Battle Royale: The Novel by Koushun Takami


”The reason why you’re all here today…is to kill each other.”

The Republic of Greater East Asia, formerly known as Japan, has become a place of isolation and dictatorship. Everything with a remote connection to the United States, mostly referred to as the American Imperialists, is strictly prohibited. If you fight or show any intentions of resistance, the government will make sure you’ll be silenced forever. Though, it doesn’t stop there… To force the citizens to obey and to protect the nation, the government has come up with something called “Battle Experiment No. 68”, also known as the Program. Each year, a third-year junior high school class is selected for the Program and sent to a deserted island. Provided with a map, food and weapons, the students are sent out one by one. The rules are simple; kill or be killed. If you don’t obey, the special tracking collar placed around each student’s neck will explode. Given a period of three days, the students are forced to fight until only one survivor remains. Trust no one and be brutal, because in the end it all comes down to one thing: Who has what it takes to win...and who doesn't?
