0.4 by Mike A Lancaster

It's a brave new world. 'My name is Kyle Straker. And I don't exist anymore.'

If I told you what 0.4 referred to it would spoil the story.
If I told you who Mike Lancaster it may spoil the story, too.

Suffice to say that 0.4 is aimed at the teen reader market but is well worth reading even beyond, is science fiction… or science fact depending on your point of view.

It is the story of Kyle Straker a messed up kid from as messed up home… some weird stuff happens which either makes the family less or more messed up depending on your point of view. Whichever your opinion regarding the family there is no denying the fact that Kyle Straker ends up even MORE messed up.

But then, in the end, it all works out for the best… or it doesn’t. Depending on your point of view.

Now that I’ve thoroughly confused you I need to say it is well worth reading, whether you are a teen or a not-so teen it is definitely worth reading. It’ll blow your mind, in a good way or a bad way, depending on your point of view.
