Received from rainbow3 at the end of 2016 sometime. What with the festive season, bookcrossing problems, and lack of computer access, this has been left in limbo for far too long. Sorry.
Fantastic Fiction synopsis.
"There is no such place as Krassnia. Lucy Stone should know - she was born there. In that tiny, troubled region of the former Soviet Union, revolution is brewing. Its organisers need a safe place to meet, and where better than the virtual spaces of an online game? Lucy, who works for a start-up games company in Edinburgh, has a project that almost seems made for the job: its original inspiration came from The Krassniad - an epic tale, based on Krassnian folklore, concocted by Lucy's mother who studied there in the 1980s. As Lucy digs up details about her birthplace to slot into the game, she finds her interest in the open secrets of her family's past - and the darker secrets of Krassnia's - has not gone unnoticed. When a Russian - Georgian border war breaks out, Lucy has to move fast - and return to Krassnia herself, to the heart of the mountain that holds Krassnia's darkest and oldest secret. But nothing Lucy has discovered can possibly prepare her for the crucial role she is destined to play in The Restoration Game ....".

Mr Flutterbies9 started this but gave up just before half way through saying that unfortunately, he found this rather formulaic and it did not hold his interest. He said he has many other books that he really wants to read so was not inclined or inspired to finish this one. Sorry.
Unfortunately not my type of read at all and so I will see if this is on a wishlist somewhere.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Round 2 of the Crime / Mystery Book box is underway! and someone may like this for a change of scenery. Who knows?
Selected from Flutterbies9 crime & mystery book box.
I don’t usually do Sci Fi so wasn’t sure what to expect. The first and last chapters were just weird but I didn’t actually mind the rest of it.
Most likely will put this in the local outdoor library unless someone wants it on the forum.
