"This is a great story...Definitely an amazing adventure for all...The descriptive scenes captivate the imagination and one truly feels a part of the story." --AudiobookReviewer.com "It was tough to look away. What's really interesting about this book is how multi-layered it is... Zahn's story manages to pull from the world around us, while also incorporating elements of mythology and hero epics. This is a coming of age story of the highest caliber." --Jessica Nottingham (Creator of HopelessBibliophile.com) "A swift & compelling read. It's fun and I recommend it if you enjoy science fiction epics." --Michael Coorlim (Galvanic Century series author) "I was immediately drawn in by the vivid descriptions at the beginning of the story. The author has a knack for fully immersing a reader into the hero's plight, and I felt like I was hurtling through corridors of light alongside Zahn." --Erica Lane (Creator of FantasyBookLane.com) "Quite difficult to put down; I found myself up until 2 AM a couple of nights." --Retired Techie, Reviewer "The bad guys were nasty and believable, Zahn 'manned up' and he could be me and I could be him, and the story moved. The ending? Yep, its in for a second book." --J. Thomas Beaton, Author of Duality Inc.
