I have read sci-fi/fantasy novels, graphic novels, even comic editions for so long now and drop on this genre once in a while to take respite from the romance novels I normally read. One of the things that attracts me to this genre these days is the artistry of these novels in both text and graphic art. Thanks to sci-fi-based technology we now take for granted, more and more artists and authors find it easier to get their ideas across. One of those authors is Perie Wolford.

I am not unfamiliar with this author's work, in fact, I must admit that I am very familiar with it. However, I have ignored his sci-fi works until I stumbled upon this little digital booklet while going over his site and I took interest to read it. It was for Free, so what was I to lose? Nothing. However, I quickly found myself lost in the worlds he created, spurring my curiosity of what this book may be all about. And boy, was I surprised!

Presence is Samantha's story, a magnetically young and beautiful woman on the brink of losing herself to the noise. This noise (best described as white noise) had been in her head for some months now, insidiously taking over her every waking and sleeping patterns. As her personal life falls around her and her grasp on sanity gets questioned, she stumbles into a reality that involved parallel worlds, non-existence, soldiers and the System.

One by one, what she knew of as 'reality' gets taken down and squashed. She discovers a truth that involves a dying parallel world called Beta which people are now silently invading her planet; that there are rules to take to heart or be erased by the supreme System; that she needs to follow these rules so she could get her life back by stealing the lives of others to pay rent with the use of the trap balls, and that her life could change dramatically thanks to the Blue sunrise and the liquid. Confused and unaccepting of her new life, Samantha plunges herself into this new world with a vengeance, fighting from within the System like a seasoned soldier. As this new Samantha rises, we see a soldier of firm determination and a perseverance that could only be admired and hated from afar by the elite of Beta. Reading Samantha's story unfold, her world is seen as a constant whirl of betrayal, confusion, trap balls and men.

The best way to describe Presence is a matrix: where the world of man collides with a Supreme one, they learn to take it apart and discover its individual properties and eventually learn to manipulate it to their own advantage. What is known on Earth (Alpha) as God, those on Beta know it as the System. These are two different worlds with supposedly different fates, but with Beta dying, and the third world Gamma an inhospitable desert, there is only one certainty: invasion.

It was not very difficult to understand this book, thanks to the Digital Booklet. With that on one hand and this novel on the other, it was quite easy to connect the dots and come up with a full picture. It was quite easy to understand what the noise was all about, thanks to the video trailer. With these tools, I got submerged in Samantha's world and was just plain intrigued.

The author has created a world that aroused my curiosity. It was confusing and fascinating all at once. With a light touch, he was able to quickly set the pace to such depth that it amazes me how he could get the story lines straight. There are a lot of things going on here, most of which is best left to the reader to discover for themselves, but one thing stands out: Samantha's adventure into the unknown is like drowning in a dark world of the fight for survival. As her character evolves, she is revealed to be a very strong heroine, the likes whom are only found in some of the more outstanding heroines of science fiction. She is a determined fighter who is willing to make use whatever tools she could to survive and fight the System that is insidiously invading her planet. Even if she has to sacrifice her life.

For those who love the intrigue and all things science fiction, Presence is one book not to missed.

Presence Perie Wolford 9781909224995 Books Reviews

Although this was my first Sci-Fi read, I really enjoyed it! It's full action, mystery, with just a touch of romance. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire read. The imagination it took to write this was amazing and i definitely can't wait to read more from this author. 5 STARS!
Usually I am not very into this kind of book but this one just wow, I loved it and I hope the next one is soon to come because I really want it. I thought it was a great read and couldn't put it down
I enjoyed it. It had good pace. I liked the characters. Interesting plot twists with the three worlds and the differences between them. Plus It carries on to the next book.
I enjoyed this book and can't wait for Presence 2. Perie Wolford has a fresh idea for this sci fi series and a correspondingly fresh approach. He draws you in to this alternative universe and his characters. I'm not giving it five stars because of typos that should have been cleaned up by a good editor. In a way, that goes with the raw feel of the story, but it can be a bit distracting, too. I feel this author will get better and better.
In many more families, than we would like to admit, there are people suffering supposed neurological problems such as those initially experienced by the lead character, 'Samantha'. However, most people would not be able to express what they are feeling as well as the author of 'Presence'. The key players are described with a richness and depth that left me breathless at times. I soon developed a real empathy for them and I was somewhat relieved when their troubles turned out to have a tangible, albeit out-of-this-world, explanation. From then on, I couldn't wait to turn the pages, to see what happened next their parallel lives very cleverly, sensitively, and sensually entwined, completely dependent on each other. I have never wanted to read as much in a single sitting before. I found this book captivating and as a result I may not be able to look a New Yorker in the eye ever again!
I’m not sure how to properly review the book as I am a rookie in this genre (Science Fiction is not my typical read).

However, I was very curious about this book just by its synopsis. So with that being said, I will simply drop a few lines to talk about the book from my personal perspective.

It took me a few tries to adapt to the writing (I felt it dry and ironic in places) and it was not an easy read, but once I got into the stride of it, I settled right in. I don’t regret the time I took to go “off the reserve” so to speak to read this. Once I “got it”, I thought the story was engaging. It had everything I believe would be included in a Sci-Fi book. It had some tension and mystery, with some wonder and imagination.
My small quirk? I didn’t feel the characters were skillfully fleshed out, however, for some reason they fit the tone of the book. I could easily overlook my small nuance with that piece and really enjoy the read. I am looking forward to the second book!
Actually, I read this book in December, 2013 or Janury of this year... I'm not sure lol
This story is totally awesome! From the beginning you are caught with a need to know what is that "noise".
However, I don't give it five stars because I feel like it is necessary develop the characters a little bit more. There is too many "blanks" on the story; sometimes it moves on too fast and another times too slow.
The soldiers invading Alpha... the trick balls, the System... Tim, Josh, Archie T_T
And OMG that finale... knowing that the things are going to make worse in Beta... Just can't wait for the second book.
It was so amazing!
