Filled with strange and sometimes hilarious creatures, Nick is convinced that he is stuck in some kind of dream. His guide, a dizzy blue sphere named WhizzyWig, takes him deep inside a Walled City filled with Bytes, Beserks and Phish Pirates.

[Ruby Ridge · Rating 1 out of 5]

One of the worst books I have ever read, if there was a zero star rating I would give it to this book
There is no story, bad grammar and schoolboy humor. Do not waste your time reading this - I regret it

An extraordinary world the author makes. The world of Silicates is made of a computer world. One will notice along the way the usage of terms, like bytes being actually strange sphere beings with tubes, legs, and claws. You get to know how their world works and learn how it has fallen and what their trying to do to get it back up. In the Silicates world there are two things going on, First) there is NazKlan, he wants to take over the government and make himself leader and he also doesn’t believe they and the Karbonons should join together. Two) The other side has made a game and whoever passes is the chosen one, this side is following the words of AldAyn who wrote the Book of TranFor, they wish to join their queen (Tera) with a Karbon. Three) In the world of the Karbons are two players, Nick and the Hacker. Nick passes the test and the Hacker wishes to take down the Karbonon world with the help of NazKlan.
Through out the story, Nick and WhizzyWig go though great lengths to accomplish their goal before NazKlan and Thrasher, and the Hacker can stop them for good.
The ending is not what any one can completely guess.

Jam-packed with typos: not just the intentional ones to give character to speech, but in the narration as well. So many typos that it detracted from the story, which also seemed a bit elementary at times. Good concept, very poor execution.
