New SciFi book, akin to Ender's Game

Hey guys/gals,
Just thought I'd throw this out for anyone who's interested. I found an awesome book by an indie-author that I really enjoy.
It's not related to Ender at all, but I can't help but think the story was inspired by the book we love so much.
He just dropped the price on it to $.99 for Kindle/Nook. Hah, I purchased the hardback for $14 back in December. =]
Hit up the link for more details:
KINDLE/NOOK BOOK: Psion Beta (price drop to $.99) - Slickdeals.net
And let me know if you have any questions, I'm on my second read =]
Hmm I love ender i may have to try that

You really should. The reviews on Amazon are impeccable. I think the only non-5 stars came from when the book was entered in an Amazon contest, and they only got to read part of the first chapter.
It really is a book that is hard to put down.
Ill get it then thanks

NP, enjoy it!
Just saw this on SD and bought it. Can't wait to read it.
Just bought it because of this thread. I love SciFi and even if I don't like it was only a dollar.

It's a great read, and it definitely has some re-readability mojo.
Enjoying it so far.

It's great isn't it?
Kind of frustrating that books like that have to be self-published, it's a really great story.
If you hop on over to the slickdeals.net thread I posted, the author actually came and found us. He mentions a couple things about releasing the next book.
I might buy a real copy just to support him haha.
Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
Excellent book!
Wish he'd hurry up with the sequal on kindle
It's like with Paul D. Harrington's Lightspeed series, although the second one came out in 2009 Amazon are only showing it as a second hand paperback for $32!

Big Ender's Game fan but short on cash this month so I'll have to wait until then to give this a shot. Looks good though!

[REVIEW] ***ZAGGKeys Flex Bluetooth Keyboard***

Hey guys. I made a quick review of the ZAGGKeys Flex bluetooth keyboard stand. Sorry about the bad video, I'm going to make a new one with "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". If you liked it please "like it". Also, if you're wondering if that's me in the video, yes, it is.
Here's the link:

No problem. I hoped you enjoyed it. I plan on making a "comprehensive" review where I go into actual detail.

I plan on also making a review of the Smart Case that I made a thread about, and the metal TPU case by Poetic. Honestly, posting reviews makes it a little easier spending $$ on accessories.

Portenzo Bookcase - Video Review

If you are interested in getting a really nice case for your Nexus 7 check this one out. I know there have been other reviews, but I figured I'd post up a video incase anyone was curious.
Sorry for the blurriness...working on it.
Good review of the case. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

No problem, I also forgot the mention that if you get a metal stylus it will stick right to the front of the case with the magnet.
Thanks for the review!

question: Is the wood a single piece or is it glued together?
Here is the book case that I use.

Different people with different tastes, that's why we use android.

Has anyone here tried the Oculus Rift ?

Would be good to hear some first hand experiences...
It's only available for developers right now. A guy from the Verge tired it out. You could read his review.

I figured with this being a developer site, someone on here may be a developer it was available to.
I've read all the reviews out there, all sounds very exciting.

Yeah he's one of my go to reviewers for Tech. He takes time to do a good job with his reviews. I like watching MKBHD & Flossy Carter.

He's a good tech reviewer. He does a lot about Android phones/features.
He was pretty much spot on as usual.
When you post, throw it in the tags so it is embedded:
He hit it spot on. Crappy camera and mediocre battery.
We all still love our Nexus 5's!

Spot on review imo.
He's popular on YouTube and earns thousands per week with his videos.
His reviews are the best. I've been waiting on this one! :good:

Don't forget this is the same guy that said the Moto X was not real. Look for that video in his channel.
He is pretty good, but I prefer to get my tech news through Pocketnow

I saw that video a long time ago.. And at that time there was no real info about the Moto X so he said it like it was. There was no such thing as a Moto X at the time. Just floating rumors about a "BEAST" phone from Motorola.

Best reviewer I'm subscribed to!

As of god himself reviewed the phone... No matter how good reviews are idc I am the best judge of my own phone.
I like watching MKBHD, mostly because he's a like-able guy and he uses ridiculously high quality gear (cameras, etc). He's also a good editor.
But his reviews are really predictable. The Nexus 5 video intro was Coldfustion-like and I just don't see how his actual opinion is really all that unique.
Not dogging the guy (I'm subbed) but I think the shiny-ness of his silky smooth video quality and editing draws most in.
Regardless, he will get hired soon by someone big. And he just turned 20 years old. 20. I'm old.
