I really loved this book. As far as the science fiction goes it was superb.Yes, maybe the writing and the characters were a little flat and not quite there but it wasn't annoying to me at all because I was so captivated by the plot that I wanted to keep reading no matter what.The storyline, it takes you into this new world and it is so different and interesting. I thought it was quite imaginative of the Author to come up with all those elements like the Systems and the trapping balls and the Elite, etc. They all fit together well and created a vivid picture in my head.Besides that, I also related to the drama in Samantha's life and her losing everything so fast. I had a little bit of similar drama of my own and I definitely could relate to her struggle and was inspired also with the way she managed to get back on her feet no matter how hard the blow was. The ending was great, for the series that is. It definitely makes you want more. Luckily the second book is on the way. I received prior released, a free digital copy of this book from the author.(Yes, I took my time to read it :P)This story is totally awesome! From the beginning you are caught with a need to know what is that "noise".However, I don't give it five stars because I feel like it is necessary develop the characters a little bit more. There is too many "blanks" on the story; sometimes it moves on too fast and another times too slow.The soldiers invading Alpha... the trick balls, the System... Tim, Josh, Archie T_T And OMG that finale... knowing that the things are going to make worse in Beta... Just can't wait for the second book.It was so fucking amazing!
