Books like Starfleet Academy - The Assassination Game by Alan Gratz
The rules are simple: draw a target, track him down, and “kill” him with a spork. Take your victim’s target for yourself, but avoid being the first with your name written there. No safe zones, no time‑outs. The game ends when only one player remains.
In the midst of playful competitions, the usually placid Starfleet Academy campus is rocked by a series of explosions. Kirk is playing for fun, McCoy for a girl, but soon the line between game and reality fractures. Who is behind the deadly games? Is it the visiting Varkolak, fueling a medical conference, or a covert Academy society ready to eliminate threats by any means?
As the campus turns to chaos, the protagonists must confront both the true nature of the game and the allies and enemies that lurk within the Academy’s walls.
