DO NOT interact with the environment.
DO NOT interfere with events.
DO NOT reveal the ability to Cross.
Tyler has broken the rules. But which? All of them?
Chased by the organisation, he will Cross through worlds to uncover the true traitor or risk the lives of zillions.
Tyler Nitbone must interfere to undo the interference.

About the author
Imran Siddiq
9 books60 followersImran Siddiq may have tried to leave Leicester a few times, but it's become his place to wake up to, freeze when the heating is off, and serve two cats and, most of all, get down to writing.
At the age of 29, during a night in the jungle (of his mind –he is a writer, after all), Imran’s writing bug awakened, and for the last 5 years, he’s been sacrificing every second that he can to writing. A veteran of writing festivals, a constant presence on Twitter, and one who is still able to gobble up all forms of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, Imran hopes he can bring a smile to others through his stories.
Imran’s preferred genre is YA Sci Fi. He has a tendency to throw a droid into every novel –literally every novel.

I enjoyed this - Good storyline across parallel universes, although personally, I could have done without quite so much detail on the fight scenes; it was sometimes hard to visualise all the moves.
I loved Shape, the robot...he's a really well written character. That's not to say Tyler and Michelle aren't as good, but there's something about the sassy little tablet-cum-robot that I really warmed to.
There's a message in the book too - interfere too much with the world, and you just might have to accept the consequences.

I received this as a free copy from Goodreads in their First Reads giveaways.
I am giving this book a 4 star rating. The story was very exciting and I liked the thought of traveling to parallel universes. The story kept me interested and I'm looking forward to reading a continuation of the story of Tyler, Shape, and the other people at AWO.
The book could have used a good round of editing (maybe it will before it gets its first official printing). Incorrect punctuation, missing words, and mixed around words were distracting. I understand from other reviews that Mr. Siddiq self published this book, I just think that it needs a little polishing.
My other little issue is that the book is set in the United States. Names of parents (okay Mum), names of items, and units of measurement are not "standard" or what we use here in the US. They are metric or British names of items. I would have read the book if it was mainly set in London instead of Area 51 Nevada, so I'm not sure why he would set in the US but use words we don't use here.

This is a story with a lot of depth. It deals with being wrongly accused of a crime.Even worse the lead character-Tyler has been framed.
I say the plot has a lot of depth because it is science fiction which makes it even more intriguing,though at times it's a bit complicated.
That said,Siddiq has crafted an interesting yarn well worth reading.
I like novels where I can root for the underdog and vicariously be in their shoes.

I immediately love the physicality of this book. Something about the simple, yet interesting cover image. Then there's the fact that the pages are a very unusual colour. So creamy they're almost yellow, but not in the way that an old book yellows.
They also smell... Soapy. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel strongly drawn to this book. It feels... unique.

The book wasn't bad. It's just not a book for me. I got it on firstreads, so I'm supposed to give a review, but nothing comes to mind. I bet it would be fun to read if you're a younger boy, I guess. Certainly a lot of action.
My copy was printed just perfect. The cover's so nice to the touch, and the pages of such great quality, softly cream yellow. A true delight for someone like me who loves stationery and nicely printed things.
