The Massively Multiplayer World of Ghosts, Volume 2: A New Challenger

"Picking up after the titanic battle between the teenager Nilay Rao and seasoned assassin Gato, the World of GHOSTS, a secret society where select "players" can summon GHOSTS to fight battles, is in chaos! Nilay is not only the son of former decorated players, but he has acquired the mythical GHOSTS Vyper Neo, capable of unseating the balance of power of all royal players. As Nilay's father struggles to uncover the connection of Vyper Neo to his wife's disappearance, a new mysterious figure threatens to destroy the Rao family and take Vyper Neo, but unlike Gato, this person appears to be an acquaintance already. Can the Rao family piece together the clues of their antagonist before its too late? The answer may rely on Nilay's ability to become a better player and work with Vyper Neo and his father's former GHOST, the terrifying Daedalus Bonn, to defeat any threats that come their way."--
