The Discovery of Socket Greeny

The Discovery of Socket Greeny
By Tony Bertauski

Socket Greeny lives in an era of technology. After school, he hops into the virtualmode (a virtual world of fighting) and lives for the adrenaline rush. In fact, he practically prefers virtualmode to reality. In his actual reality, his mother’'s first priority is her work, so he’s always home alone. He doesn’t even know what she does for a living!

One day, his reality (or is it his virtualmode?) shatters. He learns exactly what his mother does; she works for The Paladin Agency. An almost alien race, called the Paladin’s, that can control the flow of time and protect the human race from harmful things (and sometimes protect the humans from themselves.) Who knew his mom worked for a whole different dimension?  Socket’'s life took another tumble as he is controversially claimed as a Paladin Prodigy, his powers skyrocket off the charts. Amidst the Paladin’s fighting, the earth is threatened and it will be up to Socket to save the world, or destroy it.

I’'m such a sucker for science fiction stories. I love Socket Greeny and his story to death. The negatives are a medium amount of cussing and a handful or so of innuendos. Nonetheless it was a fantastic science fiction; I can’'t wait to see what happens to Socket next. I absolutely recommend this for science fiction fans.
