Virtual War by Gloria Skurzynki is about the destructive nature of war, but not in the usual way.The book takes place in the future, around the end of our century. Most of the Earth is uninhabitable. The 2 million people remaining live in domed cities. Along with a small nuclear war, the world was destroyed by many plague-like diseases.
Now the three federations of cities will go to war over an island chain that is free from contamination. However, the war will be a virtual one. Three kids have been chosen to represent the Western Hemisphere Alliance. All three genetically altered to be up to the task.
Corgan has the best reflexes of any human. Sharla can break codes in her sleep. And Brig is a strategical double genius. Together they will have to defeat the other two alliances to win the islands for their own.
