Book Synopsis
The energy war, the nuclear war, the food war. Earth had been ravaged by them for two centuries, leaving the soil unable to sustain a large population. A hero and leader emerged and took humanity to the stars. The second planet that mankind calls home is named Eden.
Life on Eden didn't start out as it had on Earth, humanity brought technology with them, but Eden had a gift to bestow, magic. It was quickly adapted to everything, and time lead to humanity rebuilding back to its former glory, and beyond.
It has been 1000 years on the new home, and that is where we find Vernon Douglas. He is a high school student who is not blessed with the gift of natural magic. He has to focus through runes for his magic to work, as does a quarter of the population. High school is a nasty place, but for Vernon it is about to end. He has dreams of becoming a Paladin of the Order of Astrum, but he doesn't know how he would ever become noticed to be chosen.
Fate has given him a chance in the form of a magical arts tournament, newly available to high school students. Mixed Magical Arts is a sport that was created to test the limits of magic, while making a game of it. His best friend Duke joins his side, as his firebrand girlfriend Marie cheers him on.
Does Vernon have what it takes to get him through the tournaments?
Is his dream of becoming a Paladin out of his reach, or out of his hands?
Come and follow him through his final year, and find out.
Author Interview
Q: What's so special about the Cypher Theorem Series?
A: It's a high technology society, that has magic everywhere. There is a device that each person wears from birth called a HaLO (Haptics, Linguistics, and Optics). It connects them to an altered reality network, where overlays are used to enhance everyday living. The main character Vernon Douglas is a regular kid on his last year of high school, and he dreams of becoming a Paladin, which is basically the prestige military group for the Astrum Government. The series is going to follow Vernon and his friends as they grow, and become part of society. Vernon is going to find out the special circumstances to his birth, and how that will affect humanity.
Q: What order should I read the books in?
A: -The Zero Class
-Shadow Moon
-Dragon Fire(Coming Soon)
-To Be Announced(Coming Soon)
Q: Why should readers give this series a shot?
A: it's an action packed ride with a mixture of technology and magic, which I like to call magitech. There's fighting, spell casting, and some mystery thrown in for good measure. If you like any of that, you'll love the books.
And thanks for reading!

From the Author
This is the first book in the series, the second being Shadow Moon, and the third yet to be finished Dragon's Fire is coming soon. This was my first book, and experience writing to tell a story for no one other than myself. It was the reason that I have continued writing, because I can't imagine doing anything else.
About the Author
I was born and raised in Texas, and adopted by two wonderful parents. My imagination has always been there for me, in the best and worse times in my life. Writing is the passion that I have been searching for for all these years, and it has been the most fun that I have had on any project I have ever done. My wife Christine is a constant source of encouragement, and light in my life to help make this all happen.

