The first blockbuster novel from multiple #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author James Patterson and the world's most popular Youtuber, media personality, entrepreneur, and philanthropist MrBeast, centering on a deadly, high-stakes competition in which MrBeast himself will compete.

"You are someone who will look the impossible in the face and tell it to sit down and shut up. The world needs that. The world needs you."

A thousand strangers receive the invitation. One hundred make the cut. An unprecedented competition from MrBeast, the world's #1 creator with more than a billion followers, and James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling author, where the stakes couldn't be higher.

The Games begin in Antarctica, where one wrong step on the ice kills you, and they never let up: Shark water off a remote Chilean island, desert heat that cooks you where you stand, storm-battered peaks, and caves so black you cannot find your own hand. No rescue. No second chances. A billion dollars to whoever is still standing.

Then the terrain stops being the thing that can kill you, and the other players start. Alliances turn into ambushes. Trust becomes the sharpest weapon. And somewhere above it all, a hidden voice is watching every move, testing, deciding who deserves to survive.

From MrBeast and James Patterson: an unputdownable survival thriller about what people will do to become The One who can save the world.
