They can access alien technologies with only their minds. Captured by a psychopath, sixteen year old Glen Davies and his friends Alyssa and Neil must now choose between saving their loved ones and the subjugation of the planet…
Since the dawn of man, there have been Viewers. Leonardo Da Vinci, Issaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates. People who, using only their minds, can tap into an alien internet and glimpse advanced technologies. Many of them think what they see comes from their own imagination. Others know better. For ages they have advanced our quality of life through their inventions and discoveries.
But now, a mad man has decided to capture every viewer he can, and force them to use their abilities to create for him advanced weaponry with which he will conquer and subjugate every country on Earth. Their only way to stop him is if Glen and his fellow captive viewers fight back – but to do so and fail would mean that they, their families, and loved ones would pay the ultimate price.
I really didn't like this book... By over heat through it I didn't feel like I knew well enough what was going on, plus I didn't care enough about any of the characters. The aliens are really non-existent for so long, and I just lost interest. It's too bad cuz the blurb on goodreads is really fascinating - it's too bad the book doesn't live up to the idea behind it.
Very interesting, unique concept but often seemed too far-fetched even for science fiction. I also would have liked more character development - they sometimes seemed a bit one-dimensional. However it was easy to imagine the scenes and the story was fast-paced and attention-capturing. See more at: http://bookdigits.com/book?ID=1080565