Poorly written and edited
By Petur O. Jonsson
I bought this book as a kindle countdown deal for 99 cents, partially based on the five previous perfect five-star reviews of the book. The earlier reviews notwithstanding, the book is shockingly awful. The writing is not only inept; the book does not seem to have been edited at all, not even by a word processing grammar checker. After reading the book I wondered who could possibly have written the previous glowing reviews. So, I took a closer look at the reviewers and it turns out that all of the five of these adoring commentators reviewed not only this book, but also the other book that was written by this author (Mark Brandon Powell). Yet, none of them have ever written any reviews of any other books by any other authors. Perhaps this is pure coincidence; perhaps these reviewers are not connected to the author in any way. Then again, I am a strong believer in Occam’s razor.
But on to the book itself: Let me first say that the author does have a certain ability to spin a yarn. The book is also written in a conversational stream-of-consciousness style that might actually work, if only the author were halfway literate. In this context, I do not mind the author’s use of misspelled colloquialisms such as “your gonna” for either ‘you're gonna’, or ‘you are going to’, etc. The glimmer of an authentic narrative voice kept me reading, multiple grammatical errors and nonsensical punctuation on virtually every page of the book notwithstanding. The author tries (not quite successfully) to write the story in the present tense. Presumably this is meant to create a sense of immediacy to draw us in. Unfortunately the author’s sense of grammar is simply not up to the task at hand. For example, he consistently writes “he see” rather than “he sees” something. Occasionally, he also seems to lose track and the past tense slips in with a certain present vs. past tense conflict. In other cases he mixes up incoherent fragments of different thoughts into a single sentence which, even when his words might make some sense in context, each sentence alone turns into utter gobbledygook. Sometimes the author mixes things up to the point that we completely lose track of the pronoun referent and thus are confused about the object at hand. The punctuation is also quite inconsistent throughout the book with inappropriate commas inserted seemingly at random while commas that are necessary for coherence are missing. Add to this a variety of spelling errors: “aer” vs. are; “principle” vs. principal; “awe” vs. aww; “rolls” vs. roles; “manors” vs. manners, etc. On top of this the author is prone to subject-verb disagreements, singular-plural disagreements, plural vs. possessive confusion and he also sometimes leaves out critical words or articles, all of which further exacerbates the incoherence and messiness of his writing.
Consider just a few typical examples:
“I’m a runic marksmen”
(marksman)
“… there have been a less attacks on the domes”
(“a less attacks” or fewer attacks)
“They [?] starting to realize …”
(‘are’ seems missing)
“There were five in all but the other four on the trip over.”
(other four what???)
“The sports fields are usually full because it is a challenge not to use your magic when playing in a physical sport”
(what??)
“He told everyone they must have needed to limit the number of participants down and thought this was a good way to go about it.”
(Is “they” supposed to refer to “everyone” here? Also “down” is superfluous)
“Emma and Flint, don’t even hear the two saying anything and they both get flushed in the face.” (Emma and Flint were flushed or the other two were flushed?)
“Thinking back to the walk over to the school today, Mary had run out of her house just to tell him a good luck kiss and ran back inside.”
(seriously, this is an accurate quote)
“He thinks about asking everyone in school, and the thought makes him cringe and skin crawl.”
(superfluous comma; it made him skin crawl [is skin crawling some new crumping move?] or did the author mean to say it made [his] skin crawl)
“She waited to tell us after we ate not to ruin the celebration”
(she waited and then told us that we should not ruin the celebration; or else was there something she did not want to tell us until after the celebration?)
“The tryouts were a [sic] quick. Duke and Vernon beat all the caster students who wanted to try out with little effort.”
(did D&V beat them out with little effort, or did the caster students want to try out with little effort? Proper punctuation straightens this out: they beat all the caster students, who wanted to try out, with little effort.)
“The notice should have [sic] sent though [sic] the HaLO virtual Network”
(should it have [been] sent through the network?)
“He knows he can [?] more than just a rating and can be the guy that not only she deserves but [?] praised for being with.”
(again, this is a verbatim quote)
“Marie’s parents are in the government for Saint Anthony, and before the dome the city had a smaller feel to it.”
(non sequiturs like this abound)

The kernel of an interesting story, but bad editing lost me.
By D. Jay Newman
The only reason I gave this book two stars instead of one is that the story, while predictabe, held my interest. The author has the potential to be a good storyteller. Unfortunately he is a horrible writer. At least once on every page there was a "misspelled" word. Well, it was always a real word, but the wrong one. My favorite was using "asses" where he meant "assess."
While that was his major probem, he would also say something in narrative and the contradict it in dialog. Use either narrative or dialog to say something, don't use both to say the same (or worse yet, contradictory) things.
He strongly needs an editor. i will not read another book by him until he prmisses in writing that he will hire an editor for all his books. It's too much trouble to figure out what the wrong words mean.
Another problem is that this book was set in the future on another world, which I didnt get until half way through the book.
Yet another problem was the "zero class" (magic users who aren't aligned to a specific element) were looked down upon, when in reality they were fairly strong and this was well known.
Yet another problem is that the writer used game stats for the characters (mana pool, health points, etc.) I like role playing games, but I don't like the fiction I'm reading taking me outof the story by telling me that here is a game character rather than a fictonal character.
Again, a good editor would have caught all of these problems. Please, get an editor and you'll get more return readers. Think of this as an investment in your future.
On the other hand, I liked the cover.

Could use a good hose down.
By JRR
I didn't hate it, but I can't throw it that third star, either. I downloaded on 8/15/15, and I'd hate to see the original version if I got the edited one. Errors don't usually bother me, but these were distracting. That, added to the disjointed overall feel, really turned me off. Weird time skips, accents that just sort of appear, scenes that morph into other scenes, it's just not very consistent. I could probably deal with all of that, though. My real problem was that everyone seemed to think the hero was really skilled, but he kept getting his caboose handed to him. He's a baddie unless he goes super saiyan, then he immediately passes out. Blech.
It really just needs a scrub down to be decent.
