Publisher's summary

The world is broken. The powerful machines that once ruled over land and sky fought and died, leaving humanity in a primitive age of swords and monsters. But that was long ago, and only legends of the Schism remain.

Enoch has never been frightened by these tales. He sees things differently from the other youth in Rewn's Fork, and that makes him an outcast. Where others see crops and weather and flocks of sheep, Enoch sees numbers and patterns.

When he accidentally awakens a powerful artificial intelligence, he discovers the truth behind his peculiarity - Enoch is an Etherwalker, the last in a long line of powerful technopaths who can control machines with their minds. Without knowing it, he has triggered the ancient Hunt, and now legendary monsters are hungry for his blood and bent on his extinction. They know he has seen the truth behind the broken world, and, if he survives, he may have the power to shatter it...or to make it whole again.

Stellar story worth remembering

Dayton's visual way with words will keep your imagination engaged. The characters are inventively quirky and he is not afraid to explore uncomfortable relationships. Great one! Pick it up.

Great new story

Great character development and plot movement. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for a sequal! The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters and story to life. Will try other books he has narrated.

Unexpected world building

Excellent listen. The genre lists as a YA read but I thought the world building made this an excellent mature read.

Unique Book

I've never listened to a book like this one. The world, the characters... Everything about it is the product of true creativity. Easily one of the best books of 2015.

hard to follow, not sure where it went either

I don't know if it was the author the narrator but the world building just didn't connect. It felt like the author wrote thousands of pages of nuanced backstory to a world that just wasn't conveyed. It gave the feel of a video game where players do the quest and just shut their minds off to the plot and carry on.

Pieces of every type of sci fi and fantasy were stapled together, if I focused on any given piece it seemed fine it just didn't mesh as a whole.

Even now I'm not sure if I tried to over or under analyse it.
