Brainboy and the Deathmaster

Here's a science fiction book from Tor Seidler.

Here's the premise:
Darryl is an orphan living at a facility sponsored by the rich-beyond-belief Keith Masterly, owner of software and entertainment companies. Darryl doesn't have much to live for other than his Gamemaster, a video game device built by Masterly's company. BJ volunteers at the foster home along with his librarian mother, and becomes friends with Darryl as the boys share a fascination of Masterly and his video games. All of a sudden Darryl disappears from the home, and BJ has reason to believe that Darryl is with Keith Masterly. Is he a willing member of a new adoptive family, or is he being held against his wishes?
