One rule. One winner. One hundred million dollars.
A group of random strangers are invited to take part in a mysterious lottery with an intriguing premise. Twenty-seven accept the offer.

 
But what begins as an unusual social experiment quickly descends into something much more sinister. The contestants receive more than they bargained for, and the dark side of human nature reveals itself.  

 

As the lottery spirals into a life-and-death struggle for survival, Alice Kato is left searching for answers. How far are ordinary people willing to go to win this extraordinary amount of money? Is there anyone she can trust? Is there any way out?  

 

And just who exactly is pulling all the strings?  

 

Everyone has their price. Most just don't know what it is yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A free read and surprising entertaining.

I found this story to be a unique and engaging view of a not too distant future , where wealth is just a tool for the ultra rich to amuse themselves by manipulating people in an unholy game of competition for money. From the viewpoint of Alice, a participant in the competition , we see the unfolding of one particular individual's journey through this twisted game of greed, mystery and possible survival or death, which also includes just enough intertwining of other character's involvement to round out the total experience of participation. I found the story immediately engaging, well developed and unique. In liew of spoiler info, I just suggest .... read it and appreciate a well written futuristic drama with a satisfying ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful and fascinating psychological thriller
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019

This book has a simple but intriguing premise -- a group of ordinary people find themselves taking place in an unlikely lottery, but said lottery has deadly consequences. Not an uncommon premise... but this book not only has an unexpectedly interesting world set in the near future, but uses its premise to explore human nature, greed, and the possibility of violence in all of us. It also shows what lengths even the best of us will go to for wealth, notoriety, and to save our own lives.

Alice, a journalist for a sensationalist tabloid, receives a mysterious letter in the mail that draws her to a symposium where everyone present is given a choice. If they bow out of a curious wager, they receive two thousand dollars and can go their own way... but if they choose to participate, the last living person in said wager wins a massive fortune. Intrigued, Alice and twenty-six others join, figuring that it's a harmless game and they have the possibility to win millions if they live long enough. But when members of the lottery begin dying violently, Alice realizes that what seemed to be a curiosity is in fact a deadly game... one she discovers she will go to insane lengths to survive.

The writing is nicely paced, carrying the action along at a brisk but not breakneck pace and maintaining suspense nicely while still being descriptive enough to paint a vivid picture of what's going on. It does tend to screech to a halt every so often to info-dump on certain aspects of the world, and while I appreciated the fleshing out of this version of the future, it did sometimes disrupt the flow of the story. Still, Allen has woven a compelling future, and I wouldn't mind seeing more stories set in this world.

Alice is a surprisingly complex character, flawed but sympathetic at the same time. The book explores just how the tension and horror of her situation push her to extremes, and how the human mind bends or breaks beneath unspeakable circumstances. It also deftly explores human nature and just how far we'll go against one another in the name of wealth or self-preservation. It also contains some deft social commentary, though how heavy-handed this commentary is may vary depending on your personal beliefs.

While not perfect, "All Against All" is a fascinating psychological thriller with a sci-fi flavor, though the sci-fi elements are low-key enough that non sci-fi fans can enjoy it. And as I stated earlier, I'd love to see more books in this particular world.

The plot is quite dark and there are few likable characters, but All Against All is a well-written, fast-moving novel. I enjoyed it much more than some of the more expensive thrillers I've read lately. This has the potential of being a good movie, in the right hands. I look forward to more of the author's work.

I like the plot and the overall premise of the story. However, I did not enjoy the anti gun rhetoric the author hid in the plot. While the story was a good read overall, the political statement about firearms knocked it down a couple of stars for me.

I really enjoyed this book. I had it on my radar for a while and other things kept coming up, but I am very glad that I read this and will look for more from Nathan Allen in the future.
The plot was a really fun take on a future (semi-dystopian?) world not so different from our own. The rich and powerful can and will do almost anything. The idea of a tontine and how it affects the people surrounding it is great. I loved the flawed characters, the little twists, and the not-so-subtle warnings of our future. It is not too bloody for those who are sensitive to that. It is terrifying in it’s own way.

I must say I absolutely loved this book! It was a quick grab right from the beginning, and held you through to the end. The story line was different from others in this genre. I am looking forward to reading more works from this Author.
The only frustration I had, was not having the amount of time I usually had to read it. So it took longer than normal & interrupts the flow, but still managed to become a great read.

What an excellent surprise! Last week I had the luck to come across this book for free. As usual, I downloaded it. But still, the resume on Amazon and the positive reviews got me intrigued. This wouldn't become a free book waiting until God knows when to be read. By far, I have to agree that, the right choice was to begin to read it straight away. I for one thought about one zillion ways of predicting the plot, and I fail to admit that I was wrong in almost every one of them, This book is brilliant. I would recommend it.
(please, check the other comments to see about what the book is about because I can kind of not be able to spare some details, sorry hahahah).

Note to the author:

I KNOW it took me forever to discover this work of art. I am so thankful for this book, and for sure, you should continue doing what you do, because you do it graciously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would you enter a lottery for an unimaginable fortune if the last competitor alive was the winner?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2019

What would you do given the opportunity to win an eye-watering amount of money? How far would you go to ensure you were the last man standing in a winner takes all lottery? These are the main themes of this imaginatively written tale. Set in the not too distant future it explores the raw desire to win the ultimate prize .
The author draws you in ,unfolding the layers of the plot in a manner that kept me wanting to read just that little bit more. The lead character I found believable and likeable. The futuristic time frame enabled the imaginative use of currently unavailable technologies which I felt was used to enhance the plot rather than a convenient and annoying way of explaining away a hole in the storyline which I have seen used too many times before.
This book is a well written, interestingly developed piece of fiction with a satisfying final twist at the end. Well worth the time to read

5.0 out of 5 stars A survival game done right
Reviewed in Italy on December 23, 2016

All Against All is a novel that has everything a novel of its genre should have. The story is set in a future with some dystopic elements (though it's not as relevant as in Orwell's 1984, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and other dystopic novels), outlining nicely a couple of aspects of that society, most of all drugs, emphasizing, later on, the importance and the power of money.
Although some parts of the story were a bit stereotyped, the story overall was more than nice, and it makes for a great read considering that it's free to grab.
