isn’t really a game, that what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their survival, and the survival of every other person on this planet. She laughs. He doesn’t. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying turn

Graphic Novels
A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel: Volume Two by George R. R. Martin, Daniel Abraham (Adapted by), Tommy Patterson (Illustrator)
Novelist Daniel Abraham and illustrator Tommy Patterson are not merely turning George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy A Game of Thrones
into a graphic novel: They are meticulously translating one art form
into another, and capturing the intricate nuances of Martin’s novels
just as HBO is doing with the blockbuster series. The Abraham/Patterson
collaboration is more than just a faithful adaptation. It is a labor of
love—and a thrilling masterwork in its own right.
Now, in the second volume, the
sweeping action moves from the icy north, where the bastard Jon Snow
seeks to carve out a place for himself among bitter outcasts and
hardened criminals sworn to service upon the Wall . . . to the decadent
south and the capital city of King’s Landing, where Jon’s father, Lord
Eddard Stark, serves as the Hand of King Robert Baratheon amid a nest of
courtly vipers . . . to the barbarian lands across the Narrow Sea,
where the young princess Daenerys Targaryen has found the unexpected in
her forced marriage to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo: love—and with
it, for the first time in her life, power.
Meanwhile, the dwarf Tyrion
Lannister, accused by Lady Catelyn Stark of the attempted murder of her
now-crippled youngest son, must call upon all his cunning and wit to
survive when he is captured and imprisoned in the lofty dungeons of the
Eyrie, where Lady Stark’s sister—a woman obsessed with vengeance against
all Lannisters—rules. But Catelyn’s impulsive arrest of the Imp will
set in motion a series of violent events whose outcome is fated to shake
the world at the worst possible moment. For now is not the time for
private feuds and bloodthirsty ambitions.
Winter is coming . . . and with it, terrors beyond imagining.
