  The near future.
  Some young people deal with their disillusionment by seeking out
  illusions of their own – in an illegal virtual-reality war game.
  Its simulated thrills and deaths are compulsive and addictive.
  Some players, working in teams called ‘parties’, even earn their
  living from the game.

  The game has its dangers.
  Sometimes it can leave a player brain-dead, needing constant
  medical care. Such victims are called ‘Unreturned’.
  The game is named after the legendary island where
  the souls of departed heroes come to rest:
  Avalon.
