However, even before the 'canaries' have barely started their journey, a mysterious hacker known only as 'The Quiz Master' takes control of the ship, and puts the canaries through a sick and twisted 'Last Man Standing' elimination game that will leave nine of the canaries dead, and only one survivor.
Who is this mysterious Quiz Master, and what are his motivations? And which of the ten contestants will survive?"

As regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may also have noticed, I occasionally like to feature quizzes on the blog. However, whereas the quizzes on my blog are generally light-hearted and sometimes a little bit silly, the quizzes, situations, and tests that the 'contestants' face are somewhat more unsettling, and of course the stakes are a lot higher!
To give you an idea of some of the questions, dilemmas and tasks that the contestants face to determine who is 'eliminated', one of the rounds that the Quiz Master puts them through is called Moral Dilemmas. In this round, the contestants are faced with numerous hypothetical moral dilemmas, one of which is as follows:
"You are a doctor and one of your patients is in a coma with only a small chance of waking up. Another patient requires a liver transplant and it turns out that the person in the coma is a perfect match. The patient in the coma is an evil man, whereas the person requiring the transplant has lived a good life.
Would you lie and pretend that the coma patient had no chance of waking up so that his liver could be given to the patient requiring the liver transplant?"
There are many more rounds putting the contestants through a variety of tasks, conundrums, and situations, but if you want to know exactly what they are, you'll have to buy the book!

To reveal a little more about the characters, here's a brief description of the ten criminals chosen to be canaries:
The Notorious Surgeon: A twisted serial killer who performed sick experiments on his victims.
Dirty Mayor: The corrupt former mayor who allowed the Notorious Surgeon to remain free to continue his killing spree.
Dilbert Dingleby: A naive soul who just happened to associate with criminal friends.
The Zoo Keeper: A demented serial killer who fed his victims to his pet tiger.
The Golden Boy: A former Hollywood star who was exposed as being guilty of human trafficking.
The Cashback Bomber: A deranged killer who blew up a store over a disagreement regarding cashback.
Poisonous Pete: A former acid tongued TV host who poisoned his rivals, simply for achieving better ratings than him.
Harvey Smith: A secretive individual who, for reasons known only to himself, decided he had to be one of the canaries.
The Carjacker: A vengeful son who killed numerous [redacted] agents in high speed car crashes as revenge for them killing his whistleblower father.
The Unprisoner: A serial killer dedicated to killing off criminals as a so-called 'public service'.
