Summary

What happens in the game, stays in the game . . .
Rabbits is a secret, dangerous and sometimes fatal underground game. The rewards for winning are unclear, but there are rumours of money, CIA recruitment or even immortality. Or it might unlock the universe’s greatest secrets. But everyone knows that the deeper you get, the more deadly the game becomes – and the body count is rising. Since the game first started, ten iterations have taken place . . . and the eleventh round is about to begin.

K can’t get enough of the game and has been trying to find a way in for years. Then Alan Scarpio, reclusive billionaire and alleged Rabbits winner, shows up out of nowhere. And he charges K with a desperate mission. Something has gone badly wrong with the game and K needs to fix it – before Eleven starts – or the world will pay the price.

Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing.

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

And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake.

Rabbits by Terry Miles is an electrifying, compulsive read based on the hit podcast from the Public Radio Alliance – perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Black Mirror.

Critic reviews

A taut mystery play for a time of conspiratorial madness, a frightening romp that forcefully reminds us of the terrible plausibility of conspiratorial thinking (Cory Doctorow)
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 cancelling them (Rob Hart)

Everything he’s involved with from Black Tapes, Tanis and the Last Movies to Rabbits is wonderful.

Wonderful

The story has an interesting premise with a slow release reveal of information. It though get frustrating at times because the characters sometimes felt like they oscillated from brilliant to extremely negligent periodically.

I listened to the podcast and enjoyed it generally. I hoped they'd be able to bring a bit more depth and quality to this story but the plot is weak and full of convenient situations and vague moments. The first 3/4s of the story is "rabbits" "what the ****" and weak mystery. it's a shame as it had such promise.

Good acting but poor story.

This could have been really good. I like the postcasts to some extent - but just like those, it doesn't really go anywhere quickly.
Lots of faff and fluff in the first half of the book. It needs a much better editor to cut it and rearrange some parts, so it 'flows' much better.
The characters also need to be better developed.

Interesting premise, and 'end of the world' stakes, but the main character never really seems to be in that much danger and doesn't really get out of first gear.
Considering what actually happened, the book could've been a lot shorter.
