All Sales Final

Everything must go. Including you. Jax Miller has worked the night shift at Meridian Square Mall for eleven years. He's watched it die slowly — store by store, lease by lease — and he thought he'd already seen the worst this dead mall had to offer. Then the ceiling started counting down. When Meridian Square collapses into an alien-broadcast death game, Jax finds himself armed with nothing but a retractable baton, eleven years of retail-honed instincts, and an eight-foot animatronic pizza-parlor mascot who just woke up sentient, on fire, and extremely ready for his close-up. Somewhere out past a bruised, unfamiliar sky, hundreds of thousands of alien viewers are tuning in to watch Jax and Bruno the Bear fight their way through ten floors of a mall turned monster-infested nightmare — a food court full of murderous soft-serve machines, a department store staffed by something wearing a human face, a jewelry store where every deal costs more than gold. Sponsors want a piece of them. The show wants a body count. And somewhere above it all, a Network executive is watching a little too closely. With a sharp-tongued structural engineer who trusts blueprints more than people, a terrified GameStop employee who lost his own name to the dungeon, and a mascot with a serious flair for the dramatic, Jax has to find a way to survive a game built to kill him — and figure out, floor by floor, whether "survive" is even the same thing as "win." Fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl will feel right at home: dark gallows humor, snarky system messages, brutal cliffhangers, an unforgettable uplifted companion, and a reality-TV apocalypse that never, ever lets up. Clearance starts now. Everything must go.
