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!

Excellent! Cheers for that

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!

Our last few hours together

So tomorrow SkyNet(Terminator) will control all the computers in the world and shut us down....
If we never see each other again I just want to say it's been an honor to be apart of this community for the last few years and the MP for the last few months
Let's hope we get the site back up quick

1992, or 1993 I think...

I think its awesome, considering its age.
calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, and games, Touch screen, QWERTY Keyboard.
Pretty impressive if you ask me

this thread rocks.. dont hate Daniel son :laugh:

I'm not intentionally disrespecting them. I'm just saying I've never heard of them in my travels. There are some roms out but that I've heard of, and don't care for with my past experience, but I won't name them on purpose. One person's candy is another one's poison.

It definitely starts slow but if you stick with it, it's extremely well written and crafted.
