In one word, this book was, AMAZING. It blow me away, cant wait to read the sequel. Recommend to anyone who likes science/sci-fi regardless of what age you are. Also, if you like shows like "The X-Files" or "Fringe". You will like this as well.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”

“My love, my love
Remember the cries
When winter died for spring skies
They roared and roared
But we grabbed our seed
And sowed a song
Against their greed
And
Down in the vale
Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
the reaper swing
Down in the vale
Hear the reaper sing
A tale of winter done
My son, my son
Remember the chains
When gold ruled with iron reins
We roared and roared
And twisted and screamed
For ours, a vale
of better dreams”
