A deadly underground game might just be altering reality itself in this all-new adventure set in the world of the hit Rabbits podcast.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL • “A wild ride . . . impossible to put down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It’s an average work day. You’ve been wrapped up in a task, and you check the clock when you come up for air—4:44 p.m. You check your email, and 44 unread messages have built up. With a shock, you realize the date is April 4—4/4. And when you get in your car to drive home, your odometer reads 44,444.

Coincidence? Or have you just seen the edge of a rabbit hole?

Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses the entire world as its canvas.

Since the game started in 1959, ten iterations have appeared and nine winners have been declared. The identities of these winners are unknown.

So is their reward, which is whispered to be NSA or CIA recruitment, vast wealth, immortality, or perhaps even the key to the secrets of the universe itself.

But the deeper you get, the more dangerous the game becomes. Players have died in the past—and the body count is rising.

And now the eleventh round is about to begin.

Enter K—a Rabbits obsessive who has been trying to find a way into the game for years. That path opens when K is approached by billionaire Alan Scarpio, rumored to be the winner of the sixth iteration. Scarpio says that something has gone wrong with the game and that K needs to fix it before Eleven starts, or the whole world will pay the price.

Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing.

Two weeks after that, K blows the deadline: Eleven begins.

And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake. Science Fiction Game Adventure Technothrillers Exciting Supernatural Thriller & Suspense Fiction Thriller Paranormal Emotionally Gripping Technology Scary

Critic reviews

“A taut mystery for a time of conspiratorial madness, a frightening romp that forcefully reminds us of the terrible plausibility of conspiratorial thinking.”—Cory Doctorow, author of Attack Surface and How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism

“Rabbits chases the mysteries at the heart of gaming and popular culture. Cancel your evening plans and follow Terry Miles down the rabbit hole.”—Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author

“Rabbits is a remarkably assured debut, deftly written and laced with intrigue. It combines Haruki Murakami’s slice-of-life surrealness with the thrilling pace and pop-culture throwbacks of Ready Player One. I loved it.”—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

“A twisted trip through a cool digital wilderness of a mystery. This book sticks to your brain. Just read it already.”—Norman Reedus, actor, author, producer, artist

“Rabbits is an addictive puzzle box of a book that’ll have you obsessing over every little detail. Do not start this if you have plans that day—you’ll just end up canceling them.”—Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse

“Imagine the world’s greatest gamers invented their own wild, lunatic conspiracy theory . . . only to discover it might be ancient, possibly true enough to kill them, and dangerous enough to rewrite the code of the world. That’s Rabbits: brilliant, breathless, and full of madness. Terry Miles makes you feel like you’re the one playing the game—and facing the consequences if you lose!”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and Red Hands

“A fascinating blend of paranoia and plausibility, Rabbits takes gaming to the next level. This ambitious and intricate novel will have you looking over your shoulder—and questioning the results of your next Google search.”—Alexandra Oliva, author of Forget Me Not

“Seemingly benign coincidences become clues to a mind-bending scavenger hunt in [Terry] Miles’s outstanding debut technothriller. . . . Miles masterfully combines mystery, danger, and scientific theory to bring the game to life until readers are just as caught up in searching for the next clue as the characters themselves. It’s a wild ride and it proves impossible to put down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

This was an exciting listen, I was quickly enchanted and had no choice but to binge it. Performance is fun and believable. I’m definitely going to re listen to the podcast and then the book in the near future!

Super fun

So many hateful reviews from people who haven’t even listened to the podcast! Don’t pay attention to them they don’t know what they are talking about! This story was jam packed with the deliciously suspenseful and mysterious clues that are Of RABBITS! I loved this book and “Riley” did a great job narrating it as well. I was at the edge of my seat at times and also finding myself a little creeped out but in a good way. If you’re a fan of the podcast you will LOVE this book! I totally recommend it!

Listen to the Podcast 1st and then READ this book!!

Like his podcasts, Terry Miles is great at building a universe, and this book is the same. There’s intrigue! It’s exciting to think about the world through his stories. BUT, like his podcasts, it’s more about the vibe than the plot line. They’re always just on the wrong side of too complicated and convoluted, with too many characters. They’re hard to follow if you’re trying to think through them coherently. That said, I loved this book and listened twice because they’re super fun as long as you don’t follow too deeply!

I dig most all things Terry Miles: Tanis, Black Tapes, Last Movie, but had to force feed my ears through the Rabbits novel. Maybe the element of eeriness was missing, or the narration was over explaining, repeating, pointing out the obvious, re-questioning, constantly waxing poetically about Seattle (and its weather), girl on girl romancing. I got half way through the book and found myself verbally complained on job sites while listening. Then the ending rushed on by in a what the flip happened. I get it, multiverse- it’s complicated. Sorry Terry, this one missed the bullseye for me.

I loved the podcasts but… something was missing
