Daniel X faces a new kind of invasion when two shape-shifting alien criminals use video games to influence and control young players across the world. Their technology turns entertainment into a weapon, trapping minds while preparing humanity for a much larger takeover. Daniel is determined to stop them, but the villains draw him into their virtual domain, where familiar rules no longer apply and every level hides another deadly challenge. With the help of the companions he can create through his extraordinary powers, he must separate illusion from reality and prevent himself from becoming part of the game. The adventure blends science fiction, humour and rapid action with a warning about manipulation, obsession and surrendering control.
