First of all it was a pleasure to be able to read a book that is the beginning of the series. Oftentimes I find myself reading the second or third book, but in this case, I am fortunate enough to read the first one.This novel contains a mixture of interesting genres, including fantasy, thriller, adventure, mystery and even romance. The letter in the beginning written to "truth seekers" was a nice touch; a good way to foreshadow what is about to happen. We then see an introduction to Harry Doubt, one of the principal characters in the book, who is a talented programmer and creator of the virtual game that other main characters in the book also play, called Truth Seekers. His father died and his mother, after joining a peacekeeping organization Global Mission, suddenly went missing.We also meet Cristal, who is one of Harry's good friends and who is one of the primary people who joined him on his quest for truth. In her personal journey she also discovers things that she wasn't prepared for, casing her to doubt her own reality.As a big fan of the show Fringe, this book appealed to me tremendously. The writing was well done, and the way the "supernatural" forces were introduced was great. The characters, primarily Harry and Cristal, were developed and built up very well, and had enough detail about their lives for us readers to understand them as people, not just characters. Genuinely looking forward to read the rest of the series when it comes out!
