Back Blurb

The 42 students of Ninth Grade Class B have been kidnapped, marooned on an island, and ordered to kill everyone else or they all die. They're not victims of a sick, cruel joke; they're contestants on the top-rated, government-sanctioned television reality show called The Program.

The students have been given food, water, and random weapons and, to ensure their cooperation, they've been fitted with explosive collars. However, it takes surprisingly little to get some members of Class B to play the game.

Soccer player Kazushi Niida gets his kicks by treating The Program like an exhibition game. How many goals will this crossbow-toting all-star score before he gets a permanent time-out?

Only 25 students remaining!
