Wired For War
Eli Colden believed he was a normal kid. He believed that it was the 21st century. That the year was 2013. Eli Colden has been living a lie. His life has been micromanaged by people he has never met. The town he lives in does not exist. The year 2013 has ended centuries previously. His friends are merely actors given orders and information in order to carry out the deception. When Eli discovers that he is part of an artificially stimulated experiment, and that he is not even on Planet Earth but a planet called Ashlulu, Eli must trust that the people who got him out of it are telling the truth about his past and his part in the future of humanity. Planet Earth is dead. Machines created by humans to find a new planet to live on have turned their backs on humanity and made the planet their own. Now the humans are forced to become illegal immigrants, trying to smuggle themselves onto the planet where they are faced with an Artificially Intelligent race of machines that are not going to give up their planet without a fight. Is Eli the savior? A secret weapon created on Planet Earth and sent to the Planet Ashlulu to help the struggling humans defeat the machines before the machines defeat them?

I almost want to give this book four stars, but only for its potential. It's a decent enough story, with some elements of The Matrix and maybe Never-Ending Story thrown in. Our hero is taken on a fantastical journey to discover his destiny. He uses his wits and eventually some cool powers to overcome obstacles.
My problem with the book is with the editing (or lack thereof, perhaps). Some paragraphs left me a bit confused. Some technological concepts could have been developed a bit more.
Again, I still liked the story. In its current state, the novel makes a quick weekend "read-it-and-forget-it" book.

The synopsis is a stretch of the truth. Good enough book for light enjoyable quick read.
